My Silverstone Fortress Build

cheers guys. i'll take a picture of the ugly side at some point tonight. I will say if you can get the modular do so as it was a real pain finding room for all the leads etc

will also update once the new fans arrive. i'm thinking i'll maybe put two on the TRUE for a pushpull motion as my temps on prime were. 88, 85, 85, 81 with a TJmax of 95.
 
Nice work magic.

I would ditch the fan grills inside on the rear and upper fans, I removed all of the fan grills on mine as I think it looks better and I like the suicide fans look lol
 
yeah i was thinking of doing that last night whilst the mobo was out. I think i'm going to invest in a Noctua for the Kama after all. try and push more air into the case directly at the TRUE.

I think the Xigmatek fans will finish it off a treat once they're installed.
 
That's looking verrrrrry nice indeed Magic! You've done a good job of that cabling - I'm well impressed (and ever so slightly jealous too)

I think that's also sealed the fate of my Antec 300! Fortress here I come!

Congrats Magic :D
 
I wonder if the cooling would be better or worse if you added the kama bay then changed to top fan to an exhaust, then you would have the same in and out. Theres an experiment for you magic ;)

Hmmmmmmm now that's an idea?!
i suppose it would even out the Positive air pressure within the system.

edit: apparently not according to this?!

Looks great!! I was all set on a Lian-Li but this is changing my mind! The general layout of the case is the same, but this one just looks... better! :p
 
cheers guys

i've never spent above £35 on a case before but my god i'm glad i did.

Can't compare to anything else in this price range or quality but i'm dead chuffed with how it turned out.

Just need new fans to finish it off. Apaprently they were posted last Wednesday!
hmmmmmmmm
 
you have no idea how many photos i took to get them even close to being ok. The lighting in our back room is awful. Plus the rubbish Nikon camera with (apparently) stable control still takes blurred pics. :mad: :p

I'll try my best to take better ones when i instal new fans.
 
If your camera has a delayed shutter function, and you have a mini tripod, or even a nearby table, use that and then it will be 100% shake free when the image is captured. ;)
 
well i'd sourced them from elsewhere in the end only to be told by origional company that they'd also sent two out yesterday after i'd requested a refund.

they are being good and said if i return them they'll refund me.

but yes now having them here at work is a relief as that Zalman on the TRUE is good for nothing. Very poor fan.
 
Updated pics. Hope you like them.

Xigmateks and Noctua installed.
