Hardware 'Wish List' Topic (starting off with a 32:9 Aspect Ratio monitor!)

It is just a case from what I see the specs will be whatever mini ITX board and hardware you throw in there.

[CadetStimpy]

Yah, you're right, Derek. Maybe I'll research what would fit in it, and therefore, how bad-ass could it be?

[DOS76]

The Asus z170I that I got around Christmas would fit in there and you need a SFX PSU and a mini ITX GPU you could make that machine pretty bad ass you may need a low profile cpu fan but that wouldn't be to much.

[DOS76]

I just noticed that it is $189 for the case that is just to much money to spend on a case IMO that only holds 2 drives and 1 expansion card.

I have a CoolerMaster Scout case... I love it so much just for the built in handle on the top. I don't think I would ever own another computer case without a handle. It's been really useful. *edit* Oops... Storm, not Scout.

[DOS76]

I've built 2 PC's in the same CoolerMaster Elite 130 case it isn't anything fancy but it is $45 which is very appealing to me.

Well, it's not directly related to PC's and/or Gaming, but it has computers in it and certainly looks fun! 15mph (even uphill), runs for an hour fully-charged, recharges in 20 minutes, off-road ready, and more! $1500. OneWheel as seen on CNN Money (Video). Company Website If I were already somewhat skate/snowboard skilled, I'd definitely be saving-up for one of these! Why do so many young people wear Winter Stocking Caps when it's quite warm out?

[DOS76]

She probably doesn't but since the demographic they are looking to entice does they had her throw one on. Hot chick dressed like me if I buy one of these I can pick up one of those advertising mentality.

CompuLab's Airtop: a Fan-less (no liquid-cooling, either) Gaming PC? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy3nhYPUd7I They claim it (the G model) can run Crysis.

[DOS76]

Cool advert and pretty awesome concept also I imagine they are expensive at this point.

[CadetStimpy]

DOS76 said I imagine they are expensive at this point.

Looked like $1600 with no Storage or RAM (check-out the G Model then the 'Buy' link).

[DOS76]

No need I could build my own kick ass PC with RAM and storage for less than that or if I spent that imagine what I could build. As long as the fan isn't too loud then it doesn't really bother me.

[CadetStimpy]

Yes, it's not particularly cost-effective, but I thought the idea was kinda cool. A friend of mine back in New Hampshire heated his swimming pool with a very similar concept. He had this stuff all over the roof of his house (south-facing side, of course) that was quite similar to the sides of that PC, but it was black plastic and the channels circulating the pool water were smaller. It was surprisingly effective in heating his pool.

[DOS76]

Don't get it wrong the concept is totally awesome and if some day you can have a powerful and compact fanless PC for a reasonable price that would be great.

[CadetStimpy]

Ya, Derek, I totally agree. Cool concept, but I'll sacrifice the silence for superior flexibility, much greater horsepower (potentially), and better 'value'. But I'm not ruling it out for the future (although I personally wanna try a liquid-cooled rig next build - you said it wasn't that bad ).

[DOS76]

No its easy enough to setup.
