My new Sleeper PC

[R176]

So, I know this isn't a crazy overkill computer or the most beautiful thing ever, but I think it's fun that I've got "decent" hardware crammed into this stock Best-Buy-Special-TM Asus case. Figured you guys might like to look at it. 

 

i7 7700

Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming

12GB DDR4 2800

Asus M32CD4-K (From the original prebuild)

Corsair TX650M

Adata 256GB SSD

2X 7200RPM 1TB HDD's

Additional 120M Thermaltake Riing blue LED fan

 

Looks pretty inconspicuous

Until you notice the fan. The screw holes on the fan *magically* lined up with the grill holes, and screwed right on from the inside. Lucky!

Did what I could with cable management, even though plenty was added, it's still heaps better than how it originally came. 

Yeah that's a pokemon poster. Sorry for reflections on it, but I had to use flash. Black desk + black stuff + shitty room lighting. 

 

The motherboard didn't have any extra fan headers, so the added fan is just running from the PSU via an adapter. I'll get a fan splitter at some point so I can control it. Also, I plan on getting some form of low-profile CPU cooler as opposed to the stock one. It isn't terrible, but it hits about 85-90 under full load for any extended period of time.

My personal description to these kind of builds is: A wolf in a sheep's clothes.

 

I would never guess that there is so much power inside that case. Even with that fan there.

 

Nice job. Keeping it that way or strip it down and build it in another case/project?

Had an old Acer case and was planning on doing something similar but couldn't because the case buttons were proprietary to the motherboard which was absolutely stupid.

 

I really like your build though!

I'm keeping it this way for the foreseeable future. I'm on disability income, so i can barely afford to eat/survive, this was the culmination of a birthday gift and selling a bunch of stuff I didn't use anymore when my previous computer bit the dust. The only plans are to eventually upgrade the CPU cooler to something low profile but better than stock, and get a fan splitter so I can control the added side fan (currently just powered directly via PSU)
