*** The New Cases Gallery ***

[Dandaman]

Class! I'm still rocking an Arc Midi and can't quite find a new case that takes my fancy yet.

Fractal R6 for now.

That does look nice Khem

 

[khemist]

Cheers, i really do love this case and it feels huge to me in a good way since my last two cases, Caselabs BH7 and Define c tg have been a lot more compact.

I haven't found one thing i don't like about this case.

I'll chuck a few photos in here. Build log can be found here...https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/project-rainbow-itx.18796854/

People told me that the Phanteks PH-TC14PE with a 17.1cm height wouldn't fit in the Corsair Vengance C70 that supports max 17cm tall CPU cooler - now I've proven them wrong it fits with no modification - but it's a tight fit yes

Yum! @khemist

 

[khemist]

Cheers!, i'm happy with it and the temps are great although i am going to redo two of the bends and switch out one of the fittings tomorrow, then it's done.

How long until the next one khemist? seems like you have something different every month or so! haha

I do enjoy seeing your watercooled builds though, everytime i see one im thinking "i have to do some watercooling one day" and i just never do, but maybe in a few years or so when i feel like an upgrade

 

[khemist]

Not for a long time!, no hardware upgrades in the near future except maybe a larger nvme drive and this 7700k will be staying for quite a while even when the next generation of gpu's are released.

I could add another rad in the top of this but it's really not needed since the temps are great with just the one 360 and it's not lacking anything that i want in a case so i'm using it for the long term.

Love the r6 build Khem. Looks nice and clean. What motherboard/Monitor you using?

 

[khemist]

Thanks!, Gigabyte z270 designare and Dell S2716DG.

@khemist

i go missing for a few years and i come back to see you still making very nice builds kenny!

Last build ive seen you do was that matx one i think it was a silverstone case with the reverse mb orientation??

 

[khemist]

Welcome back!, yeah i just can't stop messing around with cases although i'm not switching this one for a long time.

That case would be the TJ08-E, decent little case for the money.

That R6 is very good Khemist, could put some cable combs on those cables though, overall though very good! I am just finishing my air cooled fractal R6 and it is looking pretty good although yours is better lol.

 

[khemist]

Not a fan of cable combs, at least not on these thin cables, i will just get them bent a bit better or will switch them out later on.

I've got two sets of custom psu cables i can swap out.

I think it would look better if they were straight down to the hole at the bottom and black cables.

Also I must say that the R6 is almost perfect for building in, pretty much perfectly thought out, also it looks very good and the side window open/close I could sit there doing that all day lol. Sorry this is the new cases thread not the fractal R6 thread.

 

[NirK]

Removed wrong thread

 

[khemist]

Ended up switching to Black cables and changing memory, just need to tidy them slightly.

 

[NirK]

Yes I also have black cables and I think they look good, because you can use black cable combs which will keep them straight without being able to see the cable combs... I put my cables into that bottom slot. I will post up my new build at some point but its not as good as yours.
