Project Corporate Downsize!

ZedPowered · 15 Jul 2010 at 14:20

Due to space constraints I am having to downsize my current build in an Antec P182 as i don't have enough room on/under my desk for a mahoosive case, Mac Book Pro 17", 2 monitors and a printer.

After looking into some of the smaller cases the Xigmatek Asgard was chosen as the suitable replacement.

I am starting work on it this Saturday and will have some before, during and after pics sorted. Just waiting in DPD to deliver the case now.

The specs are not great, but its a work PC used for web development, Photoshop and company accounts.

Specs are (from memory!)

Gigabyte X38 775 Mobo
E8400 CPU
2 x 2GB OCZ Reaper X Ram
ATI 5450 GPU
Corsair HX 650W
DVD Burner
Wifi PCI Card
VIA Sata Controller
4 Internal HDD's
2 External USB HDD's
2 Hot Swap Bays

22" DGM Monitor
17" Samsung Syncmaster Monitor
Canon MP270 Printer

Photographed with a Canon 30D + 17-85mm IS USM Lens

Photos should be up Saturday as I cannot start it until then as I have a band to photograph on Friday.

Sorry, but what part of this is "corporate"?

Does the machine belong to a large corporation?

Being used for "work" does not constitute "corporate" status.

Sorry i forgot to mention, its for my own Private Limited Company and the office is too small now.

Then just buy some business grade kit with a short timeframe SLA on repair/replacement.

Nothing worse than home-made business kit.

I have no need to buy more kit when this serves purpose fine for now.

Must you flame everything you see?

He posted in here as a build log, not for comments on what he's doing with his business! :rolleyes:

Personally, Im looking forward to it, Asgard looks like a decent case and would be nice to know what its like to build and manage cables in

I'm glad I was not the only one who thought it was rude.

Just taken delivery of the case, build quality seems good, the tool-less clips seem of decent quality. Nice and lightweight case so far.
