Thank you anon I will definitely have to look into that, I'm off to uni this fall and I need a smaller case. Again many thanks.

>>59503272
It's apparently good for LAN parties and such, if that's still a thing.
Beware the plastic bottom pieces. The case rocks if it's too top heavy. I'd support it with something solid and keep it off the thematic, thin, plastic "feet"

If you'd have shown me a better reservoir pump combo with a black brushed metal front that fit perfectly into that case and theme, with the good reviews that reservoir had, for the same low price, I'd have considered it.
It didn't come with a pump, I put a vfd D5 in. Forget the brand, but it's in the other image I posted.

It and all the fans run on their lowest settings, and I haven't had an issue in 4 years. Hard to complain.

Clean build, anon. Red isn't my thing, but it's well done.

Awesome build. Such a shame that some dope at Noctua thought that color scheme would be a nice look for their fans. Brown and tan? Come on, Noctua. I think Noctua fans are hideous but I have two in my rig because they are great fans.

>>59504841
Wow, another tight build. Builders who go small seem to be proud of their rigs, and why not? They end up looking amazing when done right.

Well, I love it. I'd design my room decor around that rig. Well done. But does it run cool and quiet and fast?

>>59504913
There are smaller ITX cases, but I like the styling, full size PSU compatibility, and build quality of mine. You could also fit a 240 and 120 rad in the Define Nano S if you wanted to go smaller.

>>59504904
Thanks anon!

>>59504921
>But does it run cool and quiet and fast?
yes * 3

>>59504938

I was actually comparing the dimensions of that case to the Nano S. The Nano is only about an inch or less shorter and narrower. I've heard Phanteks cases are high quality and 100% metal though and I know from my Define S that the front panel is plastic.

>>59504991
You're thinking of the large Enthoo Evolv ATX. This ITX case is plastic, though it is really sturdy.

>>59505033

You need to get some duster for that thing. Oh I would grab at least 3 cans, 1 to clean the system and 2 to huff while you do it. Shit gets you fucked up

>>59505210
I stand guilty. Don't worry though, I give it a periodic cleaning once a month, the house I am in is pure dust, as for the rest, its a heavily overclocked 8350 on a biostar w/ r9 380. The other components cycle in and out. I am going to try and push it till 2018. so far so good for an old rig.

>>59505210
And he's got the case directly on a shaggy rug. That pic belongs in a pc gore thread.

>>59505154
Three recommendations, anon. First, blow all the dust out of that thing with a compressor or some canned air. Get yourself a nice bristle brush (a three inch paint brush will do), place the nozzle of a strong vacuum near the brush head, and brush that case and fans. Second, consider adding some fans to pull air into the case. At the very least, re-arrange the fans you have now so that there are more fans pulling in than pushing out. Third, get a slab of marble or some smooth and solid pavers or even a plank of wood. Make sure whatever material you choose is wider and longer than the bottom of your case. Put that slab under your case so that your case is not directly on the rug.

>>59503125
SSD placement on that case is 10/10.

>>59504243
>he bought a 1050
>not a 470
0/10

Am I the only one who thinks small form factor builds are sexy as fuck?

>>59503924
I think I see one fan in the front, but it will still suck in air and dust from every crack unless the ins outnumber the outs.

>>59505334
Lol those cases suck. The thumbscrews only go in their original holes even though they all look the same. No vibration dampers for the drive mounts. Metal edges aren't exactly sharp, but definitely not rounded over like you see from other case makers like corsair or in win. Also, there's no way to clean the dust filters on the front of the case - the two small side ones, not the big one that comes out.

>>59505154

cable manage, put a filter on the side and the bottom and get that off the carpet. I had similar fan setup with 200 front, 1x120 side and rear 2x120 top. I had neg pressure and was sucking in from cracks so I just took the rear fan off.

front and side intake, top exh. temps and fan speeds were the same. switched to a 140mm in the side and the gpu got cooler. much cleaner now. My rec for that case
front, in: pwr fan or molex
side, in: gpu if possible, chassis if not
bottom, in: chassis
top, exh: chassis
rear, pwm, exh: cpu_fan

I wish I had a passable camera just for these threads.

The adhesive foil bit on the HDD bay was the first clue. It didn't come off cleanly or reattach properly when I installed an SSD, but didn't seem to affect anything anyways. I always thought it was a retarded design because of that, so it stood out. As for getting closer than that, well, pic related.

>>59505865
Yeah had to mod the case a tiny bit to mount it there. It's not stock like that but I wanted to feature the SSD because it was the basis for the theme.

I can't help but question your decision to go with a some-what expensive case and the intel stock cooler. The intel stock cooler is fine, the locked chips are a okay way to save money but if I were to use one I would get a nice understated no-window case. Maybe a fractal or no-window variant a super midi like s350, s440, phanteks shit, etc. The case IS gorgeous though, maybe clean it?
>>59510120
god yes. you managed to make poo fans match your build. why isnt there any power going to your motherboard? No GPU is cool but it would look nicer with one.
>>59510167
Strong 10/10 but it's just because you were willing to spend money on aesthetics. I picked parts that looked good together but refused to pick something more expensive just because it would look better. The matching of those sick cables, gpu, x62, and aer fans on white god it's just matched so well. I like it.
>>59511058
It's a computer!!!

>>59512950
you should do something with that cooler, having the cable hang out in the middle doesn't look very naisu desu.

>>59513247
No where else to mount it though. I could mount it the other way so the cables are on the top but I kind of like it the way it is because it camouflages the gpu's power cable. What if I bought some coils to go around the tubing?

>>59513268
yeah, maybe on top and try to tie them to the roof somehow.

You can probably find some other way to arrange the gpu power cable. You could pass it from below the gpu and then around to the connector

>>59513447
Hm alright thank you, I'll work on it tonight and post results in the next thread.

I can't get over how nice the p400 is for a $60 case. Every time I have to move it for whatever reason I'm blown away by how light and nice to the touch it is.

I don't know, I just didn't even consider it. Yeah it took a long time to put it together because I wanted it to be good even though it's like my 10th build.
>>59513665
Should I pick up some aers and a hue+? I already have 2 rgb strips but I only have a simple controller for them thats a part of my case, so the hue would let me do more with them.

>>59513689
oh yeah and there is no where for those strays to go. The two black ones up top are from the cooler and I can't mount the cooler on the top part of the case because the ram gets in the way.
the front panel cables are managed asa well asa they can be. and the cable in bottom left is the power for the rgb led strip, I suppose that can be taped down out of sight.

>>59513689

You guys probably seen this case before (Thermaltake P3) but i changed it up a bit, so instead of keeping it open case I 3D printer some brackets so I can close off the top and side.

Serious question: how do you control your wires so well? Whenever I build a rig and try to make my wiring look neat and tidy, the wires are either too short to be bent into a convenient position or too fucking thick to run through the back case cover

what gives

>>59503125
What do you call this type of tubing you used in your custom loop?

I am looking into a custom loop later maybe summertime after I get my Vega card and I think I'm going to go for straight black tubing and probably just clear water with whatever recommended additives. Functional and understated, and I like the look of yours so I'm curious.

>>59516637
You have to smash them against the back, or you use a not shit case that has good room behind the mobo.

For the length problem you could just get Cablemod extensions and kill two birds with one stone, it looks better and it's longer to reach harder to get spots.

>>59516637
A. get good wires that can be bent
B. be creative, try running wires in crazy places like underneath the MOBO connections
C. use lots of zip ties, drill holes in new places to put the zip ties where you need them
D. plan ahead
>>59516661
see >>59503235 for all the details
It's tygon, and I got it from frozencpu
as for additives, if you just use distilled water all you need is a silver kill coil

>>59505230

>>59516709
Oh nice, thanks, didn't see that shit.

And yeah that's what I was planning to use distilled water.

Also while we're on water cooling is it true that third-party GPUs are hard to find blocks for and that you should try and swing a reference model if possible?

everything that is bad about windows 10 you can simply disable if you know how to remove """"essential"""" windows functions

Help.

>>59518368

I miss the server aesthetic. . . green mobos and shiny metal cases.

Is the r7 1700 supposed to consume .528V at stock

>>59519914
that's very low voltage

>>59519939
it's what CPU Z is reporting, may just be a bug
