so with a case that'd be 8 minimum that'd be plenty for me.Quote:

PSP Go battery and thumb stick arrived so I installed them, console is on a charger atm. One thing I forgot about this is that the phone socket had been removed too (it has a ribbon cable similar to the thumb stick), but I don't need it anyway :yawn:
I meant the flight sim as I assumed you use a flight stick that possibly uses more than one usb for power.Quote:

It appears to be on 6.60 and has some stuff on internal memory...
AC Bloodlines
Killzone Liberation

Homebrew Store
A Space Shooter For 2 Bucks
Zenonia
Syphon Filter 3
Shift Extended
Angry Birds
And what appears to be Pro Quake 4.70 (32mb)
Yeah new thumb stick works ok.
Volume controls and screen brightness buttons work.
Things I still need to test:
Wireless
Bluetooth
USB transfer (charging works ok)
m2 card slot
The screen glass/plastic lens has a deep scratch on it (it isn't the actual screen though) just up the top right side about 1/2 inch long and it's a bit annoying.
I'll have to look at some options at some point I guess...
oh ok.Quote:

The H21 has better cable management and bays for hdd/sdds and cd/dvds but only has 2 front usb ports and no vented side cover but does have dust filters.
I'm really leaning towards the H21. Shard do you know what size the cpu cooler was offhand?
It's all single USB per peripheral for what I have. The number can quickly add up depending on what you're doing and how many peripherals you've got.Quote:

I prefer more ventilation and I'd probably opt for the V100. It won't make a difference upfront unless you have 120/140mm fans lying around. You could always drill the other case and add your own fan mounts but I don't think it would be worth the trouble.Quote:

I think I'll wait and see if newegg does a 4th of july sale to see if I can get something better cheaper. I do like the drive trays in the H21 and no I don't have any extra fans laying around.Quote:

I'm not a fan of the color but, Fractal is a decent brand by all accounts :shrug:.
that's not bad. currently that's out of my price range(after shipping and tax) but I will keep an eye on it.Quote:

NZXT

Thermaltake
Decent chance of a rebate or sale from any of them. I'd also include Rosewill but, they seem to have done away with their practical designs.
I've heard of coolermaster before, years ago they had nice budget cases and I remember rosewill being similar. I didn't know corsair did cases I thought they only did hardware.Quote:

*weeb noises*
Been watching Garden of Sinners today.
They're all expensive now. Quality is probably still fine, but there's nothing I'd buy.Quote:

this one https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E1681112...82E16811129274
and this one https://www.newegg.com/midnight-blac...9SIBN5HJWB7755
also still considering the TT H21 or the fractal G mystic.
ebay stepped in over the keyboard issue. their solution return it for a refund, now there is 3 things wrong with that 1 I don't own or have access to a printer 2 I don't have a box big enough for it
and 3 I shouldn't have to return it for a refund when it was the sellers fault that it arrived broken. this is the second time I can remember ebay screwing me like this. this really sucks I was looking forward to getting it and learning to play it.
well lesson learned and applied don't take a chance on unbranded chinese crap unless it's $10 or less.
You dl the return label from ebay and go to office supplies shop (or even the post office should be able to do this) and print the label onto plain paper for cheap, like pocket change.
Use the original packaging, how it was sent to you.
Use packing tape to tape the label and the package up again.
Take a picture just before you tape it up (kb half hanging out of packaging with label) and also another pic when closed up ready to go.
Send it off, best to do it at the actual post office so you have evidence.
The PO may be willing to tape it up for you too, if it's going through them.
They really have to do this though. Not saying you are but buyers do lie so it's best to require a full return. When I was still selling a lot on eBay I found that many "problems" went away when I said return for a full refund or nothing. A lot of people out there trying to do the partial refund game just to get something cheaper. :wacko:Quote:

Won't be a great tape job, but generally they will, yes.Quote:
