Show Us Your Rig [5]

[Golden]

Steve, I think its in Show us your Rig 4, but I cant find the thread. Paul will love my cable management

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Paul,
The new rig has come out very clean indeed ! Nice touches with the small wiring changes they really can make a visual difference and have. I love how with these new cases the mobo just get's lost in the case......so much room and great air flow, now get a Kraken x60 and join the sealed 280 club.

There is a small speck of dust on the PSU cover.....disgraceful!

Lol, that is actually a screw it's the shine off it! No dust in my case....Yet

Tsk, tsk.....that screw should have been painted black.

A black felt pen will take care of that.

Mayhap Paulpicks21 should change his name to Paulpicky21?

All seriousness aside, I don't blame him for being picky after all the fine work he put into it.

Really nice job Paul. Is that a bundle of cables coming out of the drive cage?

That's a very trick adjustable fan mount with fan installed to focus front air from drives to GPU. The NZXT 410 I built had the same feature.

Thanks Alan, Paul may be napping.

Must be Pick-on-Poor-Paul day.

 

[paulpicks21]

Just got in from work.

@Alan, thanks for the kind words, this Kraken x60 you speak of, is this any better than the new Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme I was looking at? I suspect they all do pretty much the same job.

@ Lady F, lol at the name change, thing is with a white case it shows up the wires even more than a black one, I felt I had to get it right. BTW the screw head is black, the casing of the PSU is in a matt paint but the screw has a slight shine to it and I believe it was a light reflection that made it appear like that.

@Gary, yeah it's a 140mm fan that you can adjust the angle on to blow air at your GPU or PSU or whatever you like. You can also fit a 2nd one below.

It's ok, I can take it lol, and I have a nice cold beer in my hand so life is good

Paul,

Really, really like the no-nonsense white case, and your cable management is impeccable.

If it was mine, I'd be tempted to go to the local appliance repair shop and get a nice chrome badge...say Frigidaire or Maytag.

Better yet -- Speed Queen. :devil: (A highly regarded brand of commercial coin-op washing machines and dryers)

Paul,
I have run (1) H50 (1) H100 (2) 2.0 Extreme's and (1) X60 Kraken. They are all excellent at what they are. The 2.0 Extreme's I like for the thicker than H100 240mm rad. more surface area better cooling. To that extreme (pun intended) the 280mm X60 uses two 140mm fans and in the NZXT case line up they fit like gloves and in yours you may also be able to run in push pull.

Ok thanks Alan, I will give that one some serious thought, yeah the 140mm fans fit great in the roof and I am sure I could run push pull no problem at all.

 

[Britton30]

Alan how do you fit 2 240mm rads in the case?

 

[essenbe]

Depends on the case, Gary. Some are built for it (like Paul's), some have to be modded to do it and there is always the option to mount 1 up top and one externally on the back. That's what the rubber gromets are really for on the rear of the case. External rads are usually more efficient than internal ones. Paul's case is made to pull the bottom drive cage out and it is perfectly set up to put a 240mm rad there. He can also put a 360 or even a 480 up top, although that's a tight fit. His case was built for 140mm fans up top, which means he can easily fit a 280mm rad or even a 420mm rad in the top.

 

[Britton30]

Ahh, OK thanks Steve, I dinna know that. Now I want a Switch case.
