Nice KAC, even if it is a mess

[KAC]

Well, it was 9 pm and I was in a hurry. I think it is fine. He used zip ties.

[Meteor_of_War]

Nice case.

You can definitely get more of the PSU cables routed behind the motherboard tray which will help airflow.

Take a look at mine for comparison:

[Kain]

Since we are showing the insides of our PCs, here is a pic from January 2012 when I first put together my latest PC. It is missing some parts like RAM and stuff but most of it is in there. It also has my old graphics card which was a GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores.

[KAC]

Yes, I haven't done any cabling this time. I will spend some time with it tomorrow night or morning and update with new pictures. As I said, it was very late in the night and I had to sleep early to wake up at 3 30 AM to fast.

Also dafuq? Everyone has this case or wha?

Welcome to the party pal

[mullet]

Nice Rigs fellas, clean job.

[Meteor_of_War]

Also dafuq? Everyone has this case or wha?

Hehe, yeah its a popular case. Mainly because its so awesome.

[CurrentlyPissed]

It is a very nice case for the price.

The Carbide Air 540 will be the new king though. It's impressive what that case offers for how little they are asking.

Yeah, all of you noobs have the same case.

[demo]

Yeah, all of you noobs have the same case.

Yeah I'm tempted to get a new one now. If hapy gets a 650D I will 100% get a new case!

[Maverick123w]

The 650D is a great case but it's too expensive for what you get. Went to microcenter to get one a while back and ended up leaving with the Fractal R4 and I've never looked back.

Full price maybe. But I've seen it as low as ~$125. At that price I'd give it the edge.

[KAC]

I bought it for 170. Think it was worth it. Only thing I miss is the case reporting ambient tempratures like my Zalman Z9 Plus.

[Meteor_of_War]

I think I paid $180 for mine last year. So yeah, a little on the expensive side for what it is.

But it is a really well designed chassis. I just wish there was a bit more room for cable management behind the motherboard. I actually have a slight bulge in the side panel.

[KAC]

That is why I didn't request the guy to add more cabling to the back. It will create the bulge. I wanted to reshuffle my PCI e cables to the back but there is literally no spacing which surprisingly wasn't the case with my Z9.

[demo]

I have a bulge too, but my PC lives under the desk tucked away where I cant see it so it doesnt bother me.

[Meteor_of_War]

I have a bulge too

Seriously though, it is the reason I haven't fixed it yet. Its under my desk out of sight and out of mind.

[demo]

bulging under my desk right now

[Meteor_of_War]

If I had your computer I'd probably have a constant erection too.

...Which is quite sad.

Points and laughs. "Haha" /simpsons

I can hardly get the side door on every case that I've ever owned.

New U2711 monitor.

[KAC]

Dat woofer for testicle sound wave therapy?

[Paul2mith]

just so you know take that Tt cover off your CPU Fan and you'll lower your temps by 4-5 C.

[Dave]

damnit mullet, put your system specs in your user control panel

[shadow001]

Yeah, all of you noobs have the same case.

Not me....:P

[demo]

Is that an old washing machine?

[shadow001]

Is that an old washing machine?

Nope, just acase that fits absolutely everything possible, no matter how crazy the setup is and it's good to last years for any future upgrades....


Only case labs THX10 or mountain mods extended ascension can clain to be able to do the same...The rest fall way short.

[demo]

I have a case that fits even more. A fridge. It's craaaaaaazy.

[CurrentlyPissed]

The new Corsair Carbide Air 540. Case is pretty neat overall, but not without it's sacrifices. I couldn't fit my XSPC RX360 Radiator up front with the Titan. So I had to opt to move to a RX240 up top.

Also going to a larger hose size forced me to remove some ramsticks. Guess I will be purchasing a larger 2 stick set.

[Dave]

Is that hard drive just lying there? I thought it was best to go with black tubing for water cooling to prevent photosynthesis.

[CurrentlyPissed]

Is that hard drive just lying there? I thought it was best to go with black tubing for water cooling to prevent photosynthesis.

Yes, it is. Well it's secured, but just laying on the PSU. There are only two 3.5" drives in the front and used them for the SSDs. Im probably going to just remove it since.. I never use it. And any of the color tubing will limit photosynthesis. Either way I use drops and clean the lines/replace typically every 3 months.

[KAC]

I am glad I didn't go for this case. I don't like it at all since it feels cramped. Also I needed many more drive bays (currently have 5 drives hooked up).

Really? Just two 3.5" bays? If so that's unfortunate. I'm really not fond of cube cases but when I see that one it just screams "FILE SERVER!" Would like to build one around that but if it only fits two 3.5" drive... what about 5.25", does it have plenty of those? Could always get adapters to fit HDDs in there I suppose...

Well it does have storage for 4 SSDs in the back (where I have the other HD., there is a rack for them. But I removed it because I preferred them to be up front. I'm not one of much space. I tend to delete things. I cant stand clutter or holding on to things. I've never had more than 500GB on any given hard drive.

So you could put two regular HDs up front, and 4 SSDs in back. But like I said, for me, even that's overkill. I could never imagine needing that much space.

[demo]

Nice build CP, compact and neat

Cramped? There is more space in this case than the 800D, or Phantom 820 I had. In terms of overall space.
