TOTO84

Finished off with some mesh and edging tape, some more practice needed

Added a front i/o from a corsair icue case swapped the hdd for a 1tb m.2, i have some mesh to cut for the front but i need to paint the wood first

Trying to use hardware i have lying around to save on cost, ill put windows on a m.2 boot drive eventually and use the hdd for storage, its not going to be hard pushed its a secondary system for the front room (primarily streaming browsing and some emulation), I'll look into the power supply. I was between this one and a used unit. I know tech yes city had some issues but that turned out to be a reseller rebranding power supplies with a higher wattage than they were

4x92mm fans on the intake 1x92mm on the outtake, going to have to cut a space in the base to accommodate them as they sit pronounced atm, also going to use a hole saw to open up the hole at the back of the cabinet

Sacrificed a old case to mount the gpu on its back and secure the psu, built a frame around the front which will mount the fans and some black mesh to hide everything Untitled video.mp4

Under orders from the missus that she didn't want a tower sitting next to the tv unit. The cpu is a 12100, gpu 1660 the hdd is a 1tb WD black all left over from upgrading my old rigs, purchased a gamemax 450w sfx psu 2x8gb generic ram @3200mhz and a msi pro h610 M/B a corsair front io and 5xarctic 92mm fans. All in all I'm in for under £200 started off with cutting a piece of ply i had lying to use as a base and mounting some motherboard standoffs.

The corsair 900d has a 5.25 io panel so does the phanteks p600s and older enthoo series, but sourcing parts at a decent price is like finding rocking horse poop. I might be able to attack the 750d with a dremmel and then contact adhesive the front plate to the io pcb and guts

Found this on FB marketplace for £30, i take it the top is a 5.25 sled ? (corsair obsidian 750D)

Budget (including currency): Cheap Country: U.K Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Browsing Emulation Other details intel 12100 16gb ram@3200 gtx1660 Wife doesn't want a tower on the tv cabinet so I'm putting this together Cant find any good solutions for a front io panel, on switch and usb.. Any recommendations or solutions welcome Untitled video.mp4

that was with a gigabyte x570 aorus pro £240. and gigabyte z390 aorus pro £151, just price checked gigabytes x470 at £125 this is more attainable on my budget. Thanks for advice

I just did a price comparison excersise on the 9900k and 3700x for mb and cpu the difference was negligible (within £10), seems suppliers are already reacting and slashing the price of the intel chips. At the same price point then, does AMD's PCIE 4.0 support overrule the marginal performance gains of the 9900k ?

Similar dilemma. Intel's prices are shifting already. Priced up MB and CPU for i9, 9900k/Ryzen 3700x at todays pricing 08/07 intel came in at £570 (9900k £425! and Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO £150), AMD at £565 (3700x £320 Gigabyte X570 AORUS PRO £245) all pound sterling. Seen other reviews where the 9900k tips the Ryzen 3700x in benchmarks is the idea of PCIE 4.0 worth going the way of AMD ?
