Your PC ATM

[sneekypeet]

I haven't even had my new case for a month, but already managed to break the front (top) panel USB ports with a dodgy stick. It had a piece of plastic sticking out which I didn't notice, and it folded one of the pins back in each port. I fixed one of the ports with a sewing pin, but the other one completely broke in the attempt. I never ever had something like this happen to me. So annoyed... I hope this (link) replacement will solve the issue whenever it arrives from China. If it arrives at all.

I would get in touch with the manufacturer with the complaint. I have seen them replace the entire I/O panel (if removable) or otherwise they can ship the panel that contains it. May as well try for free rather than spending money to fix it.

Anything from China or that area of the world is going to take weeks mate, as they have next to no airmail ATM there's bugger all flights from what I understand and everything is being sent overland.
I ordered a 90 Degree 8 Pin ATX EPS Motherboard Angle Connector Adapter a month ago back and it's not even arrived here in the UK as yet.
If I were you and you need those USB ports badly, i'd look to finding someone in your own area to buy from

It's not the end of the world, just annoying, especially with a brand new case. I managed to fix one of the ports, which is enough for the moment. The only reason why I ordered the replacement from China is because only this one seems to be the type I need for my case, with the mounting holes at similar places and all that. If it takes a month or two to arrive for the £5 I paid, so be it.

@sneekypeet: It might be worth a try, though I'm not sure how willing they would be to replace a broken part that was my fault (even if I say it wasn't).

Sorry, I guess I must have misread. I assumed the port had the plastic bit, but going back I see you call the stick dodgy. my bad.

i looks at all these PCs and I'm so amazed

In my company, they gave me a laptop to work remotely. Sometimes it sounds like it's going to fly to the moon, so noisy.

My Company laptop is the same , sounds like it is getting ready to take off . I just save everything to a portable drive and do it on my own PC

Thanks very much . Only used my Phone for pics . Its probably the best case I have had to work in , and being able to put reservoir and pumps in the back helps to make it look better I think .

From a sexual stand point, it is pure sex.

It's an Aerocool Aero One Mini. I've looked all over Amazon and Ebay, but the Chinese cable I linked is the only one that looks fairly similar to what I need.

tou could try Scan.co.uk , they list the case . they may be able to help

They were the first ones I tried as I bought the case from them in the first place. The problem is, they don't make the front panel cables separately from the case in the specific configuration that I need (with the mounting holes and all), so my only choice is the Chinese noname stuff from ebay unfortunately.

Hey, it's been awhile since I've posted. I put a UV light on the case's ceiling {?} and have been trying to take advantage of that. So I bought a Cricut cutter to make fluorescent shapes. I covered the rear fan frame in glossy photo paper. Turns out white vinyl doesn't reflect much UV light I ordered a set of custom cables from Mainframe Customs. They'll be black and white and show off the black light. The PCI power cables will be bridged, so I'm hoping it'll look as awesome as I imagine lol. I'll take time late to show off the whole set up

Much more compact - i like it. Is it all synced with icue? how are you controlling the RGB?

Yeah icue..... I only have means to control 9 of the fans currently for RPM though lol the back fan I have on silent through the mobo.


I still need to work a bit on the cables but too tired lol

 

[SpikeHob]

Looking good , the 011 XL is an awesome case to build in . I used the AI suite software to control the fan speed . I found that with this number of fans , you can set them quite low and still get more than enough cooling . Mind you that's in the cool England , not hot California US !

That's really funny! Yeah it's a inverted design case. Actually read about it here in a review back then, for the first time and then decided to buy it later.

Out of interest, are the thermals any different?

the case for what it is, is very well fashioned, as in, it is very open, ventilators have direct "access" to the heating parts, no obstructions, but this could be said about any well designed case, so the answer is, probably not, based on it just being inverted.

I guess it doesn't really matter whether the fans on your graphics card push hot air from the heatsink upwards, or cold air down onto the heatsink. Weird concept, but definitely interesting!

exactly! way too many think this case is weird, but actually I like it way more, because I can see the fricking GPU frontside and not just the backside!
