Do you guys know of a decent prebuilt HTPC style system that will fit in a media center and have a decent graphics card for around $700? This guy in the parts picking thread needs help and I don't want to tell him to get an Alienware Alpha due to the mobile GPU. He was looking at some terrible HP with a GTX 745.

particle9 posted:Maybe a Falcon Northwest Tiki? https://www.falcon-nw.com/desktops/tiki/design Not $700 though. I mean, $700 is pretty low for a pre-built all inclusive with discreet graphics. For that range he's looking at something like a Alienware Alpha. Yeah that's fair and those look beautiful but I'm guessing that far exceeds his budget. I guess I'll suggest the alienware alpha to begin with and if anyone else has suggestions for someone who's scared to build their own, please help that dude out.

I'm really curious about those coolers. They look neat but will they be effective? They remind me of the tunnel from Event Horizon:

Also due to using google translate on the page I can't say if they have any for sure. I doubt they ship internationally but hey: https://www.hanoicomputer.vn/case-jonsbo-w1-black-window-mid-tower/p17020.html

Hed posted:I'm trying to get a tiny computer with at least two Ethernet holes and ability to have fixed mass storage so I can have a jump box that's better than a RaspPi with a million dongles hanging off it. I know there are some NUC-sized boxes that could do the trick, but wondering if I could go smaller. The first one has its specs on the page. I'm not sure what's inside it, though: SOC Marvell Armada 3720LP (88F3720) dual core ARM Cortex A53 processor @ 1.2GHz System Memory 1 GB DDR4 RAM on board Storage 8 GB EMMC So, it probably won't be great. I don't know what price you were considering but there are a few single board computers that are x86 based and do a pretty good job, but not all have dual ethernet. The Seeed Odyssey came out recently and is a little smaller than a NUC: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Odyssey-Blue-J4105-128GB-p-4668.html Here's a review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XV8dlFwNd0

My PicoPSU had the jack attached to a flange with two mounting holes. You could easily trim a piece of metal, salvage one from an old power supply, or 3d print a piece that would fit in the slot and have an opening for the jack. I'm not sure if someone makes such a thing prefab but there's some designs on thingiverse for 3d printing: SFX size https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1023509 ATX size: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3760352 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:105150 this one might need modification but I guess it's ATX: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1805454 Being mostly flat those would probably only take a few hours to print.

I picked up an Intel NUC on ebay. It's broadwell and had no SSD or power supply so it was $75. I used a universal laptop charger I had spare for the power brick and put in a 250 GB NVMe for $40. Set top box just running windows.

Got one from a friend, which would be perfect to move my nas into ( I've got an old tried but true matx supermicro X10SL7-F even!) but for some reason he threw out the second drive cage Might need to have someone 3d print one, there's an stl for it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5146359 If you don't have a printer or a friend with one I think there's a goon printing service in SA-Mart.

WilWheaton posted:oh my god, I'd looked up and down and only found the adapters for larger capacity drives, this is perfect! No problem, I'd volunteer to print it but I'm angry with my printers right now. I like 3d printing but the printers I could loving strangle sometimes. If you can't find anyone else, though, hit me up.
