[ruthless_villain]

Well i finally finished my rig, started of as a low-mid end gaming rig and now it is pretty good imo

specs:

i5 2500k

Gtx 560ti

Corsair 700D

F3 1TB 7200RPM

4GB RAM

NH-D14

P67A-G55 MSI

Corsair HX750W

Creative soundblaster audigy

now to the pics

its a box

How it eats the phantom

Xigmatek Fans look awesome

and final product, no photo of the back because putting the panel on is a pain in the...

desk area

sorry for pics taken on my phone, actually saw a temperature drop from the phantom, around 6 degrees, with 2 spiro 100cfm fans intaking and 3 xigmatek fans exhausting, gpu temps are pretty similiar though

Get rid of the case badges and your power supply should come with SATA connectors you don't need to use molex to SATA adaptors.

But i wanted to

one less cable to tidy up you see as i had to use molex for case fan and the fan controller taking case badges of as i type just got to get some rubbing alcohol for residue

 

[Grizzly]

You can tuck the molex connectors down behind your PSU and the cable reaches tidily round the edge to that bottom corner.

That's what I've been able to do at least.

Hmmm, I some how missed this thread today

Looking good Ruthless, I prefer the normal Phantom over that one but each to his own, either way it still looks good

Each to their own mate, being different is a good thing.

will most probably be moving to a water cooled 700d soon so will have to sell it anyways

I'm loving the matt red accenting stripes, they really work on the Phantom's shape. Also glad you're scrubbing the six different shape, size and colour badges.

But I noticed some anomalies; did your Phantom come with two oval grommets missing, are you trying to reuse those zip-ties by not snipping the excess off?

I csn see you worked hard to avoid overlapping cables at the back. But the PCI-e, SATA and front panel cables if they have enough slack, they could feasibly all run from the single squarer hole next to the PSU with the front panel cables hiding behind the PSU. Anal... I know, but who wants a bird's nest when there's room to improve.

grommets, the old mushkin power supply made them fall out... spent £900 on a pc i can spare 99p for some zip ties just when i get my new case it will be a pain in the arse to take out...will sort out rest of the cables when i move case

What have you got in replacement for the size panel?,an acrylic sheet?,cant really tell from the pics,but if there's nothing there,it's gonna pick up dust pretty well inside the case.
