Charged 50 for each, covered building, installing Windows, and installing drivers
>>53625084
Yes, full loop. Got some cosmetic case mods planned too.
>>53625211
ah ok then, Cable management was average, so I was wondering if you were just jewing 13 year olds out of money. $50 is a decent deal for windows and an alright build
>>53625262
blue sata cables and a bit garish
Get a new CPU heatsink
Maybe work on those GPU cables
get a better picture

>>53625941
New is better, I'll give you that.
But it's hard to judge with such glaring reflections on everything. Loses a lot of contrast.
Try to get a better angle to the light source next time.
Rate my 6~7 yo trainwreck, pic related.
i have made some changes need to take new picture.
>>53625626
Currently idle is usually sub 30°C, and after gaming for a few consecutive hours (The Division, Ultra, 3440 X 1440) it'll run the game around 75-80°C.

cable combs man, they cost like £5 for a full set and look great. What CPU cooler did you get?
>>53627974
Just got some cable extensions from nanoxia paid 15E for all of them

le reddit
also removing that msi sticker from the heatsink would de-rice the PC by a huge amount
I've given up on trying to cover the scratches on the sides, obviously this case was not meant to be opened often as the mechanism for opening it inherently scratches it (unless you warp the sides which I'm not about to do)
Oh well, everything else is fine.
sorry for potato quality, i don't have the best lighting
>>53628128
but why would you ever want to de-rice?
I need to redo my fans, get an mATX mobo to run my 280X Toxic Crossfire (it was free lol forgimme) and maybe look into a 240 rad AIO.
It runs so cool and quiet now I can't believe I stayed with ITX for so long ;_;
>>53629246
cool. Would a R9 Nano fit in there?
>>53629271
what is that case?
nice rig though, good choice on the clear pipes/clear liquid. fix the GPU sag though
>>53629352
free 280x?
Nice rig though, no visible colour scheme. that would be an improvement: get a red MoBo
>>53629573
easily
In fact a Titan would, but you would need to get an SFX PSU (I did not plan well, which forced me to get a smaller GPU)
>>53629612
Two free 280X's, they display a thumbprint size area of artifacts in some games but crash in none so they were free, a good hold-me-over for next gen Nvidia.

somewhat modded tj-07. needs a powdercoat on the internals, don't like the bare aluminum, but towards the end I just wanted to get it done.
The sag is not so bad, but the only way to fix it at the moment is to prop it up with a ruler, better solution to come.
monochrome for the win
>>53629757

Needs more mITX.

There are 4 things objectively wrong with this.
i'd like to give you the chance to guess them.
>>53630055
Cable management, do you understand it?
>>53630152
thats 1, only 4 more!
>>53630055
its yellow?
>>53630269
thats not objective, look closely and you can see them.

>>53630034
how did you get your geforce to glow red
>>53629962
It does. Your rig is only really matched by the Break! guy with the noctua/Ncase
>>53630034
hey silver motherboard guy
what CPU cooler is that? looks like one of those M-ITX badgers
>>53630055
Slim-ATX
That case
Cable management
HDD only
>>53630664
Its not a slim ATX
subjective
yes
yes although i didnt count that one
hint 1: examine the drive bays
hint 2: examine the graphics card
>>53630700
It is slim ATX. See how it doesn't cover all the mounts
It's not subjective. it's fucking disgusting. Subjective is women vs men. Thats fucking caitlyn jenner.
Lemme guess: The GPU doesn't fit
>>53630818
oh i see you meant the mobo
Yes! the GPU doesnt fit, i had to hacksaw into the first drive bay to get it to fit in.
can you see how my GPU is held up?
>>53630838
it's fucking sat on the fucking hack-sawed drive bay
Botch central. Thats what happens when you buy a chink case
>>53630929
correct! its also held up with zip ties on the other end.
>>53630055
missing a drive sled?
Putting the drive anywhere but the bottom slot, so you raise the centre of mass?

Yeah, replaced it with the Phanteks.
>>53634452
It was a Razr Maxx, iirc.
I have a G3, now, but it's still pretty shit.
>>53634575
ordered a 212 evo few days ago
airflow isn't an issue for me
most of the cables are ziptied but you can't see it in the pic
everyone memes me for the motherboard so i figured i'd get it out of the way.
>>53634516
specs?
>>53622964
Damn Impressive.
>>53623991
Fan at the bottom, That better not be because you cant access the front. I had mine before like that and it got the dust from the table inside my case.
>>53625057
Consistent Color scheme. Not bad.
>>53625672
Somebody didnt skimp on the LEDs.
>>53625743
I am guessing you watercooled before you found your case to be too small
>>53625941
Could have gotten a 2.5 to 3.5 bracket for that ssd.
>>53627098

>>53635009
very classy. 9/10. can we get a shot of the wiring side?
>>53634516
I have no issue at all with the motherboard being smaller than the case can accomodate. My main problem is the CPU cooler. If you just got a better cooler itd be a 7 easy
>>53635324
i have a 212 evo on the way, i'll update the pic when i get it. but thanks anon
>>53622080
bad hdr photo. my apologeese
>>53635936
I was wondering if people actually bought this case.
>>53635936
>>53636252
what case? looks great. love the rotated mobo
>>53636252
>>53636271
haha I actually did. Might add that I live with 3 dogs 2 cats 3 people and other various pets. no crazy dust problem as everyone warned me
first build ever, pretty happy with it.

>>53636534
>1050w PSU
im so confused
looks great though, especially for a first build. grats.
Waiting for Zen, then I will pull on the trigger on 2xFury-X
>>53636639
Yeah I wasted money on the PSU, shoulda gotten 750, I never really intend on crossfire or anything either. My logic was that if I get something I'll never need to upgrade it'll be better than having to get a new PSU in the future. oh well
>>53636534
PSU is a bit overkill, but excellent job on your first. Cable management is solid and you picked good parts. Rationalize your PSU in that the less percentage of total load you're using, the greater power efficiency you're getting from that 80+ gold rating.
>>53636653
What cards are you running right now?
rate my cable management
>>53636693
I don't see a 1050w as a waste like other people on here. You never know what you're going to do in the future. Your rig might change 2 processors and 3 cards and add 6HDDs or some thing before the PSU dies.
>>53636722

Pls be gentle ;_;
>>53632366
that case is just too big for your build. LEDs are a bit bright as well 8/10
>>53633087
7/10 it's average. Only real improvelemt would be braided cables
>>53633130
the upsidedown CPU cooler triggers me
apart from that very good for babbys first
>>53633456
that mobo cable looks wierd. Also are the braided cables off-colour? The sag on the cables isn't too good looking either
8/10
>>53634044
arty farty shot
7/10 get braided GPU cables, cable combs and fix the bottom spaghetti
>>53634066
old but relatively clean, I like it 7/10
>>53634084
unr8able
>>53634111
Thats nice. Is that the V21? I was looking at getting that case myself, and Now that I seen that I think I should of. 9/10, needs braided cables
>>53634133
4/10, ugly as fuck. This is when hiding-in-plain sight cables go wrong
>>53634153
use the good camera next time. I've already rated these two, and now I really want to get the V21
>>53634201

no colour scheme, gaymer ram
the MoBo extension plug is visible, what are you doing
only the MoBo is braided

Dead flowers and empty cans along with the minimalist approach, I don't see how it can be topped.
>>53641476
Cases are bloat, the dead flowers are for the aesthetic and the beer is to full the void
>>53640263
it isn't exactly small.... what isn't in frame is a quad 120mm radiator across the bottom.

adorable as fuck build and clean runs.
>>53629962
Itx is the best. I cant wait to make an itx build.
>>53643916
Nice workstation, basically no visible cables. What prebuild did you make that from though? it looks like an odd case
>>53643963
It mostly a lenovo m93p SFF. I just picked up the NVS 310 and some cheap gaming ram for it. Been meaning to get 2 more sticks but its not a big deal.
>>53644025
cool. 10gb of ram is wierd though, I'm guessing two 4gb sticks and two 1gb sticks?
>>53644261
Yah I believe it was a 4gb system before and the owner before me decided sector 5 patriot ram was a viable option.
Mine.
>>53644337
Oh cool, you have one of those new Belgium cases
seriously though, the fuck is up with the red paint
and use some cable ties dude
>>53635936
2 questions:
What's the use of a case if it doesn't provide full coverage
How much did you pay for steel beams?
Looks freaking awesome though.
>>53638182
Nice. Make a case for it though
>>53644355
>seriously though, the fuck is up with the red paint
Done that with some old,beyond its expiry date (which was at least a year or two ago) red car spray can. I have to spray blue the rest of the case,but in no way I am covering those stains inside it.
>and use some cable ties dude
Don't have any. I'd have to tidy up my cables using cut up and exposed copper CAT5e wire. The only one I've done properly was a DDR400 P4 machine (on the same CPU socket,except 865PE chipset and AGP (duh) ) but that one came with them already,it was just a matter of repositioning them to my liking.
Look at me I'm a huge faggot
inb4 cable comb for GPU cables
>Implying I don't want GPU dreadlocks

why is the LED strip only on the top bit?
Looking as good as ever. Also fuck that doll man
>>53640263

>>53645874
I dunno, the lighting just looked way better up there than anywhere else I put it. I didn't want the case to be too lit up.

>>53646006
Why so many SSDs
Did you buy a small one and then get more moeny and then buy another small one then get more money and buy another small one
>>53646058
From top to bottom was the ssd's I bought. 120gb, 250gb, 500gb.
The 120gb I bought when ssds were like $0.90 per GB. The 250gb I got for $150.
Then bought the 500gb for $170. When 1TB/2TB ssds come down in to the $200 range, I'll probably replace them. Maybe not. who knows.
>>53646006
cool. Why such small fans on the Heatsink though?
>>53646093
>>53646006
I want to get another SSD just for muh gaymes but I was wondering if two WD blacks in Raid would be more reliable?
>>53646180
They look small because of how large the tower sinks are. Cooler is a ThermalTake Frio Extreme. Comes with 2x140mm fans but they have 120mm mounting holes. The fans were loud and inefficient. The fans are now 120mm Cooler Master Silencio PWM.
Thinking of buying a Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3, or Noctua NH-D15 because the way the fans attach to the sink use metal clips that sit inside the heatsink themselves. Fans occasionally make vibrating noise because they rattle against the metal.
>>53646203
Assuming you're using Windows 7 to form the RAID 0? It should be reliable but there is always the chance the array may crash, you'll lose everything, and have to re-install. Even with 2 7,200rpm drives in RAID 0 are hard pressed to catch up to an SSD for load times.
If money is an issue, 2 mech drives in RAID 0 will offer more space in and decent speed for the price. Otherwise get an ssd.
>>53646269
That makes sense. Noctua is really nice but poo fans, Be Quiet is nice but a tad over priced
