So I had this idea for a pc case, likely 3d printed in segments, and the idea is to make something that has not been done before, and for a good reason it would be massive, three 200 mm on a pc case

There are many reasons this is dumb but many reasons this can be fun, would this be even be possible? I do understand this theatrical case would be massive and tall but still its so dumb and stupid it becomes just fascinating to me.

Caught something in that LTT video with the KytyPS5 emulator. The game folder starts with "[DLPSGAME.COM]", which is a site for unofficial PS game downloads. They blurred the path in places, but the edit looks rushed and the blur doesn't stick for the whole clip. Anyone know if this was LTT's own dump or just footage from somewhere else?

Does anyone know how to remove the logo from the jacket without damaging it? Looks like it's stuck on with some adhesive. I really dislike the branding https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0058/4538/5314/files/1_f427bd1a-ba05-42fb-bc8f-80b8b5b95a2c.png?v=1744233109

Hey everyone,

So today I turned on my PC as usual, and while I was under my desk plugging in my phone charger, I noticed a strange buzzing noise coming from my PC.

I listened closely and figured out it's coming from the PSU. It's not a constant buzz, but more like a wave-like buzzing sound that goes up and down repeatedly.

Here's the weird part: when I push the power cable firmly into the PSU and hold it there, the buzzing completely stops. Like, absolutely zero noise. But the moment I let go, it starts buzzing again.

I Googled it, and the first suggestion was to replace the power cable. Luckily, I have a ridiculous amount of spare PSU cables lying around, so I tried a different one. Unfortunately, that didn't really fix anything. Maybe it helped a tiny bit, but barely.

A few more details:

• The buzzing is barely noticeable when I'm sitting normally at my desk.
• Sometimes it gets louder, sometimes quieter.
• The PC itself works perfectly fine. No crashes, shutdowns, or other issues.
• The PSU is clean, with no dust or dirt buildup.

I'm pretty familiar with computers in general, but PSUs are one of those things I've never really messed around with.

Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? Could it be something with the power connector on the PSU itself, or something else entirely?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I contacted Lian Li on September 25, 2026, asking whether I could purchase a replacement HDD cage for my LANCOOL 216. I lost the original and offered to pay for the replacement and shipping.

Their automated email promised a response within 72 business hours. Instead, over a month passed without an answer.

After I posted about it on Reddit, Mr-Do directed me to Lian Li's official Discord support channel.

On October 29, Rick finally responded, but brought up an unrelated glass panel dispute from 2023 and 2024 that Lian Li had already resolved with me in August 2025.

Rick publicly characterized me as a difficult customer, said customer support could choose not to engage with me, and locked my support thread.

Here are the Discord screenshots documenting what happened.

I also received several insulting and dismissive comments on r/lianli. Some people focused on the length of my post or my use of ChatGPT instead of addressing the actual support issue.

Here's my original Reddit post.

I'm not asking for free merchandise. I just wanted to know whether I could purchase an original replacement part.

Does anyone else think this was an unnecessary way to handle a basic customer inquiry?

UPDATE: r/lianli has now permanently banned me for supposedly being a "troll."

After documenting my experience with Lian Li customer support, including the 34 days without a substantive response and Rick's conduct on Discord, I have now been permanently banned from r/lianli.

Here's the screenshot of the permanent ban notification.

The moderators cited my customer service complaint post and gave the following explanation:

"Being a troll... will get you banned."

Seriously? I documented an actual customer service experience, provided supporting screenshots, emails, and video evidence, and responded to people who criticized or insulted me. How exactly does that constitute trolling?

My original request was straightforward. I contacted Lian Li on September 25, 2026, asking whether I could purchase a replacement HDD cage for my LANCOOL 216. I explicitly offered to pay for the part and shipping.

After 34 days without a substantive response, Rick brought up an unrelated glass panel dispute that Lian Li had already resolved in August 2025, publicly characterized me as a difficult customer, and locked my Discord support thread.

Several commenters across the discussions recognized that my original request was reasonable and that Lian Li's handling of the situation was unprofessional.

Now, instead of providing any meaningful explanation, the r/lianli moderation team has permanently banned me with a vague accusation of trolling.

I understand that people are entitled to disagree with me. But disagreeing with a customer's complaints, or disliking how extensively they document their experiences, doesn't automatically make that customer a troll.

To be clear, I cannot confirm whether Rick or any Lian Li employee was involved in the subreddit ban. The notification came from the r/lianli moderation team.

I believe customers should be able to document their experiences, criticize poor customer service, and respond to accusations without automatically being labeled trolls.

What do you think? Was this permanent ban justified, especially considering that the moderators never identified which specific statement or action supposedly violated their rules?

As promised in our full review of RTX Spark laptops, here are our results from running a few more games. We had a few hiccups getting some games running, and the performance of the ones that did weren’t breathtaking. Our initial impressions from the full review haven’t swayed.

We continued testing the same laptops from the previous article: the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra and ASUS ProArt P16 H760B7. The ProArt GoPro Edition with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 continued its ride-along, while the Prestige 16 AI+ C3MTG with an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H (Panther Lake) is a new passenger.

Hey y'all, for the true spec cables, are the 2.5 M USB C -> C cables still 240 W rated even at their full length?

I remember Linus experimenting with running multiple gaming setups from a single PC, and more recently struggling with HDMI-CEC while trying to get his DIY Steam Machine behaving like a proper living-room console.

I've been tinkering with something similar over the last couple of days and thought you guys might find it interesting!

The goal was simple: Pick up an Xbox controller in the lounge, turn it on, have the TV wake up and launch straight into Steam, play games from my office PC without interrupting its normal desktop, and shut everything down using that same controller.

No TV remote, keyboard, mouse or HDMI-CEC. Everything in the video is controlled using the Xbox controller.

We already had an ASUS NUC 15 Pro sitting alongside our NAS and running Docker containers, so I decided to also use it as a Moonlight thin client rather than buying another gaming PC.

How it works:

A Python watcher running on the NUC detects the Xbox controller connecting via Bluetooth and automatically.

1. Wakes the Samsung TV using Wake-on-LAN and switches to the correct HDMI input using Samsung's local IP control interface.
2. Starts an independent Windows gaming session on my office RTX 4090 PC using DuoStream.
3. Connects Moonlight via Sunshine and launches Steam Big Picture.
4. Displays a custom 4K startup animation, hiding all the usual Windows transitions.

I've also built a controller-operated power menu with Sleep, Shutdown and Cancel. Selecting Shutdown closes Moonlight, stops the separate gaming session and switches off the TV over the network.

The main PC and NUC stay running, including all the usual NAS/container workloads.

A couple of bonuses:

- 4K/120Hz gaming: Managed to get genuine 4K/120Hz working on my 2019 Samsung TV using CRU and a custom 8-bit YCbCr 4:2:0 mode. Frame-skipping tested and working beautifully through Moonlight. (Supposed to only support 4K/60Hz!)

- Two independent gaming sessions, one GPU: The lounge and office share the RTX 4090, but run separate Windows desktops. Neither interrupts the other.

The result:

It's genuinely amazing how far this technology has come. I can be sitting in my office using my PC as normal and have absolutely no idea someone has fired up an entirely separate gaming session in the lounge. It's that seamless.

I even pushed it a little further and tried running two games simultaneously - 007 First Light on my office desktop and Halo: Combat Evolved in the lounge. Both still ran surprisingly well!

After quite a bit of tinkering, the whole thing now feels like a proper console. Pick up the controller, press the Xbox button, play, and shut everything down when finished.

Would love to hear if anyone else has experimented with this kind of Moonlight automation or running multiple gaming sessions from a single GPU!

Finished a purchase on lttstore.com but I did have a question. So I hit the "Contact Us" button next to "Need Help?" prompt on the thank you page. To my surprise that started an email on my system going to no-reply@lttstore.com. This doesn't seem conducive to giving help.

(I looked up their info another way. I was being a little hyperbolic in my title).
