New Look....clean up

[Seo360]

i have a XSPC RX240. you need a really small PSU if you want to fit anything bigger than 240mm

tnk

i don't have a small psu.. is a pro gold 1200w..

my idea is mod the under part of the case.. and raise the separator for put to lateral side the psu


sry for my bad english.. google translate

Upgraded to 3-Way SLI GTX580

[Seo360]

and liquid?

[Ogge_swe]

watercooled cards in a few weeks

[SIOUX]

The case looks realy sweet Ogge

[Batiatus]

@Ogge, I see that you have made some changes... looks good man =)

@Gonzalo - Why did you take out the divider between the MOBO section and PSU chamber? Is it your MOBO too long or the rad didn't fit?
Looks pretty good though.

[gonzalo88]

Batiatus the mobo is too long, fits right rad

[MikeMK]

Heres my latest effort:

[ChaosAD]

What kind of lcd is this?

[MikeMK]

Its a matrix orbital gx typhoon, although the mounting bracket is a custom one made out of a modded 800d face plate!

[ChaosAD]

Ok, i see, the custom bracked confused me :P Great rig you have there!

[MikeMK]

Thanks m8, glad u like it. I wanted to keep the nice clean look of the front of the 800d, hence the new facia/bracket for the orbital.

adding myself as a new owner, that just starting his first water cooling build with an obsidian 800d
could use experianced ppl's help

Kudo's to a lot of the builds in this thread. Very thoughtful and clean setups here! I'd love an Obsidian 800D myself, but it's hard to justify the cost. Especially since I purchased a Temjin TJ-10 right before these hit the market.

Unless you're water cooling I would never ever buy one and looking at your sig I don't think you are...(but if you are, they are great)

Yep, you're right, just air cooling here. I like how roomy it is in there. The TJ-10 is similar in layout, but Silverstone didn't make it nearly as easy for cable-management. I've got my setup as clean as I can, with wrapping wires around behind the motherboard, but it's still not as clean as I'd like it. The 800D looks like a dream to work with in relation to wire management.

Mostly, the TJ-10 doesn't leave enough space behind the motherboard and the right case panel to get all wires wrapped around behind. The side panel bulges horribly if I do. Otherwise I do like my current case. Again, I can't justify purchasing another full tower, just for the ease of wire management. But if I do come across some extra cash, it may be on the list.

What's the build quality like on the 800D, though? I've found the TJ-10 rattles at times because of flimsy aluminum used in places.

If you're asking me I don't know but if it's anything like thier 650D, I am satisfied (and I am very picky about quality of cases) It's about on par with Antec's cases when it comes to build quality. I had a TJ-10 once too and I didn't like it all that much (sorry) maily due to flimsy aluminum just like you pointed out. Cooler Master cases are the worst of them all with quality control...
