Lovely build, is that Glass or PETG?

khemist · 14 May 2018 at 20:55

PETG.

RSR · 14 May 2018 at 21:41

Nice! Did you polish the PETG to get it that shiny?

khemist · 14 May 2018 at 21:55

No, it's EK HD tube, it's much more clear than the Bitspower stuff.

Anyone else picked this case up?, how are you finding it?, i'm still enjoying mine and no plans to change anytime soon.

Nice tidy build, is that Barrow digital sensor on eBay? Given it a google but can’t find it, looks much more refined than other massive screen read outs... pm a link if you can’t post it

Thanks, is this someone ripping off Barrow?? Why the CH on the name...

Edit: looks like the same company, god knows with business in China though

Not sure if it's just an updated name or an offshoot of Barrow.

Links to Barrow support on the website, appears to be some sort of china outfit which uses their products or parts. Completely trust Mizo on the bay anyway!

Yeah, I've bought a few smaller bits there no problems.

For some reason FireFox don't like your image service. Well, not for me anyway. :confused:

I did check your images in Chrome though, so I know you have a full water build, but I seen you posting other builds so you, (among others as well), knows better then me. So I thought that I ask you slightly directly since you owning the same case.

In any case, was going to ask you (or anyone else that might know), the following. I am using a AiO cooler for the CPU. Halfway assembling it and when sorting out cables on the back I realized that the case PWM Fan Hub have a connection to the CPU_FAN on the mother board. Did I assume right that the AiO connection that suppose to be in that socket is instead going to the Fan Hub, where the "Main 4 Pin PWM CPU fan" would been connected if using the CPU fan that comes with it ?

Just wanting to be sure before I finish the build and switch it all on. Would be a shame if I get a fizzle and nothing else when I do ! :eek:

Should be fine, post a pic when you are up and running.

Are you just going to use the stock case fans?.

Was thinking doing that yes, one at the back and maybe one at the bottom, depending if I can sort out the cabling down there properly (wont be using any at the top though). Or you got some better ones in mind ?

I want to see some pics of this thing with HDDs loaded as close to each other as possibly.. I would want to fill the thing with HDDs as a server

Hope this helps

Hi, I've read the whole thread.
I'm looking at the possibility of building a server and I need as many bays as possible 3.5
I think I've found the solution, I hope it helps, bye

[edit] Exactly how many 3.5 bays do you enter?
thanks!

Are individual parts available for sale? Such as additional HDD cages or side panels?

Please help, I cannot find it on ebay. I do it see on the german Fractal spare parts store for $6.90 euro + shipping. Not sure if that's just 1 tray or 6 since there is no picture. But spec says 0.3kg, so that's pretty heavy for just 1 tray. https://www.fractal-design-shop.de/Define-R6

It was a private sale and not connected to Fractal Design.
