Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) Can't wait to see the build in the h440. You could move your loop back into the r4 and wait for the phanteks enthoo pro to come out and get that instead.

Posted June 15, 2014 Update: I have decided on what to do! I will keep the CaseLabs case and order a white and black H440, then I will do a boss build in that with dual 360s and stuff while I take care of the issues with the Merlin. At a later date, maybe a little while after the H440 or I decide to upgrade my motherboard etc I will do a build in the Merlin. I think that sounds pretty good. wait... so your not going to do a sm8 build... instead an h440.... well thats a bummer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 17, 2014 @TheNinjaNextDor When you say your hard drive is behind the motherboard tray, do you mean the hard drive is leaning against the motherboard tray at the back or front or is secured to the motherboard tray Planned Rig: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/AlpenDrake/saved/N2prxr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 17, 2014 The pictures you take inside make the white look kinda yellow, because you probably are using incandescent lighting.

Posted June 17, 2014 Author is the hard drive fairly quiet or is it audibleSince I used velcro it dampens the sound so it's pretty quiet. It helps if it doesn't touch the side panel. If it does, put some foam or something in there. Build Log Define R4 case mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 18, 2014 @TheNinjaNextDor So what's the reason for moving from an R4 to the H440? I'm thinking about doing a build in one of those cases when it comes time to upgrade (whenever an affordable 8-core Intel chip comes out).

Posted June 18, 2014 I have to say, in that Merlin, the build is too sexy. I bet it will look e en cooler in the H440. Also, when I showed my mom what a watercooled pc looks like, I showed her this build.

Posted June 18, 2014 BTW an affordable octacore Intel chip is never going to be a thing. It will be within the next generation or so. I've got a 3930K, so that's around the max I would be willing to pay. If an 8-core comes out at that price-point, I'd consider that affordable enough.

Posted June 19, 2014 Author Update: The H440 is an INSANE value. A fan controller, four stock fans (3 120 and 1 140), flat sleeved cables, PSU plate, almost fully steel... it's amazing. I love it. I got both 360s in by just removing a fan on the top and still had a place to mount my HDD properly. My pump is a different story, it won't fit very nicely in, but I think I can clean it up and make it work. Pictures: Fan controller: Flat sleeved cables: What should I call it? See you later!
