  1. I have 3 'tricks' to share:

     

    1. Power/Reset/Power light/HDD light buttons (as my mobo does not have onboard power/reset buttons)

    2. USB 3.0 extension fixed on the side bracket screw hole

    3. AData 3.5'' SSD enclosure (holding two SSDs)

     

    Do you have link to the enclosure and a suggested USB bracket ?

  2. As Matt hinted, lot of boards have different positions for the socket.

     

    Of course the key is to support actual highly use motherboard but the upcoming as well.

     

    There is the survey in the first post to help map this, so if you have the boards, can you take a minute to share the measurement?

     

    We have a solution for the easy and clean cutout that would not be too big. Just need to time it with the correct dimensions.

  3. Hey @marcoliu

    We haven't heard anything regarding holes or threading issues.

    Do you mind sharing more infos on :

    - where you bought it (shop/price)

    - which are the holes with the issue ? The top or the side threading ?

    - if you have pictures or videos about the issue you could share in private

    - the serial number engraved on the table

     

    You can send that over by Private messages to keep anonymity if you prefer.

     

    Have a nice day,

  4. Sad to see it will not happen at PAX but glad to see it happening at Dreamhack.

     

    I will be at PAX anyway and I could arrange a meetup for everyone that already plan to get there and still see each other. (Btw this is not HWBOT Initiative but my personal one)

    @sunset1 event and benchtable are totally separated projects without impacts on each others ;) don't assume things you have no idea about please.

     

    Looking forward to see some of you guys in Montreal.

  5. Hwbot world tour stop relocated at dreamhack Montreal.

     

    I will still be at PAX and will be hosting a panel about Performance PC : the never ending race.

     

    Anyone that already planned on going, let me know here, we could arrange a get together ;)

  6. Would be glad to host the panel :)

     

    I will submit the application.

     

    Note : anyone interested in collaborating / helping out drop me a line/PM :)

  7. In a way I am not surprised to see this thread on the other hand I am sad that it display a lack of understanding of the whole eco-system.

     

    Leaving the league and point discussion aside (not the topic for it)

    - HWBOT gathering event : Friday to Sunday -- You were aware of the dates.

    - Private NDA event - Monday -- NO press where allowed inside. And the reason of the whiteboard outside was to highlight the fact that it was... PRIVATE event -- mainly because the display were still showing the previous event (I talked to the guy at the reception to remove but they didn't)

    * Sorry you felt hurt about the fact you could not get into a third party event you were not invited. (Gathering was over the day before, I don't recall seeing you there :))

     

    - Helium Night : Theses event help the OC eco-system cause way more than was it is visible today but trust me, this is an important step. That was NDA as well for the reason that are now public (new platform).

     

    - Community support : HWBOT (and I am a third party here) organised the Diner and it was a blast, true community spirit.

     

     

    Overall this year was a great but different follow-up to last year event. Which in your own word was replaced by a worthless modding competition (which i don't agree, the format need adjustment) - Where is your thread on Modding forum regarding this feedback? (I would give my POV)

     

     

    There are a few major challenge with some member of the community, be it considering they have to be invited to ANY and EVERYTHING, or get ALL the early access and whatnot.

     

    TL;DR : When you only have a part of the story it is easy to draw conclusions. Sorry but I had a blast this year, even with people I didn't expect and while not being invited to all the private party. :) This is what makes this community what it is : Diverse, competitive, open & dynamic.
