Rig specs. asrock z68 extreme3 gen 3. 2500k @4.3ghz, 8gb kingston genesis memory. saphire 7870 ghz edition,

the card in these photo's is my old 5770. but here is my updated gallery http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?t=46311



as you can see i changed the window to a non vented. much nicer look





i love the black on black with a little red. takes a lot of white lighting to make it pop tho



due to the very sexy look of the shinobi i don't want anything to ruin it, so i fitted the fan controller facing in and outta sight. but still accessible if needed



i tried to minimize as much visible cabling as poss, however as we all know, some of it is kinda needed.



the down side of the cable management is all this at the back, was a bit of a challenge to get it all in and the back on. most of it is zip tied down, but the fan cables have been re-fitted several times so they are a bit of a mess, but it is hidden mess so i can live with that



i didn't even want my ssd in a hdd bay so i fitted it hidden in a 5 1/4 bay. The Blu-ray drive is hidden by a Bitfenix stealth drive bay cover, other than a gpu upgrade I want/need im very happy with my work

im not one to speak

but it would look better with painted the inside bare metal.

 

[garih]

thanks for the good feedback, it used to be a lot more blue. with the white lighting it looks a lot nicer

im not one to speak

but it would look better with painted the inside bare metal.

erm.. where is the bare metal??? other than the d14. the whole case is black

You gotta love the Shinobi for its simplicity and functionality.

Looks really nice, but you need to add rig specs in the post, sig specs won't do

Nice rig Mate, gotta love the Shinobi i just got mine and i love it Just spewing that i have the full wired version of the PSU you are using so cable management was a pain, but you have some nice hardware in there.

 

[airdeano]

niiiice...
suggestion:

velco SSD to behind the mobo tray (less cable management from the mobo to optibay),
move the HDD to optibay (piggy-back power harness), and move the fan controller to optibay.

in sata wiring, i'll use the molex to sata adapter and have less PSU taps.. and daisey chain
the molex rail. already you are already using molex for the fan controller... just an easier
idea to control wiring and tidyness...

your noctuas look white in the pix... bleached or just the lighting?

[garih]

the fans are just a bit bleached out from the flash. however. I think I will take your advice on the ssd. I need to rewire in order to fit some alchemy bits. I may fit the 2fan controllers on the back of the hdd cages.

 

[airdeano]

aye.. a move in minimalizing the space to hardware ratio..

looking good!
