So the title says its finished but its never going to be finished. Inspired by a post on the forum, I have decided to stealth my drive. There is a front view of the cast in the original post and this is how it turned out :) im pleased with it
.
Also sorry about the terrible lighting, I didnt want to unplug the system and move it :P
Hey guys, I completely forgot to take progress pictures of the rig I built during Christmas so I hope its ok for me to show off my finished rig here.
First of all the specs:
Case: Bitfenix Shinobi black window.
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k
Cooler: Corsair H60 in push pull with 2 Quiet edition SP 120's
Mobo: MSI Z77a-g45
Ram: Corsair Vengance 8gb
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 660 FTW
PSU: Corsair TX650
Boot Drive: OCZ Octane 128gb (This is from my old rig. Still going strong)
Storage: 500gb samsung F1 for programs/games I don't put on my SSD, 1tb Samsung F3 for TV shows, 1.5tb external for movies and backup(all drives are from my old rig, need to think of a better storage solution with less drives, and more backup)
standard optical drive which has never been used, also a quiet AF120 for the front.
I have set the CPU cooler up so it pulls in cold air from the outside and exhausts from the bitfenix fan on the top of the case, I didn't have any dust filters for the back so I cut the one at the bottom of the case in half and used the coolers screws to hold it up.
I had a plan for the cable routing before I started the build, I routed most of the front panel cables behind the motherboard, and a fan splitter too.
I have mounted the power supple this way round because I think it looks better, and I noticed it never actually turns on, apart from at start up.
I decided to finish the build off with a NZXT sleeved LED light strip, It lights up the case nicely, and looks great through the smoked window which is growing on me.
Pictures of the rig:
Thought i would chuck in a quick picture of my setup too
