Nice case, nice hardware and a person who knows how to make beautiful things

[evil-98]

very nice, how do you like the case?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

very nice, how do you like the case?

All black and it has some really great features This thing is gonna be REALLY quiet I can tell you already. These scythe gentle typhoon fans I got for it are amazingly silent and still push a lot of air.

Ive got 1850 rpm ones for the cpu air tunnel and 800rpm ones for the other slots. I turned on the 1850rpm fans and I had to check the box to make sure that I hadn't grabbed an 800rpm one....

Nice case, nice hardware and a person who knows how to make beautiful things

thanks I dont have any sleeving here at school, but I've got some zipties and heatshrink to work with.... I will be bringing it home next weekend so it will get finishing touches when I have my full arsenal of tools

[burthouse]

very nice, cant wait to see more pictures once you get it done

[Ronnie Coleman]

Star of the build is, definitely, Lian-Li X500. Big, black and elegant. Tough case. SSD is also cute and those Scythe Gentle Typhoons are looking hardcore. (:

Sniipe Dogg, why are you selling the Permafrost?!! It's the next best thing other than sliced bread

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

I have a bunch of pics for you guys but they wont be up till later the computer is finished right now, I need to buy a copy of windows for it but other than that it is ready to rock. it is SO quiet, its ridiculous!

@Ikiller - I need money for hardware in my next build that will be over the top amazing!

[Blankeee]

I love that case!

Good show

[lkiller123]

looking foward to it sniipe

[breathemetal]

I love this case.
Lookin forward to this build.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Sorry this took me so long to put up... damn girlfriend was jerking me around over our breakup/break/BS so I didnt make it back to the room for a while.

The x500 , Its a very slick case


One of the big quiet factors of this case is the foam on the panels


Fans, these gentle typhoons are incredible fans, 1850 rpm model is the same noise level as a yate slow



the fan on the left is an 800rpm model and the fan on the right is an 1850


SSD these things are small and light incase you guys didnt already know....one problem is how the heck do you mount the thing...


I was lucky enough to come across a bit of genius when looking for a mounting solution


Motherboard ram and CPU ready to rock


Sorry about the flash in this pic... the sun had set and the room got pretty dark.


PSU installed


Board in the case


XFX ATI 4650 - great little card


Finished Wired and good to go


SSD in the wild


This SD800 sucks the big one as far as cameras I am used to shooting with.... but I still managed to have some fun

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

Also I forgot to mention, I went over to the campus computer store and I found out that I can get copies of vista ultimate 32-bit for only $20

[yaddam205]

Great cable management and a nice system. Fantastic choice in case too, It's hard not to love a blacked out interior.

[CaptMorgan]

That case is freakin Beautiful-I think I am in love with that case. Great Job

[burthouse]

great job with cable management and well done build

[theToX]

love that case and the build. i considered that one but picked the FT-01 instead.

[karl_eller]

That's a pretty nice build. Although why did you go for an mATX board in an ATX case?

With 6 Gb of RAM, a 64-bit OS is a must. Although if it's not an OEM disk, the license will cover a 64-bit install too, you just need a 64-bit disk.

watercooling later on probably summer sometime.....

and yeah for now I will be putting in the 32-bit and later on I will probably just buy an upgrade license and use my 64-bit disk I have at home.

[breathemetal]

Nice build

[ILikeCosmosS]

great hey snipe how do you vista really cheap?
64bit that is

how much cfm do those typoons pull?
i was getting yateloon mediums but if these are under 10 bucks i will get them

[Osterman]

Excellent job sniipe... just like always

[HuffPCair]

That is a sexy case. Nice build

[breathemetal]

im definitely getting this case.
now to decide between the GENE and the Bloodrage...
and NVIDIA or ATI...

[Mark90]

All that nice stuff and you put in a HD4650:/. Should have put a 4850, or even a 4870 or their Nvidia equivalent.
