Here are two quick (terrible) photos of my new PC. I have quickly edited them to remove the brand name.

This is a replacement for my eight year old PC (FX-8350, 16GB DDR3 1600MB, RX 570 (upgraded from an HD7950)).

I really like the look of the Omen Pre-Builds, the case is really nice :D That's quite the upgrade too!

Thanks! I actually never planned to go white but I liked the 4000x case so ordered the rest in white and it turned quite nice. I actually was a little sceptical a bit as my room is dark themed but this adds a nice contrast to the rest.
This is just a cluttered state of my battlestation. Will work on the cable management, never had time yet and few other ideas in my head but will all come so just a sketch below.

Is that panelling behind your monitor or wallpaper? got a link? looks lovely.

Decade old Fractal Design case was finally replaced yesterday with a P500A

I forgot how much I hate PC building. Luckily only ever 10 years :D

How does everyone cope with 10+ fans :eek:
I have 5 running low speed / low noise and it’s its loud enough. Running 3 very good quality 140mm fans at near 100% i can hear them over my open headphones when gaming. 10 must sound like a jet taking off

It's not that bad, if you have a few rads in you can quite easily run them at a relatively low rpm. I run around 800rpm idle which is silent and around 1400rpm while gaming.

The Xtia Xproto open case. Quite a fun but challenging build due to the lack of space. I had the Corsair LL120's already ahead of time but I definitely do not recommend them for something where space is so tight due to needing the corsair commander and rgb box which I had to take both out of their plastic housing to make it work.

Thermals are great off the bat so far so lots of OC headroom. 5800x @ 47c in auto OC mode using Ryzen master so far. 3070 again not stretching too hard but waiting for the bigger brother card to fit there once stock is possible.

Nice build! The industrial design of the Founders Edition is practically made for that case (if you can call it a case... let's say frame). Had my eye on the xproto for a while, but that price. How are your VRM and Mobo temps? Optimum Tech's CPU/GPU benchmark results using open-air are too good to ignore, need to get one or something similar, but cheaper
