I need to figure out how to make my computer case smaller and still fit full size board in it, with space to work around it. Looking at it, the mass of extra spaces is the ~10 hard drive bays on the front? not the height. The height of the case is 20inches
within getting a smaller case, it also has to have a configuration that makes it fairly easy to exhaust the heat out, while it sits sideways in an air ride foam, that can get it to survive the bumps of the road.
@DavidPostill , who is that lady? Why does she type like she has some computer knowledge "now I need to trace these firewalls using crl" even though 80% of the time the stuff she types is uneducated. are you saying it's some troll?
@JourneymanGeek ahh, probably just what i need. Is this one of those "square" cases where the motherboard already sits flat? (and so therin the heavy heat sink will be verticle)
hey guys wanna know what I can't parse? how does someone see stuff farther away or see more. I mean what about creatures that can see 360 degrees.
how can a human understand and compare their 2d roughly 180 degree view to a 360 degree view hmm I guess I can roughly synthesize it by putting my hands on the side of my face and slowly blocking eyesight. they just see that. how do we render 360 degree cameras on a 2d canvas we can't without it being imperfect.
interesting
I used to think to myself, why can this person see further than me, that means their image takes up more "space", they have a wider image in their brain, because you can't really measure the size of the image in your brain I guess

lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-tu300 here is one that only has a 5.25 Slim? and just barely enough space for (something like) 2x helium drives and a SSD. I always wanted a lian-li because the aluminum could potentially move more heat out via the case.
so what is a slim? would that require some crappy laptop dvd? would they come in a blu-ray burner too ?
it also has filters. It is important to me to have some capability , however it is done, to filter the air, to reduce internal cleaning cycles.
isn't it crazy how smart the what word am I looking for, the biological thing of biology and living things that makes living things transform over long periods of time for survival.
Then if you think about it, what if that biological thing is in itself alive and it spawned all these different animals plants mammals etc (okay you got me on animals and mammals) in order for this huge biological thing system to survive.
for example, this fish is not intelligent enough to know that eyes are located on the face and so it needs fake eyes to lure off prey!
oh that was wrong, the HAF case is not limited to the height for tower coolers.
I was looking at the lian version of the same square box thing, youtu.be/D-RzQMovdcI?t=143 in this pic with the guy as a referance size , they are huge.
one of my (brilliant ;-) ideas is that i can place the computer under the seats in a trailer, as they leave the space under the seats for storage. a Sideways laying mid-tower looks like it would fit there. Being sideways would take the terrible pressures off the GPU board and CPU heatsink, which have always been horizontal in normal cases.
the square cases are already sideways (so to speak) and always give way better access to working on things. but the top bottom layering that is usual for them, means they are not really short either. a sideways laying normal computer would be shorter than the cube style.
the lian being aluminum weigh in literally 1/2 the weight, which could be important. my usual computer ends up weighing in SOO much ,mostly because of all the drive bricks, which is the first thing i was thinking of reducing.
I have never thought of my computer case as being heavy when first purchaced, but after filling it up with all the goodies, it is like Uggg WTF , its just a computer, not a weight lifting challenge.
I was never properly taught to be self-sufficient, nor was I given any major responsibilities such as managing a large pet (cat, dog, etc.). My parents never had much confidence that I could be self-reliant, which is why I've always been less mature than I should be. I'm in a much worse position than a lot of young adults.
there are quite a few single layer HTPC type of cases , designed to sit on thier side, that will still handle a full ATX board. But many of them have 80mm fans. I would rather gouge my ears out , than go back to 80mm fans :-) amazon.com/Silverstone-LC13B-E-USB3-0-Aluminum-Center-USB3-0/dp/…
I realize the world is full of hazards and dangers and that my parents want to protect me from the "dangerous" outside world, but the fact of the matter is that risk cannot be completely eliminated and that I do need to be exposed to some risk to properly mature.
it is really hard to shop for this computer case online. mini ITX cases look about the same size in the pictures. it takes reading 30 comments to discover what i will see in 2 seconds if seeing it for real in the store. I think i better go to the real store at least first.
If you there isn't a physical sample for you to look at, the best way to get a sense of the dimensions is to actually look them up and use a tape measure to visualize it.
that is the fuzzy part. basically they size them down, compare the colors and pixels and based on the similarity you set, it will only find the same pic, or many pics that are very similar. everytime it takes some human effort to analise what to toss.
Best to try it with a smaller set at first, so you get the idea. but i think you can adjust similarity after , keeping the (yawn) database that it has aquired.
just be happy you didnt buy this one kickstarter.com/projects/secretlabs/… (agent watch) 1million dollers 3 years ago, and still selling slots. . . but none delivered yet.
@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere She is a mentally disturbed person with a little computer knowledge who believes everybody is out to hack hers systems using radio waves (or so it seems from her ramblings) :)
Apparently she is actually bipolar/depressive. Her writings are everywhere (all caps of course).
@DavidPostill yes i kinda got that picture too :-) but we need people like that sometimes. like the homeless guy who rants endlessly about Taxes, while it is easily brushed aside until april 15th comes along, and everyone is ranting about taxes :-)
sometimes they are right, and they are the only people actually SPEAKING OUT about it as loudly as we all should have, before we lost it .
@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere If you look (pun intended) at the way a human process normal 180 degree vision we are not seeing the whole image at once. The brain is interpolating meaning onto a mental map built up from what we have seen previously. We don't interpret the whole image freshly every time. One if the triggers is movement. That's why we spot fast moving things instantly but ignore slow moving things even though we see them. You see cars move for example but not every individual moving leaf on a tree.
@bwDraco Most of them don't work for me. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, Firefox 49.0.1
and it got water in it while I was washing my hands. The screen died, but I fixed it after they sent me a time. The waterproofing is still broken though
Whatever these guys use can understand "what is the speed of an unladen swallow" and figures out "what is the way to vivo city" as what is the way to rivet city
@Bob same :) I use my pebble for a few stuff, like generating 2fa keys and looking at time / checking notifications / timer etc. Time 2 is amazing but I can't justify the upgrade as I'm happy with this and the only interesting feature of that is the bigger screen.
my last phone lasted 3 years. It had the screen broken on the last 1.5 years. It had buggy software in last 2 years. I still used it. What made me switch was the charge socket breaking.
I could probably fix it but meh, I'm happy with my new phone and I don't want to deal with aliexpress and turkish postal service again.
Stuff I buy have a %25 chance of being fake and %25 chance of getting lost while PTT drags it around the country (this happened. A lot of stuff I ordered arrived in 2-3 months as it was lost).
it doesn't work perfectly, but enough that I cbd upgrading
the time and effort, more than the money
I could go out and buy a Skylake CPU & mobo but then I'd want ot upgrade the case and the PSU and figure out what to do with the old one and aohjfgiorshgoierwahvehrgoer
I haven't worn a watch since I bought my first phone. I thought why do I need a watch when my phone has the time on it and I carry it everywhere anyway? :)
@arda I am one of those people who spent so much gol dang time configuring and setting up some piece of tech gear, the last thing i want to do is start all back at zero again. especially when some of the things i have set-up dont even exist on the new stuff, and the new stuff doesnt replace it either.
The storage space is very low and I could install like 10 vital app total and it'd use all free space. I rooted it and removed the shovelware in it. I have like 30 apps installed and some games rn. Also adaway and stuff are pretty neat.
Sony always had bad/difficult service but they often made products that did not ever require service. Then they joined the "let's make it in china" group, and now i am not sure i should buy any sony ever.
The warranty issue in turkey is not limited to sony in turkey, but also includes nokia, samsung, motorola and pretty much everything you can name (except apple, because they don't outsource it. But meh, not going to pay 1000usd on a phone.)
On pebble you are stuck to tertiary text, preset messages, emojis or voice input.
@DavidPostill pebble time does have a microphone
presets and emojis are not usually useful and I usually need to answer without my phone while I'm in class, so voice input wouldn't work either. Stuck to tertiary text. I mean, all 4 would be better but whatever.
If you're gonna make the whole effort of spending 10 minutes just to type a sentence on your smart watch, wouldn't it just be better if you pulled out your phone?
well if your cheating on a test, it could be the difference between getting a 4.0 and living your whole life as an idiot , or getting a 3.5 and being proud of what you did :-)
