1. Well, not the 2.5 inch ones... no.

2. Yeah, they do need some kind of class for 1st time smart phone buyers. They also need a lot less crap ON the smart phones.



What I want in a smart phone:

a. answer and hang up icons.
b. contacts icon.
c. browser icon.
d. camera and stored media icons.
e. settings icon.

That's about it for me. I really don't need anything else on the front screen. I realize you can set them up that way, but I'd rather they came, set up that way, with all the other crap buried in the settings.


OnePlus phones are the simplest smart phones out there. No phone comes with less than what the average user wants/needs.

You still have to customize your OS install don't you? Same thing.
Also, the OnePlus 6T ((what I have) is on sale for like $300

Well the new Hyper 212 EVO arrived today, so I have everything except the mobo. It's already arrived at the nearest major UPS depot, so that's good.

Funny part is I didn't really need a whole new Hyper 212 EVO, I just needed the AM4 bracket, which is sold separately. Only problem is that I can't find one anywhere in the US. Even the manufacturer was out of them.
I did mange to find one in Australia at MWave, but I figured it was just easier to get a whole new cooler.

I finally called Cooler Master and asked them, when they would have more brackets in stock, and they said 1-2 months. They also told me that they didn't know for sure if the Hyper 212's from the etailers all had the AM4 bracket.
They said that if they had lots of Hyper 212's sitting in a warehouse or something, it may or may not have the new bracket.

I asked them if the 3rd party etailer on Amazon would have the new Hyper 212's and they asked the name of the company. I told them CMI Tech... which turned out to BE Cooler Master. :)

Cooler Master ATCS-840 case. Has 6x 3.5" screwless HDD trays. Ofc my new Samsung 860 EVO doesn't fit. SO... I drilled two teeny holes (as shown in pic 3, by the RED dots) and used two teeny screws from my extra screw bag to attach it.

And... the motherboard finally arrived. So now I have everything. The Mobo, CPU, RAM, SSD and CPU cooler.











I figure I'll start tomorrow. My case needs a serious cleaning before the new parts go in, and it's raining outside. I also have a coupon code for CableMod Custom cable products if anyone wants it, just PM me.


/e Btw, you can see the 2.5" SSD mod I made on the standard 3.5" HDD tray. (lower left of pic).

Could be done already
You get the coupon with certain product?

Coupon came with motherboard.

/e Wasn't from the etailer... came INSIDE the motherboard box, NOT the shipping box.

Was kind of weird too. Here's the link to the rules... and MY motherboard is not on the list.
