900D Alternative

demon8991 · 31 Jul 2014 at 02:55

Do you need a case that big?

What is going in it?

Have you considered the 750D, it is still a big case and fits pretty much anything you could want and looks top notch too!

I would not rule the 750D, I think it is a good alternative

actually thats a good shout, the 750D looks good too, ill take a look at it in detail. I don't really need one that big but I would like the space to fit my water-cooling hardware and some room for more

900D successor?!

The 800D was around with the dinosaurs and the 900D recently replaced it.

Expect a 900D successor in around 2050

I just got a 750D it is HUGE. it makes my old akasa eclipse look tiny, and I thought that was a big case. The 900D I checked the specs, It wouldn't actually fit on my desk, it would over hang front and back by few inch, making the legs irrelevant it would be sat flat on its belly.

But if the 900D isn't big enough I have found an alternative

now that is some serious rad space!

the issue with the 900D is the space behind the tray which on initial inspection seems enough but....

once you wang in the rig in my sig plus all the cables, fans, splitters and controllers isnt enough space. way too tight

How many 480mm rads can you fit in there?

Ploppy2k3 · 4 Aug 2014 at 22:30

448 excluding the front doors as you would need to get in there to fit them (also excluding the bottom)

that may need more than a single D5

Thats impressive, I'll get 100 d5 pumps in series

Ploppy2k3 · 4 Aug 2014 at 22:44

and at 35w each x 100=3500w you may need 3 extra PSU's!

I'll wager it will still be quieter than a XSPC 750 bay res!

I'd be using a pond pump

In fact I'd probably use the pond as a res!

I like the setups some Americans do where they run the rad straight in to the swimming pool. sure its extra hose but thats it - job dome.

Over here the bloody thing would be frozen solid for 6 months of the year

Lmao. That would mean you get subzero temps for 6 months so no need to do a 24/7 ln2 setup

Ill take 40 then, my 1300 g2 should be able to handle it. Is the xspc 750 bayres actually that loud?

Ploppy2k3 · 4 Aug 2014 at 23:00

never thought of it like that. so would it be cheating to go for an overclocking record in Siberia?

yup. 2-3 weeks and it was ripped out. in another thread someone said they settle down so i'm gonna leave it running a dead loop for 2 weeks solid and if it doesnt shut up - BIN

Maybe there was some air trapped in thr pump? I'll have it

People have used really cold water but you get loads of condensation on the tubing
