Show Us Your Rig [5]

I was lucky. My card reader fit the adapter perfectly and the adapter fit the machine perfectly.

Ganjiry, your solution looks much better than any stock adapter would have looked since the mesh matches the other covers still in place. Nice clean Dremel work!

Kbrady1979, it's amazing how well your adapter and optical drive match up. None of my stuff matches as well (at least all three are black).

Thanks! I'm a fussy git lol it was either make it look similar or not have it and with my mom nagging me to move photo's from her cam to disc all the time a card reader is a must :p

C'mon man you know if you could ban the sale of those large cases you would :D
I would never go so far as to say they should be banned. However, I think there is an unrational desire out there for those who want super powerful computers to equate the size of the case to the power and performance contained within. For others, they really do want to install 15 hard drives and run 24 case fans. However, for many people, we won't ever venture anywhere near that far. A slightly smaller case that can be more easily moved around and tucked out of site can often be advantageous and doesn't necessarily make the computer less powerful or impressive looking. I don't want anybody to think that they simply cannot build their own powerful computer simply because they don't have the physical space to store a jumbo sized case.

Sorry just now seeing this post.

Anyway as one who still has his Antec P182 case, and love it, it's still too small for my then growing system. And no, I don't have 10 hard drives and hundreds of fans, rather the stock case fans, 3 hard drives; two of which are SSD and one 2TB drive. However, I like my system to have breathing room. This is where my Coolermaster HAF X came in. It's a bit too big for your liking, but if I could, I'd have you try it out for a week or two :D

I did a similar thing with my card reader, Only i chopped up 1 of the drive bay covers and a drive bay converter with a Dremmel. the face of the bay converter needed sanding down to size a fair bit to fit the mesh over it. I didn't quite get it straight though.
Hey you could finish that off real nice with some of that fish tank air tubing slitting it carefully down the centre and then placing it around the mesh opening but hey nice fix.

Now I love my HAF XM stacks of room is actually is wider and deeper than the HAF X which surprised me without that height ;)

...And it carried on while trying to get it out of the box. I had to lean it against the side of my bed and pull the case out sideways.

I always laid big boxes like that on their sides, opened the bottom and folded the flaps out of the way, tipped the box back up, then pulled the box off the product inside. I find that much easier than wrestling with whatever is inside.

That is a nice looking rig with plenty of room for airflow and future expansion.
You could also keep gerbils in there. ;)

Yeah, give 'em an exercise wheel and hook it to a cooling fan, save on electricity! LOL

Who knows, maybe we're really onto something with that gerbil wheel! :roflmao:
Lady Fitz you and I thought of it and A Guy is building them. Three way split is good for me! LOL

Are Hamsters faster than gerbils?
Just wondered for the heavy duty gamers. :D

I don't how fast hamsters are but the gerbils my kids had could run like greased lightning. One got loose once and, when we would spot him, he would manage to find a hidey hole before we could catch up to him. After a week, I was getting ready to leave for work and spotted him in the kitchen. I literally made a flying leap and managed to grab his tail before the little bugger could finish disappearing through a crack between the counter bottom and the toe kick. I was tempted to give him to my German Shepherd but I would have had to bury my kids so he got a reprieve and a unceremonial dump back into his cage.

View attachment 263821

Well looking at your pic the X does look bigger than the XM and I don't really want to get into semantics but the dimensions quoted by Coolermaster are

X = W230mm H599mm D 550mm

XM = W252mm H530mm D579mm

I think the X looks bigger because of the height which really isn't an issue for me I like the depth and width for internal space.

I don't know but the Coolermasters have it all over the others for me.

I know that looks bigger in the pic but is the X an older model perhaps?

One got loose once and, when we would spot him, he would manage to find a hidey hole before we could catch up to him. After a week, I was getting ready to leave for work and spotted him in the kitchen. I literally made a flying leap and managed to grab his tail before the little bugger could finish disappearing through a crack between the counter bottom and the toe kick. I was tempted to give him to my German Shepherd but I would have had to bury my kids so he got a reprieve and a unceremonial dump back into his cage.


Now thats funny!!!! LOLOL

I did a similar thing with my card reader, Only i chopped up 1 of the drive bay covers and a drive bay converter with a Dremmel. the face of the bay converter needed sanding down to size a fair bit to fit the mesh over it. I didn't quite get it straight though.
Hey you could finish that off real nice with some of that fish tank air tubing slitting it carefully down the centre and then placing it around the mesh opening but hey nice fix.
Thats a pretty good idea that, Cheers!
I think i've done all i'm going to with this rig now, well in this case anyway. I need to start saving for a new case(600T Black) It's not much bigger than what i have now internally but has a tonne more space behind the mobo tray and i prefer the fan layout.
Speaking of fans, I replaced the stock 200mm fan on my side panel for a Bitfenix Spectre Pro and what a fan it is. I have it runing at a constant 70% and it moves loads of air. Quietly too.

Who knows, maybe we're really onto something with that gerbil wheel! :roflmao:
Lady Fitz you and I thought of it and A Guy is building them. Three way split is good for me! LOL

Are Hamsters faster than gerbils?
Just wondered for the heavy duty gamers. :D
Heavy duty gamers can put in a ferrett to chase the little errr b...... s:cool:


Hey this just keeps getting better!! That'll work! LOLOL

UhOh, now we gotta give ICIT2LOL a cut of the profits! ;)
Well I only said ferretts cos originally I thought of small rocket packs in their backs thought no too expensive and you would have to refuel them - Taser errr nope you would have to charge them up so it was ferretts could be the German Shepherd if we could fit it in :p

I don't how fast hamsters are but the gerbils my kids had could run like greased lightning. One got loose once and, when we would spot him, he would manage to find a hidey hole before we could catch up to him. After a week, I was getting ready to leave for work and spotted him in the kitchen. I literally made a flying leap and managed to grab his tail before the little bugger could finish disappearing through a crack between the counter bottom and the toe kick. I was tempted to give him to my German Shepherd but I would have had to bury my kids so he got a reprieve and a unceremonial dump back into his cage.

Our kids had a couple guinea pigs. They had a kid's plastic pool about 4-5 ft diameter and about 1.5 ft high that they sometimes took the guinea pigs out to play iin the pool, no water, just litter.
One day one of 'em got really playful and started running around the edge of the pool so fast she accidentally flung herself out over the top with sheer centrifugal force! The sides were kinda slanted, not straight up and down, she just went flying over the top! LOL

That was the funny part, but then we had to catch her.
