[Project] Polished Orange/Blue Stacker 832 - (56k warning)

**Fujimitsu** · 10-30-2007, 07:03 AM

Fantastic look man, really like the shiny exterior with the bright interior.

Looks great, obviously took some planning!

**Crazy Chuckster** · 10-30-2007, 08:09 AM

Looks great! Nice planning and finish, the polished and black really looks good!

**CyberDruid** · 10-30-2007, 08:19 AM

Looks great. You really transformed that Stacker

**Zippydachamp** · 10-30-2007, 08:24 AM

I am truly inspired! You just gave me a better place to put a rad in my case .. Could maybe even fit a quad !

Ya.. The legs could use some hiding.

Looks fantastic other than that though.

Sweet Case!

the first thing i thought about when i saw this pic was those droids in Battlestar Galatica! That's pretty badass!

The legs happened pretty early in the build, I was trying to find something else but couldn't really come up with anything so It sort of just paned out while doing everything else. I looked high and low for some nice caster wheels, they were either to big or just didn't seem to fit the build. Maybe when I get some time I'll try to come up with some polished legs or something

Thats funny, someone over in the Stacker Slacker thread said the same thing.

WOW

that is a really beautiful Case. Great Job

**bball4ever39** · 10-31-2007, 05:07 PM

You could build a little skirt or such and get put it around the legs, anything to at least disguise them a bit.

**ACE76** · 10-31-2007, 05:46 PM

WOW!!

The case looks absolutely amazing...I'm not digging the extra length feet at the bottom but I guess it was necessary for what you built down there...the finish on that is just beautiful...hands down one of the best sand/polish jobs on a case I've seen.

Have you turned that mobo rack upside down?
Did it need modding or is it simple to do?

**mondocool** · 11-11-2007, 12:43 AM

You could send me that case couldn't you... you know for inspection...

The Stacker case is designed so that you can switch the MB tray to either side of the case, hence the reason it's upside down, I did had to move it to the other side so that I had more clearance in the bottom of the case, no need to mod it at all.

Actually when you own a Stacker and you start taking it apart and building your masterpiece you'll start to notice things that make you go "Oh My Gosh, the engineers who designed this thing thought of just about everything". The case is absolutely awesome, one thing to keep in mind is that the 830 series is really designed for air cooling so I'm sure you'll get different opinions about people saying it's not good for water cooling, but as you can see it can be modded for water cooling

Sure for a special price

Thank you ACE, it was many many hours of sanding

but it was worth it in the end.

**Nate P.** · 11-12-2007, 05:35 PM

WOW! Excellent job, looks stunning.

**Astratuner** · 11-25-2007, 11:23 AM

nice job and the way it looks... wauw

May i ask why u placed the thermochill 120.3 at the bottom ?

Is it bad to place it at the back or is it not possible due to it's size?

I'm asking cause i want to buy a new pc to with the 832 case with watercooling.

**Terru** · 11-25-2007, 12:31 PM

Very nice and clean look, super good finish and quality, one of the best case jobs I have ever seen, just fantastic.

Yes, the PA120.3 will not fit inside the case any other way. You may be able to fit it in the front but I would assume that you wouldn't be able to fit anything else in there. Actually placing it at the bottom worked out great. I have the rad at the bottom and the fans on the inside for a total of (6) 120mm fans. I have one in the front, one in the back and one at the top all of which exhaust the air. The three on the rad suck in cold air which blows over the motherboard components and everything stays pretty dang cool. On another note during the summer I can put my machine over the register in my house, turn on the AC and really cool it off

Thank you guys for all the kind compliments, it's much appreciated

**GameGuru** · 12-14-2007, 10:58 AM

Guys, unfortunately it's time for my baby to go, some of you already know this from the "Stack Slacker" thread but thought I'd post here as well. The wife and I are trying to come up with as much money as possible for a down payment on a house so as the saying goes " it's a sad day in mudville"

Most of everything will be over in the "For Sale" thread this weekend but if you want, PM me.

-Thanks

**Hillsdale** · 12-14-2007, 11:16 AM

Such a nice Rig. Omg.

**Glavir** · 12-29-2007, 08:49 AM

Very impressive work, it must be a pitty to sell this baby -(

**Nsidious9** · 01-05-2008, 10:34 AM

OK here's a dumb question, maybe I just overlooked it, but... I have the 830 (duh), BlackIceGTX 360, and 2 single 120 Rads and am using your placement at the bottom as my model.

Anyway, do your fans on the 360 suck in or blow out since they're in the case? I am going to be using 3 Scythe Ultra Kaze (133CFM) for my triple rad and didn't know whether I should be having them blow air in the case or out...

Im warning you man get those things on a controller, im using one right now and at the full 3000 rpm it is louder than all the rest of my fans put together. its quite nice and quiet at 2300 rpm though

**disruptfam** · 01-05-2008, 03:05 PM

or just get the 2000rpm versions
