Insomnia I55 Thermaltake project

Something I always do at the very end, make the windows in doorpanels xD
It is like something I 'forget' to do because I work in it with the sidepanel off (duh).

I bought something I wanted for a while now; a Silhouette Cameo vinyl cutter. And so far I am very happy with it. Easy to use software and nice working machine. I used it this time for dcals of the sponsors, the name of the case and my very own DLC lionhead that Ianovski designed for me so long ago. I love it!

I bet the pictures doesn't do this justice I bet it's stunning in the metal

My photographing skills don't do the coolant justice. And it gets even worse when I post the finished build pictures in the dark.

A point and shoot camera like Olympus E-PL3 will never do you any favors under low light conditions. Time for a DSLR with a fast lens

Well I can probably still do better than right now with this camera by changing settings and options. But I have no clue which ones and where they are located. I use the standard "options" for if I want to make them with auto or loads of light or very little light or fast moving objects etc.

Oh that's looking rather tasty mate, where did you get the riser cable?

Hey Colin, I still had it from the litecoin mining days. It is pretty crap though. The new Lian Heat or whatever riser cables are far better and already plack and have a piece of PCB on them. But they are quite expensive. 40 euros.

Simply amazing.

How did you find the quality of the case? I've had a few TT cases in my time - last one being a Level 10 GT - The quality was always a bit suspect in terms of hinges, fittings and wiring.

Hey OracIe, I have to be brutally honest and say that I was amazed by this case. It has so many nice little features. I know there has been a lot of talk of this being a copy of a Fractal Design case. I defenitely see simularities in pictures. But I don't think it is a 1-1 copy and many brands have a silenced case with similar features and looks. But yeah I really think this is a good case. And I am not saying this because I was involved in this project. I will always say what I like or dislike about a case even though I have been sponsored by the brand that makes it. I am not sure what I would personally change about this case if I could make one. I especially like the amount of ways you can fit fans in the top. They have made it so that you can fit them in the middle, but also more away from the motherboard in case you want to fit a thick radiator and fans.

Long story short: I was pleasantly surprised about it.

Brilliant results mate. But your camera is not doing the justice

I know, it is probably my lack of shooting skills.
