Project Nstalgic: Scratch-built Case, Desk, Passive LCS on Copper Tubing [ SCRAPPED ]

Looks better than what I expected and now I see what you meant by how you will be able to fit so many drives in. It's quite an interesting solution never seen anything like that before. Good Job! Keep it up :)

Thanks man, On the Next Update Finally You Will Know Why this Project is Named "Nstalgic"  :lol:

eheh, just don't expect something too awesome. 

Nostalgia means "a sentimentality for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

 

So, It's something old & obsolete to many but something very important to me  :wub:

You could fit so many drives in such little space, why don't all case manufacturers use this :lol:.

Well, Most people even many enthusiasts don't like 90 Degree rotated mobo  ;)  Next post

And this case is huge enough to hold 2x 480's in the back, 2x 480's in the bottom and 1x 480 Rad in the side !

Also I could fit another 480 in the front, if i don't use ODD or a 360 if I go without my Air Duct System  :rolleyes:

Yes, yes you should.

I think this case is awesome. Very very large too (2.88 mof potential cooling space? Insane!). 

I never understood why a 90 degree rotation was not popular. I mean, I would not like the cables all be coming out of the top of the case, aesthetically, but at the same time, functionally, that is the best place for them (easy to reach). Plus it makes 100 other things easier. Cable routing. Showing off the GPUs/other PCI-e cards, among other things.

With all that space, you could fit a lot more even with the 2x480's passively cooled and the air duct imo. Any plans aside from the PC part of it? 

For example, I intend to take apart a PS3 and PS4 to install them into my PC case. Why? Because it is awesome. :P 

Eh, maybe that is just me. And maybe I do not fully comprehend the amount of space you have to deal with since I do not own such a large case. Plus most of the pictures are glamour shots, so it is hard to tell what the actual, designed, look is like. Hard to imagine and whatnot (aside from that rough model you built early on of 2x4 wood or styrofoam, I forget which). 

Still, awesome build. :D

I am planning on doing the same thing with my drives in my Fractal Define XL, 2 HDD in the optical bays and SSD on the side, so when you open it up you see the ssd and not the hdds. Hows the Steelsereis Sensie, I've been debating between the Roccat XTD and the Sensie?

rawr!! I'm a ferret!

Cool, Please don't forget to post pics  :) 

 

Well, any peripherals is more personal choice then anything else after you go over a certain brand/quality !

It also depends on what you like and honestly you will never know until you try  ;) 

 

I would recommend the Sensei or the Fnatic version of it, if u have sweaty hands.

You might also like the new Logitech G400s, if you are a low sensitivity gamer or like the feel of a good optical sensor.

If you have a bigger hand like me or Slick you might also like how the new Razer Deathadder 2013 fits comfortably in your hands! 

 

These are all great mouse and used by millions of gamers worldwide.

 

If you like comfort than settle for nothing less than the steelseries mousepads or Func  :D 

 

 

Here is my peripherals :

loving those headphones man, and thanks. I liked the sensei when i was at my frineds house but his brother has the roccat xtd and it feel just as great. Though the deathadder has a really good reputation like the sensei. Idk, I'll choose something soon.

Which way are you rotating the motherboard tray? To where the IO panel is in the top of the case or the bottom? If it is the top, then that is what I am talking about.

3670k? You mean 3570k, or 3770k?

 That is an awesome build. :D Cannot wait to see it.

That it does. It's a 780 with the XSPC Titan block :D 

Still it looks nice. It like a a Ferrari 458 wrapped in a Koenigsegg Agera R, it still ridiculously good and fast. 

rawr!! I'm a ferret!
