Man of Honour
It is all in the title, this is a project to build a home for my graphics cards.
The first part of this project is to get the system up and running and then go for fine tuning and refinement later.
Here is a few photos of the case to get this thread started.
The parcel felt very light, even the delivery guy mentioned it.
You do not get many accessories with this case.
Back view, notice the PCI-E slots at the top.
Front view.
Have had to dismantle the hard drive cage to get to the fan mounting point, I was tempted to leave it out as I don't use hard drives but I don't think that would work as the cage forms part of the rigidity of the case.
Here is the bare bones
Some fans
480mm AX rad and more fans, plenty of room for another 480mm down there.
Another rad and more fans
I bet no ones going to look here for the SSDs
Yes that is a RIVE in there looking a bit lost
That's the PSU installed
Some plumbing
More plumbing
I am not looking forward to the next step, filling it up.
In with the memory, I hope my 3930k can keep up with it.
Time to put one of these in
In the end I put all of them in, I don't like having the rig on its side too long now its full of water.
This will give you an idea of the size of the case, the side panel in front is off of my Corsair 800D
It's alive, just started it up and got into the bios, set the CPU to 4.0ghz and memory to 2400mhz
With the back panel on.
Top of the cards, no back plates needed here.
Lower front panel on.
Top panel on.
Looking through the window.
Third rad fitted.
All waterblocks fitted.
It is a very tight fit in there if using backplates.
This job I hate doing.
In case of emergency, at the first hint of trouble, connect tube to quick disconnect and drain loop.
Moved the red PCI-E leads
