Had a :flabbynsick: moment yesterday, was looking up cases before I ordered my new one, realized 99% of the new cases don't have a slot for internal dvd/bd drive. Last case I bought was from 2021, it has a slot for my internal blu-ray writer. With the new case, if I want to use the writer, I would have to buy an external drive enclosure for $60. Still got a crapload of blu-ray and cd blanks around here too.

Fractal Design and Thermaltake are the only two that still sell case with an slot for internal dvd/br drive.

Playing games on a regular gaming keyboard is just too uncomfortable.

Looking at replacing my Dell 49" 5K monitor with LG's new 45" 5K OLED monitor. Been rocking with the Dell since 2019, it's only 5120 x 1440 resolution at 60hz, been fine for my photo and video editing work. The new LG is an actual 5120 x 2160 at 165hz. I want 2 of them stacked ontop of each other to run at 120hz at 5K resolution.

Lian Li o11 Air Mini case got me impressed, fit and finish is top notch, I know I'm 2-3yrs late to game on this. Damn near 4" shorter in height and depth from my Silencio S600 case. Smart design with removable HDD trays that you just take a small panel off to get to. Vertical support bracket on the back that can also hold 2 SSD's along with covering up PSU cables. ATX psu and motherboard support. A ton of fan placement areas for 120 and 140mm. Got my photo/video editing pc looking and cooling right, just ordered the white one for my gaming pc.

If anyone is looking for pc cases, I have 2 CoolerMaster Silencio S600's in black I'm looking to part with for cheap.
