I tried out a new type of case

That's amazing looking though. I want to get an AiO cooler like that at some point. And then I will be happy for a long time. It would seem like I can sell my cooler for a pretty penny now so who knows.

Thank you. Tried to go for the minimalistic look! Get one, really worth it. So much tidier and effective

I like minimalistic as well. Don't like flashy cases. Even though this one is very different, it's still quite plain in looks. Form is perhaps a different thing :P. What case is that? It looks like a lian li...

NZXT S340. Lian li cases are awesome! just sooo expensive wow!
 
Looks good :)

If I want to get a cpu heatsink sparkling clean I take it off the motherboard then dip it in degreaser for around 10 minutes and rinse it off under hot water after.

Always 100% clean after that.

Not to mention the fact that a lot of those chassis come with motherboard trays. How fantastic is it to just install your motherboard onto a tray that slides into the case. No struggling with space or anything.

That really is amazing!

Can't even count how many times I have had to take the whole mobo and PC apart because I want to fit something else, or forgot something and need to take out the whole mobo to do that. So that means the gpu and all has to come out as well! So that really is an amazing feature !
 
It is big and yet it looks pretty somehow. I notice the Logitech F710 game controller there - I have two but not quite getting the force feedback to work.
Is yours working fine?

Exactly! They also have interesting cases like the following which sort of works the same way:

And you can see it's a quality case.

That's a good question. I've had the controller for about 5 months now. It's the first time I've ever bought a controller and growing up only using computers has made me ignorant of controllers. So in any case, I've had it for 5 months like I said but have only really spent a total time on it of about 1 hour. So uh... not much help here. The force feedback does seem to work in dirt3. If that helps?

Thanks. At least there is a game it works on for you. Hmmm...Perhaps I am doing something wrong.

Are you using the latest drivers and software for it? Are you running the games through a platform like steam or on it's own? Which OS are you using? Is your security settings within Windows set up correctly so that it doesn't block certain commands from devices?

I have Win 7 64-bit and Windows 8.1 that I recently upgraded to Win 10 (So haven't tried it on there yet) Everything is up to date ect. It is not that there is no vibration - just faint. Playing racing games like Most Wanted 2005 and Track Mania - setting within Windws not blocking commands...-which settings would that be?

Only really relates to Windows 10 as I am on that. So I guess you shouldn't worry about it too much then.

If it's faint... then maybe the internet can help out with finding a solution.
