My New Case has Arrived (Inwin 8.0.S.S Cube), The start of something special

[BRiiTASH]

My new case has arrived, its an Inwin 8.0.S.S Cube MATX case. Costs £320 brand new but got it off a guy new for £170 new as he never used it in a build he planned.

 

Super excited to start this build but Im going to make sure i get this one right.

My current build has a Thermaltake Core X9 with 3x480mm rads, an i7 5960x, 2 gtx 1080s, asus x99 e ws mobo, ax1500i psu, 3x2tb sshds, 2x 850 pro 512s, 1x sm951 512gb, 1x 960 pro 1tb, 1 WD Black 6tb HDD, asus strix dlx 7.1 soundcard, and ek xtop dual revo d5 pump and 25 fans in total.

 

Its only been assembled since christmas eve just gone but i couldnt resist the itch to start a new build which will likely involve ripping most of those parts out and selling whatever i will be upgrading, mostly just the cpu, mobo and gpu.

 

Im planning on using the new ASROCK X399M Mobo whenever it releases and a 1950x or whatever the new one will be, and a single GTX 2080 so long as it beats the 1080 sli.

 

Does anybody know of anyone who's built in this case before, or can find any information other than the CaseKing.DE video thats out there. 

Im really loving how compact the case is and all the support for radiators (2x360mm and 1x240/280mm) that it has. It also seems to have the perfect mounting position for the large dual pump i already own, and it lools nearly identical to my Core X9 only smaller.

 

If anyone knows of any good slim rads and 120mm fans let me know, as they will be my next purchase unless asrock release the X399M (sponsor me maybe).

My last build has in total cost me damn near all of my pay last year (around $10,000), so it would be nice to save a little where i can for this one, but i dont intend on cutting corners. 

Already mapped the loop out in my head (will be using hard tubing again ?) so that will be a challenge getting the bends right in such a small space but i managed last time so heres to hoping all goes well. 

 

Just wanted to boast a little bit if im being honest, was a shitty day in work.

When looking at the dark shot: alright aright, alright, not bad.

Then you get to the lit shots...

Sometimes i really don't understand the fascination with making ones computer look nice.

 

a lot of times these people completely ignore their room and leave it looking like a garbage bin

first of all, beautiful specs, almost did some dirty  things when i heard the specs,,

 

but the pics

 

gosh golly lighting is a thing that should be taken care of,

To be fair the lit shots were taken before i installed the LEDS and tidied the cabling up a bit, but working in a case where the mobo is mounted horizontally and there is no room to hide a cable nest means making your case look tidy and aesthetically pleasing is almost impossible.

Other than that, it's a rather odd assortment of very nice parts

Planning on using less fans next build so i wont need so many extensions cables and cable splitters so hopefully it will all look a little more presentable.

This was more so a function>form build anyway. Wanted to go all out on cooling potential decided to add as many fans as possible

nice man, you can still use the fans, maybe get some extensions and just cable ties /covers.

This is my new case. Its dwarfed by my current one.

Oh

My

God 

 

You. Need. Lots. And. Lots. Of. Cable. Extensions. Of. Every. Kind. And. Lots. Of. Zip. Ties.

 

Seriously though, it's worth the money to tidy things up, well, in my mind it is anyway. If your cables are too short to bundle up together, add an extension in. Bundle as many up as possible in straight runs, and hide wherever possible. 

 

Bonus points for custom building your own cables but it's totally understandable if you don't, it's tedious and not cheap.

With my PSU I wouldnt trust anything other than the manufacturers cables, besides im not even sure there are custom cables for the AX 1500i.
