@coliver I've built a couple systems with NZXT cases now, and really really like them. They're large, but the internal space is amazing to have compared to the cases I've used in the past.
What about the quality? Thin metal? Sharp corners?
Rolled edges or edges deburred all the way around, no splinters or cut fingers. Metal is a little thin for the size of the cases I've worked with, but they also almost always have thick plexiglass windows on one side of the case, and the opposite side of the case is sturdy. The interiors have always been painted (their mid-range generally), and even with the side panels off are solidly built. No bending from exerting a little to much force. I really like the additional internal fan mount to provide better airflow across the graphics card(s) and top of the power supply as well.
Thanks, but I've got really enough "Windows" running on the machine, don't need any in my case
Would prefer sound dampening foam instead. -

Would prefer sound dampening foam instead.lol. I see what you did there
I guess it gets a bit cold there to use liquid cooling.
The foam would just cook it
Silent fans? -

My current PC uses a self-build watercooled system (with a quality ceramic pump from my former aquarium and a Tupperware bottle as a coolant expansion reservoir). I guess I got a little experience here. But I don't see any benefit for the new system in going watercooled.
So yes, would use ultra silent Papst fans (industrial quality).

Just got back to the hotel. Closed down Touche with @rob.

I'll have to try them again. Last time I built with them the quality was very poor. Metal was too thin and many of the threaded holes were in the wrong spot by a cm or more. Makes it hard to line up components. For cheap cases I've been doing a lot of Rosewill. Cheap but the quality is good enough for what they are.

Problems? Or do you now have to wait on a rebuild?

From the bit I've used it this is really the extent of it. There is some additional nuances but if you get these commands down LVM is much easier.

Ok I get
pvcreate: Command not permitted while global/metadata_read_only is set. -
I'm on XenServer 7.. I think I need to use a xe vdi-create command to create the volume first.. then I can mount that as LVM through another xe command.
