Show Us Your Rig [5]

Nice one shinigami, it would look great with some braided cables, I am gonna order some for myself one of these days when I finally get round to it.

I can see what you mean about the dust, that must be a real PITA, I am lucky we don't get any where I live.

Thanks Dude,i do have a habit of cleaning my case very couple of days.
And ICit2lol yea i do agree with you,it looks great and cable management is top class but its a little compact for my taste.

No probs mate I am no expert with this sort of stuff and have never worked with anything bigger than the one I got I just liked the number and the size the of fans I could stick in it and the width - the only fault it does have is the filter for the PSU is under the thing so I had to "mod" it with a filter on the outside

oh yes im taking about those same exact cables in red and black,ordered them 2 weeks ago but due to the poor service i need to find another place which is not easy here. Not a lot of honest people. Will be getting some new rams and i7 3770 soon. Hopefully processor today and rams tomorrow. cant wait for the rams,looked great on the site,hope they don't disappoint.

Yup i noticed that too,utgard has a removable filter at the bottom for PSU and another for bottom mounted fan

Yep am going to use the braided stuff on my Haswell when I get around to it they look really nice and I do like the neatness. Plus the ones I cannot get braided ie the ones that come with PSU I am going put the braided stuff on myself.

Wow, some pretty major upgrades there! Are you gonna go for custom cooler when you get the new CPU or stay stock?

Yes have been planning this upgrade for over an year now and im starting university in 2 months so wanted to get this all sorted out.
As for the cooler,well i can buy Xigmatek Achillies new for 25$ only right now,not sure its what i want. I only have one HDD so wanted to get a raptor since SSD is out of my budget. SO now im stuck,i can either buy a good CPU cooler and show off a bit or i can invest in performance and get a raptor for windows and games.
Since these will be the only upgrades i will be doing in a while,i wana make sure i get what i want.

NZXT makes some really nice braided cable extensions, and I think they come in a variety of colors.

I've noticed that those Bitfenix Alchemy ones are made in a smoother matte material than the Nzxt braided cables, but those last ones have the great avantage of being short in length for cables management and little more affordable.

Ok i have postponed the wiring and Raptor and instead bought these baby's for 33$ exactly
Cooler is Xigmatek Achilles and fans are ...well fans,separately cost 10$ each.
And processor didnt reach here today,hopefully tomorrow morning along with the ram. Went to buy new board too but shop was closed but tomorrow i will go early and get everything and set it up

Can NOT wait!!!

ok guys,after HOURS of hard work,i have decided on the Xigmatek Utgard.
Now i should mention first that Hafx is an epic case,its great on its own but when compared with utgard,its nothing special.
Utgard comes with a lot of options just like Hafx but the little things like the fans and the 2 fan controllers and the complete toll-less design along with the removable dust filter at the bottom make it the winner. Although Hafx has better cable management options as it has many of those small hooks (?-probably not what they are called) to which you tie the cables and they are in different places unlike utgards which are sort of in a straight line. BUT utgard has about 1.5 inches of space behind the board which comes really handy.
Another thing i noticed was that Hafx cable management holes are in more...well,needed places. Not randomly placed and it really hides the cables. But then again,the feel utgard gives off is awesome
Looks great and is quite heavy with everything installed as compared with hafx,my back hurts lol.
And before you say anything,i know the cable management is horrible. The 24 pin and 4 pin connectors fell short,this case is huge. Thinking of ordering some custom wires which will cost me 40$ extra

Stripped them down to bare cages for comparison. Right is Utgard and left Haf x.

I do not know if its the camera or what but the case looks 10 times better in real life,maybe i just suck at taking pictures -_-
Got a lot of dust here & there while trying to install the things,otherwise it looks great.

That is one good looking case! Enjoy!

Thank you

Glad to see you around more, Juan.

 

[Bungee18]

Well, no new pics to share yet, but I wanted to comment on NZXT's Phantom 630 case: just amazing! Great to work with, almost the same as its big brother the 820. It is only missing the more "sophisticated" features like RGB integrated lights and integrated digital fan controller but it is a lot less expensive.
Overall, a great case. Like it a lot.
