Re: Case Pictures
Oh, that would be cool (replacements vs. unnecessarily long extenders) if they weren't shitty. The PSU connecting end is the most important, you wouldn't want to be second guessing that, especially way inside that enclosure. That could cause like EM interference too with that broken sheathing (if ne...

Re: Gathering parts for new build
So, in the end I decided that PS/2 to USB converter needed to get the Hell off my USB bus. It was causing latency issues with USB input. It wasn't bothering me gaming, but I'm a fairly fast typer and it was causing some glitchy missed keystroke behaviour and causing mouse latency warnings on the roo...

Ahh cool, that makes sense with the PCI-E power connectors. In pics, sometimes the angle of view obscures where things are really coming from. Now that's a cool looking build, your personal rig.

It's a viable brand of PSU, a lot of those experts have them in their videos. I'm more leery of alternative brands of video cards, I've had bad experiences deviating from the path.

Re: Styles
Just a bump to make sure folks know they can change their board style.
I have the dark coloured, non-fixed width style as the default, but there's also a fixed width variant, as well as both fixed and wide for the light one. Go to User Control Panel and Board Preferences

I've heard good things about them too regarding their customer service. However, that's exceptionally nice of them and especially in this day and age where companies don't care.

Re: Fractal Focus case and Motherboards
Well this one never got a chance to have the i/o shield snapped on, as the board was too narrow and the ioport area of the board was about 3/8 inch or so inside the case. There wasn't any other way to mount it, the board could only go in the mounting tray one way and all screws lined up. So, either ...

Re: Fractal Focus case and Motherboards
Hey, wait a minute now:
Did YOUR motherboard fit in the case properly? (might not be the exact, exact same Fractal Focus case design, even if the model and name are the same)and the other one currently has the same Intel based MSI board as you have (I'm now using that while working)

Re: Fractal Focus case and Motherboards
Yes, my red Fractal case has the alignment post.
Thanks for all that info, it actually needs not be Intel hardware. I wouldn't risk an AMD system for myself (very unforgiving, fussier on RAM etc.) but she's not any kind of a power user and we'd save a shit tonne of money.

Re: Need to use display compositor
It's enabled by default in XFCE, I had disabled it. It's a real compositor now I think, in my old XFCE 4.12.0 (on my LFS) I think it's just software rendering for some transparency effects and menu animations etc.
