Nergale

yo guys!
 
im starting the build in preparation for amd to release there zen chip.
i plan on getting the fans, 3 360 rad's, 2 pumps, 2 res's, aquaero installed and wired. 
 
to start i ordered the a custom case from moon light mods. i really like there acrylic case's.
 
next will be 3 aquacomputer copper rads and the new RGB fans from corsair.
 

As I really like seeing scratch builds myself I decided to post one of mine builds.
 
The reasons this thing even exists is mostly me having parts lying around and the fact that I wanted to play 4 player coop games on my TV.
It had to be exactly 30x50x21 centimeters to fit into my TV-rack.
 
Coming to the speccs:
I7 860@ 3,8 GHz - 29€ from "german craigslist" (ebay-kleinanzeigen)
Asus P7D55D - 40€ from ebay
Crucial BallistX Sport 8Gb Kit - 29€ offer on Otto.de
Corsair CS 430W - 30€ on mindfactory.de (If I recall correctly)
Sandisk SSD 240 GB for 49€ on Conrad.de
Palit Geforce 770 GTX Jetstream for 69€ on ebay.de
Fans ~ 30€ Caseking.de
Fan Controller 15€ Caseking.de
And about 20€ for some wood

That's about 310€ 
 
Here is a concept:

Which didn't work out entirely, but it was a good point to start at.
 

Front / Backside, holes for the fans.
 

My patented drill connection kit, which was super ghetto and super dangerous. (It's a miracle I didn't cut myself doing this. The drillhead could actually fall out as it didn't have any connection to the drill itself.)
The connector is by the way a part of a screwdriver connector with a dull bit hammered in. 
 

There is a testfit. I'm sorry I could not provide any more pictures of mounting the sides and the fans. Though if you're interested:
The fans were mounted directly to the wood by drilling a large hole that could fit the screwhead. The hole wasn't drilled all the way through, the last part was done with a smaller drill that just fit the actual screw itself.
 
Some people might notice that the parts for the testfit arent the ones described above. I had these lying around and mATX is mATX right?! (Yeah that did not work out in the end)
 

Realizing I managed to put one fan in the wrong way. 
 

Drilling holes into the top because the CPU cooler was too large to fit into the case.
 

And testfit.
 

After some sanding and the first coat of paint. If you're wondering why the inside did not get painted is because I wanted the LEDs to get a better reflection surface. 
 

More or less finished painting, mounted the fans.
 

Now with most of the parts installed.
 

This is what it looked like from the inside before remounting all the hardware as the other mainboard was slightly larger and therefore needed to be turned around.
And yes I needed to redo the holes in the top. 
 

Another perspective. The shelfspace in the back is where this needed to fit by the way.
 

This is the PC today sitting there doing its buisness. I need to repaint the shelf though as it is a tight fight and I damaged the finish a bit :(.
 

The finished product playing some DS3!
 
I hope you liked my kind of low budget wooden PC box. I myself had a lot of fun building it.
 
If you didn't manage to spot the "On-Switch": There is none.
It starts via Wake on LAN. Though that once went horribly wrong as Windows 10 decided that my LAN driver was outdated and installed a new one that did not support WoL. Yay.
 
By the way I got better over time working with wood, I made a case for my NAS which now looks like this:

By the way I got better over time working with wood, I made a case for my NAS which now looks like this:
 

Well finally a reason to subscribe to Pewdiepie.
 
Brb.

Well I have asked myself the same question a while back. In the end I made some kind of workaround, which might not be what you want but it is a start.
 
I made a cronjob that sends a "shutdown -p now" at 3 am on Fridays and Saturdays. The rest of the time it shuts off at midnight (I'm working full hours I almost never need to adjust that schedule. If I'd need to adjust it more often I'd simply write a bash script that rewrites the cronjob.
 
Now to start it again I'm using wake on lan, it's pretty easy to enable on FreeNAS. I'm using my mobile phone when I'm at home to start it and a raspberry Pi if I'm working and need access to some files. 
This works like a charm if you're interested.
http://www.jeremyblum.com/2013/07/14/rpi-wol-server/
 
Else if you really only need it when you start your PC then you can simply write a script that sends the wake on lan package to the MAC Adress of your NAS and let it start with your PC.The same thing can be done to shut it down again. Just write a shutdown script for your PC that also logs into your freenas via SSH and sends a shutdown there aswell.

Tried it with my e5420 on an MSI G41-25 and on an XFX 780i sadly I did not get it working on either. Though might be that it wasn't seated correctly.
 
Good luck I guess.

Go for the ASUS H81M-E.
 
Ever since you can overclock on H81 ASUS boards, any of these is probably a good idea.

Sorry neither Mindfactory, Alternate or Geizhals could find anything, seems like the Product is not available in Germany yet.

It's not solely a matter of competing. AMD has a $2.4 billion cannon pointed at them, and the fuse reaches the powder December 2019. They have 5 quarters over which equally-sized, huge chunks of debt come due. Zen, R 300, and R 400 have to sell big for AMD to survive, or Intel could forgive its portion of the debt and try to find ways to reconcile with JPMorgan.

Using mine as mediacenter, couldn't be happier.
 
That's Raspbmc with the "Amber" skin - probably the one eating the least resources.
