To an extent positive pressure or negative doesn't matter, If you have positive pressure with filtered intakes and don't clean the system then the filters get clogged, It gets starved of air and it runs hotter. If you do clean the pc every 6 months or so like you should (side panel off, blow it all out. then its exactly the same either way. Design doesn't matter if you fail maintenance. I'm no newb, I have a spreadsheet inventory of all my cases, cpus, psu's etc so when I want to build a system I can think about the part selection and built it on paper first, I would suggest doing the same as it makes things allot faster and the builds at the end are more concise because you dont get half way through and go oh wait I'm using that with that? That doesnt make sense. Edit: You say no rear IO shield, What I hear is VRM ventilation for the cpu cooler run-off so you don't get a heat trap.

I've managed to find homes at other non-profits for most of the old but still serviceable gear retired from my non-profit. My org is pretty well-funded and we stick pretty closely to our 3-5 year workstation lifecycle, but many others aren't and don't so it really helps them, and saves me from doing an e-waste dump run. And it's been my experience with pre-builts that you need only install Win10 and it automatically licenses it as Pro, even if it originally came with 7 or 8. If MS isn't going to ask for money, I see no reason to speak up about it. ;-) And I finally found a place to dump a load of old rack-mount Cisco gear with, a local high school computer engineering class expressed interest. The teacher never liked me much when I was there because I spent a lot of my time messing with his perfect lab network, but he'll happily take my hand-me-downs now

Well now here's something which baffles me. If this is just going to be a Chromebook-ish thing, why didn't you do a Linux system? MATE or XFCE would have made for a real nice desktop on here, and evrything's pretty much self-explanatory. Non-consensual updates wouldn't break the systme since updates can be configured to security only or _never_ and it could had been entirely free of charge. save for the fact a business is using this so you'd still have to license it but _nobody would had ever known_ and it would had worked just fine.

To little surprise of long time viewers, it only took about 2 minutes of Steve explaining the new build he brought for the shelter until all the cats were asleep. The staff yawned in amazement until only a short APU vs CPU comparison later, they too succumbed to the soothing sounds of Steve's monotone voice. With everyone asleep, The crew packed up and feeling his disappointment, the audience at sighed in sync with Steve as he left once again without getting any pussy to bring home to his rather dark, RGB-less man cave.

I just did build in the A1 Plus for our living room gaming PC and I feel the pain in this video. I thought it was bad that it took me 6 hours to shoe horn a 3800x with wraith cooler, 32GB of GSkill Trident Z royal RGB, a 256Gb 960 Pro NVMe, two 500Gb 850 Evo 2. 5 drives, the two included RGB fans and a 1080Ti FTW3 into that case. I've never had to build and PC and take it apart so many times. Now that I've watch this video I don't feel so bad about it taking 6hrs and the swearing that occured. Haha

IO plate missing. AHHHHHHHH. NOOOOOOO. though i suppose positive pressure will keep the hair out, just the danger of something getting poked into the port area and making it go kaboom. haha. I use Positive pressure in my Corsair 570X Crystal SE, works well! And save the fecking IO shields! So annoying. Also seen how much they go for when for older/classic/ retro boards etc? I also have one of those keyboards. What spec was the old PC?

I have one of those HDMI to VGA (active) converters and my monitor keeps displaying the message: Out of range. Luckily its on my linux server, so the screen is off most of the time, but when you're digging in the bios its pretty frigging annoying to have a blue square in the middle of the screen the whole time, so its not always a good solution.

Props on the good cause, seems a good outlet for clearing shelf space and should be more common, however I am disappointed that the Cute PET didn't make it in. I think that would have been perfect for that build, if you had a vertical mountable ITX case. Otherwise, would have been waste. Maybe next time: ) Enjoy the new year guys x
