The Boxx

Ok. This is obviously not the original Boxx config. Original one is a dual-771-xeon eATX with a quite-pathetic Quaddro FX 380, with 4x2GB of FBDDR2.

It's a W480, with i5-10600K (upgrading to i7-11700K), with 32GB of Samsung 3200 (vengence is getting swapped out)

(don't worry about that hanging 860evo-on-a-sata-adapter; that's just temporary).

The power supply have tendency to overheat a particular inductor, because Seasonic really don't want to spin the fan. So I pointed the cooler at it. The fan is pulling through cooler and exhaust to the supply.

It's almost impossible to ignore the 2x RX470, but between the two cards is a quad m.2 PCIe card from Linkreal.

With four 512GB SSD from LiteOn, BiWin, Samsung (OEM) and ... WD SN730.

A Killer 1535 WiFi card (replaced TP-Link's 7265), and another (singular) m.2 adapter. The boot SSD is in 1x slot (considering getting a x4 adapter), 256GB Samsung (OEM).

Underneath the upper GPU is 32GB of Optane. It used to be used as a glorified USB stick, but I figured it will be more useful acting as a pagefile drive.

Flip around the back and you have the world's most pathetic HDD array (5x SMR 2TB). The 750GB is just temporary.

The front include nothing surprising but some very powerful intakes (replaced; original ones are much weaker Deltas)

The intake have filters, I removed it for picture purposes. Need to finish making 3D printed filter cover.

Those feet are 3D printed as well. It did not come with any.

Threw in a PCI Serial poet cover because the board cone with two. Might be useful in the near future. Also pretty identifiable wire-secured exhaust/overheat fans.

Side panels are solid aliminum, about same thickness as chassis.
