Re: Case Pictures
LOL yeah, that's cutting it close, those Fractal cases seem to be on the small side. I see you have one of those pain in the hemorrhoids PSU enclosures on that case too. I've seen some boohoo pictures of people that bought big humfucker Nvidia cards only to find they won't go in their cases. Looks n...

Re: EVGA - Great Customer Service
I've heard good things about them too regarding their customer service. However, that's exceptionally nice of them and especially in this day and age where companies don't care. You're kind of screwed if you lose modular PSU cables, testing luck with other cables with connectors that may fit can lea...

Re: Fractal Focus case and Motherboards
Well this one never got a chance to have the i/o shield snapped on, as the board was too narrow and the ioport area of the board was about 3/8 inch or so inside the case. There wasn't any other way to mount it, the board could only go in the mounting tray one way and all screws lined up. So, either ...

Re: Fractal Focus case and Motherboards
Hey, wait a minute now:
Did YOUR motherboard fit in the case properly? (might not be the exact, exact same Fractal Focus case design, even if the model and name are the same)and the other one currently has the same Intel based MSI board as you have (I'm now using that while working)

Re: Fractal Focus case and Motherboards
Yes, my red Fractal case has the alignment post.
Thanks for all that info, it actually needs not be Intel hardware. I wouldn't risk an AMD system for myself (very unforgiving, fussier on RAM etc.) but she's not any kind of a power user and we'd save a shit tonne of money.

Re: Need to use display compositor
It's enabled by default in XFCE, I had disabled it. It's a real compositor now I think, in my old XFCE 4.12.0 (on my LFS) I think it's just software rendering for some transparency effects and menu animations etc.

Don't try another card unless it's happening again, but that's almost current stable (24.0.5 is) It could also be an issue with your display compositor.

OK, now... the reason your message is different (and possibly more hurty) than mine. Well, two reasons actually, but related here.
