Disquiet V2 Build Log - Ryzen, GTX 1080, Jonsbo W2, Air Cooled

[AngryGoldfish]

Here is the build log for my next build. It'll be my main and only system, replacing my Fractal Define R4 Disquiet V1 build that I've had since 2014. It'll be for general use and gaming. There won't be any modifications done to any of the components, but there will be a fair amount of work to be done; little details here and there. The build will be air cooled, with silence in mind.

A few pictures of the Jonsbo W2. I won't be taking any fancy pictures (sorry). Firstly because I don't have the equipment. Secondly I don't have the skill. Thirdly I don't have the patience. I'll do my best to take some nice outdoor shots when the build is finished, but indoor smartphone photos will be it for now.

its a nice looking case , looking forward to see what you do

Very nice ! Bigger than I thought it was but that isn't a bad thing I've had a Jonsbo so I know what to expect. The quality is of Apple calibre.

Volume wise the W2 is around 42000cm3 while the Define R4 is around 56000cm3. It's big depending on which angle you look at it (TWSS).

The quality is definitely there, but there are a couple of minor finish flaws. Nothing that I would care about, but certainly something I wouldn't likely see from the Case Labs BH8 which was the other chassis I was considering.

GPU and fans arrived. The fans are incredible looking and feeling. Sleeving is excellent, heatshrink right up until the jack, black cables when entering the fan and motor, rubber mounts. They're worth the price so far.

Also, the GPU is massive. It's an absolute beast. I love it. I'll definitely be picking up a GPU support bracket. TantricModZ never got back to me about ordering one from him, though, so I might buy one from MNPCTECH instead.

Question:

With the way the fans are orientated, I will have four intaking air. That means the rear sticker will be visible. To keep the fan cables positioned to the rear of the case so they can be kept neat and tidy, should I remove the sticker and turn it around so that the logo is orientated the correct way?

This will be the best way for cable management:



But the sticker would be better this way up obviously:



Is it worth it to remove them and replace them the other way around?
