Completed Hyte Y70 Touch Custom WC

Yeah, no complaints other than the audio ports + single X4 PCIe slot that I referred to earlier. The only other oddity is the lack of fan data in hardware monitor software but I suspect that's a chipset issue as opposed to something specific to this particular board.

If anything the active +2 gen 4 nvme drive slots over an above the primary gen 5 seems to be better than most.

The HWinfo app through ASUS appears to be doing the trick and allows for a configurable widget populated on the Hyte's screen.

I did weigh it, but unfortunately didn't update the thread with the weight and now I don't remember what it was. I'll try to remember to get a total weight now that the full build is finalized.

According to the bathroom scale it's 54.5 lbs.

There's been an update to the touch screen software. Seems to be finally pulling temp and load data from the cpu, gpu, mem, and storage so that the hardware monitor widget can be configured for the board.

That's what you're paying a $200+ premium on when compared to a similarly designed "aquarium" case that doesn't come with an integrated touch screen.

Is it worth the extra bucks? Probably not, but like RGB it's an aesthetic choice that's not gonna improve your FPS, but might tickle your bling receptors.

I guess I'm "weird" for preferring my stream decks? Each button is a mini screen, Hwinfo page, VLC page, a page for every game or app I could ever need buttons for... I'm not sure I'd get much use from a case screen like this. Stream deck is directly below my screen and above my keyboard, the eyes easily fall to it and can move back up, as needed. Is it really awkward to move your head side to side (especially to see "past" an ultra wide monitor, if you have one)? I think my old ass neck hurts just thinking about it haha
