Show Us Your Rig [4]

[Terronium 12]

Alan stop breaking stuff!

Backside version 3.0 Getting the hot swap 2.5 working required the longest sata cable which was already being used and multi-tie wrapped up and so after a complete redo of all sata cables and several optical drive removals and installs did it all get buttoned back up. Ah it's so great to have that hidden little dock and my 3.5 hot swaps working and doing their jobs !

I can't show you guys the back of my case, I had to wedge the wires in with a crowbar and mig weld the side panel on so it didn't pop back off

Michael, I can't help myself, when I break things then I get to replace same and stimulate the economy, it's a win win.

Paul, That's the way my old case was, it's back bulged in protest of all the stuff going on back there!

 

[Britton30]

Please Stimulate some economy this way.

Corsair 800D...

tw33k, that case is epic in the blue lights !

That's one flush looking rig you've got there Wordsy.

Does that brace not slightly annoy you though? I remember when I was working with the Stacker and the brace where the PSU sits would annoy me like crazy as there was only so much reach and freedom to be had without wanting to rip off the top and attack it from there.

Thanks Terronium. The brace comes out quickly with two screws so its never been a bother to me. What does bother me only a little bit about this case is Lian Li should have done a better job with locating the placement of the bottom of the side panels. A couple of locators down there and I wouldn't be guessing about where the panel goes back on for and aft. A little quibble but I like companies that sweat the details, especially when you pay a premium price.

Nice set up Mark, I like blue too. What is the gadget on the side?

I need to do something about the grey dvd drive though.

 

[Britton30]

Nice clean looking case chromatica. I would swap locations of the PC and woofer, you'll gather less dust.

That's how I had it before, but with it next to the ac return air vent it really keeps my temps low. I just continually dust it with a swiffer and blow it out once a month.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

chromtica,
Looks like you bought a banging GPU then said shit it wont fit and got a hack saw blade out ! Good work and great rig !

 

[Carl Lawrence]

That is a nice rig.

 

[essenbe]

Very nice rig, chromatica. Well done.

Very nice! LOLed when you said about the grey dvd drive, its not that bad though =)

 

[Britton30]

The front panels on the DVD drive will probably come off if you go slow and careful. Most of them have just a few lock tabs on them and the tray cover. they are small and delicate. If you get them off, grab the black spray paint.

That sounds like a plan. Would the tray piece come off as well you think? Also the button.
