Can't you get a replacement?
Click to expand...

The whole thing? I'm contemplating it but will have to remove everything as its almost built, pretty annoying

Not sure if I can get just the front panel replaced, to be honest I really want to finish building it to make sure everything works while I'm still in return windows for instant replacement rather than repair and it takes me ages to build a PC because of work and two young children I just dont get the time that I used to

Unsure how it would get past QC because its clearly obvious, I didn't notice it because I just removed all the panels as soon as I took it out of the box and sat them on carpet so there is no way I did it, I'm also extremely careful and paranoid about damaging things which is another reason why it takes me so long to build

@Ron_CM can anything be done RE replacement without me having to return it to OCUK?

Still playing around with stuff, but this is how it looks so far. Managed to get a 120mm fan on the rear panel just now using cable ties. Going to test whether that makes any difference to CPU temps (I suspect it won't do much, as it's mostly blocked). Might also try rotating the CPU cooler if I can (not sure this model supports this). Also want to take another look at the bottom fans. Realised I used rubber washers yesterday between the fans and the case. They might fit without them. Tempted to give vertical GPU a go too. Only got a Wraith Stealth for the CPU in that config though.
 
My noctua thins have come and not making too much difference. Still might keep them. Unsure yet might need a bit of adjustment so they line up better with 2 of the GPU fans.

Loving to case though nice and small and quiet.

@McPhee where are your cables!?Mine run out the bottom of the PSU and go all over the place

You can see my 24 pin cable in my case. I would generally use 2 pci-e cables, but my corsair sf750 has pci-e cable with two 8 pin connectors both 6 to 8 pin on one cable. It cuts down on cable clutter../ I guess I could use either longer cables to hide more, but tbh I couldn't be bothered. It's fine the way it is.

 
I've had to use to 8 pin in mine because Vega doesn't like a single cable

It looks ok now tbh, much like yours, just fired it up and it seems all right, no stress tests yet though

Also @PinkFloyd thanks for the heads-up about screwing in the rear panel. I didn't know it was possible. Saved me a lot of messing around.

I'm glad that helped! :)

I'm caving and ordering an mITX motherboard, probably the Gigabyte X570 Aurus Pro as it will take my current Ryzen 2600 and cover me for upgrading to a beefier 4*00 when they come out later in the year. Just need OcUK to fix the website so I can order and then build at the weekend!
 
Nice clean build. I think the black outline on the glass panel looks a lot better with the white case in a real environment with things in the case than it does in the studio photos. Kinda wishing I went with that rather than black now...
 
NH U12a arrived today. So here is the final build. The u12a fits just fine with the vented panel. Thermals looking great with two bottom fans intake, rear and cooler intake and top exhaust. 3700x hits all core 4.1Ghz in Cinebench R20. Totally satisfied with it.

Been tinkering a bit. Turns out 25mm thick fans do fit under a 5700 XT Nitro+. I had anti-vibration washers on the fan before :rolleyes: Tried mounting a 120mm to the rear, but it doesn't do much. Going to order a P12 for the top and move the Sickleflow fans to the bottom.

They go backward from the PSU. There's a nice gap between the GPU and the side of the case where some cable clutter can be hidden. Same as in the M1 (build experience is actually really similar, so worth looking up M1 tips and tricks).
 
It is hard to hide that 24 pin cable.

Lovely builds fellas :)

Good idea. Might have to give it a go soon?
 
Its great to see peoples builds as Ive got so many options of layout in my head at the moment. In my mind I want to use the glass panel, with the motherboard in view so the graphics card will have to be mounted horizontally. Now I can see from the photos above there is no way a rad and fans are going to fit in the bottom, so the question is do I mount a slim rad under the case with the fans inside or do you think if I water cool the gpu as well I will have room for the rad and fans inside the case?? I hope that makes sense.
