Small side project.

Bradley8988 · 23 Feb 2010 at 20:34

Ok last load of pics for awhile till the rear PSU plate is made and the hdd cage is moved so i can get it totally finished but as of now its up and running.

This was rushed but theres snow outside so had to cut in the house.

Now the cooler fits

Last parts, the 150w PicoPSU and 1TB sammy F3.

There was a hole already in the back of the case for the PSU plug so all went together quick.

Cheers.

Looks really neat that case i want one

Bradley8988 · 26 Feb 2010 at 18:53

Thanks guys. The F3 is pretty noisy so may try find a enclosure for it in the case but otherwise its totally silent. Turning the fan down from 1150rpm to 600rpm makes no difference to the noise.

that noctua looks so well made

Bradley8988 · 27 Feb 2010 at 17:04

Aye its a nice little cooler. Its even better without the ugly fan attached.

Very nice smart looking build, price is a bit steep though, guess if you wanted to you could skimp on some parts, but you said you didn't want to and it has come out very well.

Bradley8988 · 27 Feb 2010 at 17:27

Yea was steep. Not happy with the noise from the F3 either. My F1 is a lot quieter.

xBLiNG · 27 Feb 2010 at 17:48

Hmm I guess you have some noise cancelling planned? Or a quieter drive?

Bradley8988 · 27 Feb 2010 at 17:55

Dunno yet. I could return the drive i guess but windows is all installed now so cba to change it now.

xBLiNG · 27 Feb 2010 at 20:27

Yea hardly seems worth the effort tbh.

Bradley8988 · 2 Mar 2010 at 21:04

I forgot to put the wifi card in so had to dismantle and fit that so did alittle cable tidying too.

(Really low apature as shooting hand held so crappy pic)

Just waiting on PSU plate now. I actually found it plays the only old game i play with over 100fps average so pretty happy.

holy mother of god.. and i thought my cooler was big in that case

(no worries on the pic in the first post by the way lol)

Teaser of last piece of the puzzle.

Will finish the last pics of the build and upload them today/tomorrow.

Thanks.

Bradley8988 · 19 Mar 2010 at 20:19

K last update of the build. Its all done and dusted.

First is the Lian-li custom PSU cover made by Tom.

And the finished cube.

Comments and feedback welcome

Thanks Brad.

Very smat! No idea how that PSU works, but it's a nice build all the same. I'd change those thumbscrews on that nice new panel on the back for normal black case screws, but other than that it's fairly sweet!

Tis very very cute.
