Second Build - University

Looking nice! I'm considering getting this case, can you take the bottom 4 HDD cages out like the advanced?

ah yea, thanks for pointing that out for me. Guess ill get the basic and save some cash! Only going to have an SSD & HD, so remove the bottom 4 cages and create some better airflow. CHEERS!

the BIG difference - i would say - is that there is no top hot swap bay which for me is a bit annoying
 
My build is pretty basic, all I want is good cable management and airflow. This case comes with 2 fans (dead quiet) and room for my CPU watercooler rad @ the top :)

this case has excellent airflow, i would have much preferred if it had rubber grommets for the cable management - but never mind

This case comes with 2 fans (dead quiet)

yep they're pretty quiet - bare in mind there is less fans on the basic than the advanced - but i changed all mine out with 140mm xigmatel ones anyway

and room for my CPU watercooler rad @ the top :)

must be quite a skinny rad unless you are planning on modding

Don't mean to sound disrespectful but you've not really done much by way of a project for sponsorship...you've just built a rig. If you had done lots of modding or something then I could expect seeing sponsorship info but for just building a pc...am I missing something?
 
i know i have not updated in a while, but i was having a think the other day about the tidiest loop to watercool

im not sure about what computer i would so it to, my home or uni one

I have very limited knowledge of watercooling, but i like to dabble into different things :p

I got the idea as i really like external radiators, but i dont like how really long pipes look - i think it starts to look cheap with very long pipes

this is the first idea with a bay res/pump



but i have heard that the bay res/pump are not that strong, reliable, etc etc

so the second idea was to remove the bottom hard drive ass there are no drives in there and put one of those standalone pump/res things

this also gets rid of the difficult pipe bend at the bottom of the graphics card



tell me what you think, add any other suggestions, etc :)
