Any PC Gamers Around?

Either way it’s super nice to build in as all 5 sides come off (I/O side stays on),so cable management is surprisingly easy for how tiny it is. I have a big air cooler, a 3 slot 280mm gpu, a full size ATX PSU, two 2.5” SSDs, and 3 fans in mine.

I concur. Using the standard NR200 for my dad and it does the best possible job to make ITX less restricting. The idea I could put a moderate sized air cooler(scythe fuma 2) along with a triple slot GPU was the selling point for me. It's not even expensive compared to many other SFF cases.

Genuinely if this came 1.5 years earlier I would've gone ITX myself.

I gave up on small cases, or silence focused cases. They destroy parts and are still loud at full bore.
Phanteks P400A now with a pair of 140mm and a 120mm (mod) Noctua intake fans is quieter. I do have a pair of exhaust fans in the top/bad corner to keep air off the CPU (big Noctua cooler) moving, worth a couple degrees on the cpu. Next up is fiddling to see if directing air around the GPU can reduce it's temps any. They're decent, but I'd like a little cooler if I can pull it off.

The only fans in my case are exhaust fans, and they’re mounted right where the heat is generated, right by the cpu cooler exhaust and the side of the GPU. The case interior never heats up because most of the heat is evacuated right where it comes out. Keeps it quiet and cool. I’m seeing ~75C under load and it’s much quieter than before because the loudest fans (GPU fans) don’t need to work so hard to push the hot air away from the fins.

Having no intake fans did mean I had to make sure all panels are filtered and all seams are tight, but with the help of a 3D printer that wasn’t too bad.

Preview for FC6 and the best part is, you can have a Weiner dog as a companion!

I think I might give in and pay full price for this game. I loved FC5 too much.

I'll hold out but it does look like it could be fun. I've enjoyed all of the Far Cry games thus far. Though I didn't play Primal.

If you like the genre you'll likely enjoy Primal. I didn't think I would like it, but when it popped up on Steam for cheap I bit. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.

Hah, yea, I know what you mean. If I find myself unable to resist paying full price, I'll just replay 4 or 5 and wait it out.

I haven't tried new dawn or the zombies expansions. So I might finish that and hold out.

I saw Wildlands on sale, I remember it being somewhat fun, not a fan of 3rd person but it would do for a while. Or Division 2, is just so repetitive.

Or I could play one of the other games I haven't gotten to yet on my Steam/Epic/GOG/EA/UPlay backlog list.

New Dawn was interesting but I didn't like the whole RPG vibe of enemy levels.
