Hello everyone!

 

First of all, I'm an incredibly thankful to Linus, and the LinusTechTips team! 

I would have not been able to built this computer comfortably, without the aid of the LinusTechTips Youtube channel!

I used multiple videos as references for what parts to buy, as well as assembly itself! 

Here it is!

Appreciate it, guys! Cable management is still not as clean as I want it to be, so I'm going to be working on that in the next coming week. Might also do something about the drives/drive cages to free up some space and clean more.

Good job, if I ever do cable management that well, shoot me in the head, because it's a clone.

It's got different pacing than other anime so don't expect your usual slice of life stuff.

Alright, so today, I: 

 

-Managed all the cables. :)

-Removed one of the hard drive bays.

-Added Assist Fans that were included with the Z87 Motherboard

-Added an AF140 Led White fan on the bottom. 

 

Overall, I was just trying to clean up the space. Really happy with the way it turned out.

Feedback much appreciated.

 

-Honestly, I didn't know how to mount the AF140 Fan, so I ziptied it... lol. 

-The assist fans keep revving at random times, is this normal? 

-Are my fan configurations okay? 

-Also, I'm sorry about the image rotations. Too lazy to make the image smaller, also lack the knowledge as to how to rotate them. haha.

Greetings. Great colour scheme/colour matching on the inside. A very nice build

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.
