Inwin 901 itx build

[Feronix]

It lighted up? I unno tbh.
I'll stick with the H75 then, urgh I really want to do the build, its killing me not being able to get absolutely eveything and get it done .
haha go for it .

Not worth it imo matey. The LED fan will probably only be annoying anyway, considering it's mounted outside the case.

I know that feeling. Though I should have my funds together by Thursday if everything goes as planned. Then I'll just buy everything in one go, no looking back :lol:

Thing is I CAN buy everything right now if I wanted but I have to wait. ;-; Might actually start on my other rig at this rate...

Why do you have to wait then, if you don't mind me asking?

This is going to be my next build and project for wife. I love what you have done so far.

I am wondering how this would be with the pumptop of the 240l glacier BUT using 2 seperate 120 mm rads - one at the back and one in the intake fan spot.

I am thinking of putting it paired up with a GTX 750ti WITH a waterblock and the CPU a i3-4130 OR a i5-4440. But as its for my wife and some LIGHT LIGHT gaming then I would say the I3-4130 would be more than enough.

*edit* Ohhh and with the Back Plate ofcourse!

Their really isn't sufficient space for a loop I'm afraid. You could do a loop in the 904 but this one really has not enough space IMO.The radiators would both need to be very thin as well :I.

I know the space is very limited, that is why I am thinking of just the pumptop of the 240l glacier or even just the old Eisberg pump:

Combined with 2 thin rads as there will be no OC for the GPU (i3-4130) and maybe a slight OC for the 750ti so I think 2x 120 rads will be able to handle that with no problem. :huh:

* With either the XSPC EX120:

Or even the XSPC rs series.

Avert your eyes to the OP, I've finally made some progress!

OP

 

[Feronix]

Ooooh shiny new hardware!

Sweet spec list matey. Why did you swap out the PSU?

 

[MadShadow]

Nice specs there! What is that mouse and is it actually any good? I think I saw it on Amazon before.

Its alright now I've fixed the issue where it would think I was left clicking. I shot my friend on DayZ because of it :/. Its very chunky.

Because white cables don't suit the pre braided black cables that come in the case and I put the RM 550 with white cables in my pentium rig. Again overkill but atleast the fan will never spin in it :').

Personally that order was the most I've ever spent on pc parts.

 

[Wraith]

This is going to be eye candy when finished, I'm doing my usual today of hiding every cable I possibly can and some blanking panels are being added.

I wish I could hide the back. The glass is behind the motherboard tray as well meaning I need to get it perfect both sides.

 

[Wraith]

Yeah I had similar issues with my acrylic case, just ended up covering it up and pretending it wasn't there. :/

 

[MadShadow]

Hey, I think I just saw this build on the KitGuru page

possibly


Yeah I thought I'd share it to see what happened.

 

[MadShadow]

possibly

Yeah, that was you

 

[barnsley]

Yeah, that was you

yep . I was going to share one rig but I thought my custom loop pentium would bring out the more angry people on facebook :').

 

[Wargod56]

Saw this case at Insomnia I love it to bits, I would love to get the 904 if it fit budget for my next build.

 

[You_What?]

Popping back in, did you complete this barnsley?

Gathering so, what happened to the cable management, a finished product pic would be great, ta!

Yep, typing on it now. Cable management is a pain (it only looks good from the side with the gpu, trust me). If you get a motherboard that has the various i/os and power pins in a different place (such as my z87 gaming). Because of that, I have no front usb, no light up power button and had to take the case apart to get the 24 pin to fit. It'd be better with another motherboard . The case is designed with itx 'boards that have the 24pin next to the ram slots. Also Thermal performance is pretty poor. I'm running a 650w bitfenix psu and the metal around it gets very warm for example, don't think a passive power supply would be happy in it at all. You HAVE to get a reference card and even then temperatures won't be ideal. That said I'd imagine the 970/980s would work very well with this. Noise is also an issue, its incredibly quiet when not under heavy load (fan wise I have an sp120 for the rad in push and a very slow moving antec silent fan for the intake near the gpu) but when it ramps up and gets warm (the whole case gets warm to the touch I might add) its pretty noisy. In all, you really have to plan for this case and choose your parts around what you want the pc to do. I mean, really plan. I've had to order more extension cables then I ever thought I would just so I could use the case's power button. The biggest fault it has imo is that you have to take the side panel off to put anything in the rear i/o. This is due to the way you have to mount the AIO's rad.

It looks great though. If you like to have a rig that isn't the norm, its the case to have. So many damn faults but I have to say its still probably my fave itx case out there.
