Posted September 21, 2013 Thought my titans needed to stretch their legs so i'm upgrading from an i7-950 to ivy bridge-e: EVGA Dark, i7-4930k, 16gb HyperX Beast 2400 mhz. Heres the progress so far. Still want to try to straighten up the pcie cable runs, but i just wanted to finish and test it. Ran 8 sata cables just so i wouldnt have to go through the pain of pulling out the cd-rom bays in the future to add on.

Posted December 11, 2013 Author So i've been using the machine for about 2 months now and everything's working fine. I havent really taken alot of photos because i've been trying to pick out a new camera and just have not gotten around to it yet. Even though this switch 810 has lots of options and tons of room, i grew tired of all the plastic and overall build quality. Time to go back to my first love. Lian Li ! I ordered the Lian LI PC-D600 and it arrived today. Its supposed to be a Christmas present so I wont assemble it till the holidays when I have time off of work. But that leaves plenty of time to plan and shop. I might pick up a Swiftech H20- 320 or something similar to go behind the motherboard tray and replace my h100i but still not sure if its worth it to me or not. Did a little ms paint to see how everything would fit. Little bummed the mobo will cover up some of the cable passthroughs but it should still work. Let me know if you have any suggestions for a good 360mm water cooling kit or thoughts on the current one I looking at.

Posted December 11, 2013 Interesting, definitely interested to see final results. Get that Lian Li case please, that would look awesome plus you should sleeve the cables. Also I recommend you post your pictures on imgur.com and then copy the BBCode it will be larger and be easier to see. Followed! Edit: Please water cool this beast as well!

Posted December 30, 2013 Author Sorry for the terrible image quality. It's still a work in progress. Was having some issues with my green/silver pcie extensions so in this shot is a hd7750 i was using for testing. I have the extensions working now so the titans will be back in soon with some close up shots to come. Also picked up a HX1050 psu to replace my non modular TX950. Also i replaced the plexiglass window with a 3/32 inch real piece of glass since my plexi had some issues when i received the case. Ordered some fan grills for the H100i pull fans. Need to do some major wire management on the back side and drop in the Titans and that'll be it.

Posted January 1, 2014 Author Very nice, how do you like the case overall? Its a very nice case but with Lian Li the expectations are high. Its definitely an awesome case but i'd prefer to see the normal slide on/off doors of the previous Lian Li cases. Also the CD-Rom bays while removable completely block all the cable pass throughs on the right side of the motherboard. But beside those picky complaints I love this case and hope to use it for many years.

Posted January 1, 2014 Author Finally got all the cables run through the cable passthroughs. Lots of fun with the CD-Rom bays in the way.

Posted January 1, 2014 Heh uhh you know you're supposed to take out the whole 5.25 bay assembly for cabling. You pop off the front bezel/panel, then unscrew the 5.25 bay assembly thumb screws, and then you are able to get your wiring through. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN4NHYH6KZc ^^^ Skip to 1:50 and see. 9900K / Noctua NH-D15S / Z390 Aorus Master / 32GB DDR4 Vengeance Pro 3200Mhz / eVGA 2080 Ti Black Ed / Morpheus II Core / Meshify C / LG 27UK650-W / PS4 Pro / XBox One X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 2, 2014 Author Oh i've had the drive bays out many times but them being removable doesnt really help. The problem is that there is only about 1/2" of clearance between the drive bays and the motherboard tray. Not enough room for thick cables or connectors of any type.
