And
I sold the 2nd GTX 770 figuring it was a waste of electric for a smidge of extra eye candy so went mini-ITX for the gaming rig since the onboard audio was excellent on the HTPC.
Specs going into this one are.
Corsair AX860i
Gigabyte GA-Z97N-GAMING-5, I was that impressed with it I bought a 2nd one. :D
i5-4690K @4.3ghz
Noctua NH-D14
8GB DDR3
4GB GTX 770
256GB SSD
1TB HDD
So with the mini-ITX spec I designed & made a new case more suited.
And I'm calling it, Cubeydoodar. :P
The mesh will have to wait but what you see here took 2 good sessions, I loosely based the internal layout on a Lian Li case I like, supports 300mm GPU & 170mm CPU cooler, 1 HDD, 1 SSD, ATX PSU, was thinking back to basics on this one.
I did the panel edges bevelled like on the NUC project for nice sharp edges & used 10x 10mm nut blocks.
I'll post again when it's complete.
And yes, this means the ATX case isn't going to be used & this is probably the messiest project log evar, woooo. :D:P
Added mesh, a window, USB 3 ports & a vandal switch, also painted the front & back panels a metallic graphite grey.
And it's now good to use so see you when I feel like making a much lower profile HTPC or decide to make a new case for the ps4. :)
Took a few shots of the original idea for closure.
It's a wrap, no hardware to put in these so empty systems is the finale on this one.
Awesome work Waynio! It's a bummer you don't have awesome kit to put in there.
Very very nice. :)
