I've watched tons of reviews on this and still can't really find what I'm looking for. I want a light case that preserves the slim and lightweight nature of this phone to the degree possible, but still provide a small lip around the screen to protect against drops.

I have the official Apple clear case and it's decent, but I'm wondering if there's something even thinner and lighter. Exposed buttons and camera protection would be a nice bonus, but not required. Most of the reviews I'm seeing about the thinnest cases say that there's not enough of a lip around the screen to protect it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

There are a bunch of useful built-in cron scripts like zfs and smart monitoring, for example. I can't find any way to get emails when they fail like you can with a normal command line cron implementation. Typically the mail goes to the local root account by default, and if you configure local root to forward to an external address you can get notified if something is wrong.

Now of course there is monit, but the built-in health checks are all in the Cron section. Trying to avoid writing a big custom script if anyone has any ideas.

Anyone get this no matter how many times you start a game? I've got a 9070XT. Not sure if SteamOS will download precompiled shaders for this card like it does for the Steam Deck, but even if I let it get to 100% it still prompts me the next time I start the game and spins up my CPU fans something fierce.

Got a couple of questions that aren't super easy to find in the marketing materials:

• Can I stream games from the Steam Deck to the headset? The use case would be during travel. Or is this even necessary if the built in Snapdragon hardware in the Frame is comparable to the Deck?
• Can the controllers be used as standalone conventional non-VR controllers connected to the Deck or other Steam systems? My use case here is to have a nice set of split controllers for when gaming on a treadmill. The market for split controllers is pretty small with most of them focused on Nintendo Switch.

I want to my my system as quiet as possible. When it's on I can hear the low whooshing sound of the case fans, and when I run a game things start to spool up and it's annoying. I'd also like to leave the system on when I'm not gaming for some AI workloads for some rare but bursty GPU usage.

Specs:

• Intel® Core™ i9-12900K Processor
• GIGABYTE Z390 Gaming SLI
• MSI GeForce RTX 3090 GAMING X TRIO 24G Graphics Card
• be Quiet Dark Base 701 w/ 3 pre-installed Silent Wings 4 140mm
• Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler
• PC Power and Cooling Silencer 1050W PSU

In the current configuration I've got the case fans plugged into the Dark Base 701 fan bus controller:

>Dark Base 701 Black features a combined PWM and ARGB hub for up to 8 PWM fans and 2 additional ARGB devices. This PCB is located behind the motherboard tray and connects to the front I/O panel’s fan and ARGB controllers. The pre-installed fans are connected to the fan hub by default

Best I can tell this doesn't interface with the motherboard at all, so I can't use software to control fan curves for the case fans. Sounds like I should stop using the case fan controller and use the 4 4-pin PWM headers on my motherboard:

• 1 x water cooling CPU fan header
• 2 x system fan headers
• 1 x system fan/water cooling pump header

My initial thought is to replace all the stock case fans with Noctua NF-A14 PWM fans. And from there I have to decide how many to get and where to put them. The case supports the following:

• Top (mm)3x 140 / 3x 120
• Front (mm)3x 140 / 3x 120
• Rear (mm)1x 140 / 1x 120
• Bottom (mm)1x 140 / 1x 120

Looking for suggestions, thanks.
