[Build] Geometric Future Model 2,

KleoZy — Thu, 20 Feb 2025 12:50:28 +0800

My friend Leon from LM Photography did this build. It's too beautiful as not to share. Enjoy!

This is his message.

Built this PC for my spouse and migrated most of the staff from Ghost S1 SFF case. It’s more quiet and cooling especially this case looks like a decor on the computer desk.

Parts: MSI z790i with 13900ks | 32Gb x2 ddr5 | Loki 850w sfx-L | ASRock B850 steel legend GPU | 360mm AIO and fans from Geometric.

This case is easy to work on and it is light and flexible. It doesn’t break and it is tough and pretty scratch resistant. It has a lot of mounting possibilities that is well documented in the manual.

I have done on similar cases like fractal design mood and Corsair 2000D, SSUPD Meshroom S but this case really get my vote on the looks and setup.

Will O-11D Mini Fit EK Nucleus CR360 AIO?, O-11D Mini + EK Nucleus CR360

ecksdeez — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 03:00:04 +0800

I'm planning to buy EK Nucleus CR360 and I wonder will it fit nicely in the O-11D Mini. Wanted to do a push-pull configuration as well. I'm using an ITX motherboard. I'm abit concerned that the CR360 dimension that is stated on the website is 400 x 124 x 27 mm.

How to make hole at back of casing smaller?, I have a problem.

CommodoreAmiga — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 17:15:24 +0800

Basically it's like this. I want to install this PCIE x1 Wifi card to my PC...which is a very slim desktop casing the size of a PS4 Fat. Basically, it doesn't have any rear slots because it doesn't expect you to add anything....

So i've decided to install a Pcie WIFI card anyway, with the use of a PCIE x1 extension cable/riser. I have drilled one hole at the back and enlarge an existing hole to allow the antenna point of the card to be pass through. But even if the Antenna are wired to the card, the thing is too loose and there is no support anywhere as the hole is kind of big (if it's too small, it cannot go through). Although it might work, but the card will be dangling inside the case with zero support.

Is there anyway to make a tighter fit or with support? I was thinking how to fill the hole to make it smaller, tried adding stuff like double sided tape, masking tape to the card connection point to make it thicker in the middle so the hole can fit the card, but it doesn't work...

Any ideas???

[WTA] KV area drilling service, Drill 2.5mm wide hole aluminium

michaelkhai — Sat, 25 Sep 2021 20:46:00 +0800

Hi sifu,

Sorry....DIY noob here....

Am wondering any workshop in KV area provide hole-drilling service using a drill press?

Need to drill a 2.5mm diameter hole into a aluminium CPU heatsink for tapping and later mounting onto a laptop CPU.

Tried practice drilling using a cordless drill, carbide tip into a 10mm thick aluminium plate, find it quite difficult to drill into the plate and keep the drill in a perfect vertical hole.

Vertical GPU Riser on Dell Precision T1650,

qhalidx — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 13:12:20 +0800

Hi All,

I have a question regarding modding my T1650 Desktop server. I am current using Radeon 560 4GB Single fan GPU due to length limitation (7inch clearance) on the chassis. Since i can't use a full length card, can i install the GPU vertically using the Vertical Mod kit? The only drawback i can understand is the side cover can't be closed.

A simple run down on the specs
