    Thank you very much  
    I don't care to much if people don't like RGB 
    it's my computer and my money I work hard for so will spend it how I want.

    Thanks for everyone's comments 
    I thought there was no issues but better to ask people with much more experience than myself

    I don't work with computers but at a battery store. We do everything from hard to get button cells, 18650s to truck batteries and 24v 100ah lithium. 
    We had a lady a couple months back abuse us for selling her the wrong laptop battery. She brought her laptop in to show us and she thought the power supply case was the battery compartment. 
    Another lady spent half a hour making us show her all these car and truck batteries ( her English was not very good) 
    She kept measuring the batteries with a piece of cardboard ( not actually a bad idea, done it myself with multiple measurements)
    Each time she pointed to a battery she would say " more like that" 
    Some batteries were 80kg 200 amp batteries. 
    She finally get fed up with us and pulled a laptop battery out of her hand bag to show us the actual battery she wantec.

    Didn't you use the insulation pads under the psu to stop it from shorting on the chassis

    Gamer's Nexus (e.g. Tech Jesus) did a review on the InWin A1 recently.
    The PSU appears to be a decent / alright 80 PLUS Bronze unit.
    You are safe there.

    Dttocs got a reaction from jiyeon in Inwin A1 (my 2nd build)   
    Only got interested in pc and gaming a couple months ago after buying a dell 5675 for video editing. 
    It was advertised as a gaming pc so i got a few games to try and was hooked.
    A few weeks ago i built a small inwin 301 case with a ryzen apu for streaming and light game play in the lounge.That now is getting the rx580 from the dell.
    So i built a Inwin A1 
    Asus rogs strixs b350 motherboard 
    ryzen 1700x cpu (from the dell)
    G.skill trident z 16gb ram 
    Samsung M.2 evo 960 256mb ssd
    1tb ssd/hdd  (cant think of brand)
    Mastercooler ML240R AIO 
    4 x Mastercooler 120mm rgb fans.
    Msi GTX 1080 gaming X gpu
    Finished about 3am getting it running and still needs a few programs 
    Cant wait to leave work and play a few games.

    Dttocs got a reaction from suchamoneypit in All show no go (first build)   
    So i have completed the first part of my first ever build.
    Bit of background.  Never touched a computer for anything other than watching YouTube up until about 2 years ago (i am 48 yrs old)
    Then i got into fpv mini racing quads that need flight controller programming (up dates, pid tuning,cli commands, esc programming) 
    I need to learn from the beginning all the basic stuff like working with zip files etc.
    A mate gave me a old work station that was great for about 12 months and started to have issues a couple months ago.
    So i brought a dell 5675
    Amd ryzen 1700x 
    Radeon rx580 
    Ssd  hdd etc. Great for video editing my gopro footage. 
    It was advertised as a mid gaming pc. 
    Never played a pc game in my life but wanted to try it .
    Got instantly addicted to pubg 
    So next came a predator ultrawide and a mechanical keyboard and multi button mouse.
    My interest in computers was growing rapidly. Then watching channels like linustechtips got me wanting to build something myself. 
    So it started as a mini pc for my room to stream movies and Netflix. 
    It currently has a amd 2200g apu. 
    But as i was buying gear for the build i decided to future proof it a little with a 650w psu. By the time i started building it i had decided to take it further, so instead of just buying some rgb fans i added a aio cooler with rgb fans and controller (wanted it to look pretty lol) 
    Unfortunately the board was not compatible with the gen 2 apu/cpu so i borrowed a older CPU and did a bios update.
    So build is 
    In win 301 case
    Msi a320 gaming pro MB 
    Amd 2200g apu 
    Corsair  vengance 2400 8g ram 
    Coolermaster mastercool ml240r rad/pump.
    240g ssd 
    Thermaltake smart pro rgb 650w fully modular psu.
    Picking up a Ryzen 2600 this week and the following week a Gigabyte Auroras rx580.
