They're the standard Phanteks ones, I forget the model number. Impressively quiet, same with the Arctic ones.

Impressively quiet?? I tried them and they sounded like jet engines. Even at 50% they sounded loud to me. Immediately were replaced by 3 of these

Thankfully just W

Got my Phanteks P500a finished in a state I like.

(although just as I'm posting this I notice a few cables that need tidying further and 2 of the 3 Halos are the wrong way round so 1 showing the logo and the others not - I wish I'd not seen that now )

Very nice cases here, I'm looking to replace my Silencio 550, looking at the DEFINE 7 from Fractual. Anyone running one with pics?

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Any cases similar to the ThermalTake Core V21 lately? Essentially I'm after a case that could hypothetically house a 3090, ATX PSU, 240mm AIO, all whilst being as short as possible. The V21 would fit the bill, but it's getting on a bit now!

@Souleh That is sexy!

Nice build! The industrial design of the Founders Edition is practically made for that case (if you can call it a case... let's say frame). Had my eye on the xproto for a while, but that price. How are your VRM and Mobo temps? Optimum Tech's CPU/GPU benchmark results using open-air are too good to ignore, need to get one or something similar, but cheaper

Looks even better with the new card





Temps are really good - I have an additional VRM fan I installed and the arctic does great cooling. All below 70c on Time Spy.

Nice. You've done well to get hold of those cards!

Interesting. I’d love to see it after 2-4 weeks if you haven’t dusted it.

Got my Aklla A4v2 setup now. Only thing I'm waiting for is 3x Artic Slim P12 fans and a Thermaltake Toughfan 12 for the CPU.

It's a great case for the price - I modded the power button too; once I get the new fans I'll sort the cables .

The telegram groups are the key! MSRP all the way!

Compressed air is the plan. Couple weeks in and nothing to see so far.

Phanteks P360A. I like the case, not so much the fans, they have poor motor noise. Going to try some different ones.

 

[Pocket10s]

Just painted the top panel matt black! Came out well.

which telegram groups are those?

 

[xb8browney]

Hard-lined my pc, still got the side rad to actually connect up but I've already got the bends done just needs draining and adding which I'll do on the weekend.

That looks like a direct copy of the Ghost S1, from the outside.....perhaps a little bigger.

It's exactly that! I love the look of the Ghost S1 but the price and the QC wasn't up to scratch. Also, hardware and cooling compatibility is limited.

This was a lot cheaper and with some mods (painted the top panel, changed the power button) it's much more the look I want. Also it's space grey which I love. Hardware compatibility is much better and you can fit more fans with not a big sacrifice in terms of size (i.e. its not a huge case).

The quality is not as good as the Ghost S1 in terms of being CNC machined. But if you want that, Aklla do a A4 Pro version which looks amazing.

I'm really happy with the case for the price I paid.

Finished building my server in this case earlier today, hoping to get the gpu upgraded to something that'll allow me to do plex transcoding at some point soon. Also going to get a second 12TB WD Gold at some point to have in raid.

Specs are:

Ryzen 1600
16gb 3000mhz ddr4 (will be looking to upgrade to 32gb or 64gb at some point)
Gigabyte B550i Aorus Pro AX
Quadro FX 4800
WD Gold 12TB
WD Blue NVME 1TB
Corsair SF600

Apologies beforehand regarding the photography, not my strong point.

First itx build, although I know the Tower 100 case isn't the smallest of cases it is easily the smallest I have built in.

Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 are hard to work with, tubes are extremely stiff with so little give.

MSI Gaming X Trio 3080 just fits in this case, temps are surprisingly decent.

5800x is doing well on the 120mm Liquid Freezer ii AIO.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

The footprint is a little big, but it is worth it. It's a great looking case.
The micro server above, will be a bit toasty with that FX4800!

 

[Dark Side]

After years of ITX builds, finally back to ATX case, and 5000D is a big boy.

Yeah, I really like it so far, unfortunately haven’t had the time to get it all set up yet, hopefully the fx4800 isn’t too bad in the meantime One of my coworkers is gonna let me borrow a 1050 and some higher capacity ram, so that should be pretty good.
