I wish more cases were like that

Its more heat efficient, since hot air rises you don't get the hot air from the graphics card to the cpu, it makes its own wind tunnel

[altern]

What's the name of cases like that? I've seen a few before.

It's in his post.

[altern]

With the different motherboard position

Edited:

not the actual case. the style, i suppose. TTL had a white one in one of his videos awhile ago

[Makol]

The one he gave to Mr Strawberry?

Edited:

That was the RV02.

[altern]

that's the one. Is silverstone the only manufacturer that flips the motherboard like that?

[Makol]

Not sure, but they are the only manufacturer with cases like that from what I have seen.

[altern]

Jesus christ. The RV02 costs a little less than what I was planning to spend on Ivy Bridge upgrades

Innuendos never refer to the sexual act in an obvious way.

Some older photos of my PC, still what it looks like now





Full specs
The CPU is actually an FX 8120 but i dunno why Speccy shows it like that

case is the HAF 922

Don't remember if I have posted these yet.




I'm going to fix up the cable management once the rest of them arrive.

[milkandcooki]

Hey, everything here looks good for a first time mid-end build, nothing wr-



NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

[HendoV2]

oh god ^

[Goz3rr]

Why even bother with a transparent side panel if you don't even attempt to do some cablemanagement..

[Dr McNinja]

I admit sometimes cable management can be really hard, but most of the time It's not THAT hard. I don't know, I just can't imagine not spending time doing it. Especially if I've got a window.

[dije]

You just tuck it away in the backpanel and you're done

Edited:

Forgot to mention: The picture is about 4 months old

[Makol]

Uh.

What's going on with that loop there?

Edited:

Also.

Bendy card. lol

Thats why i prefer Verticle mounting cases, because of things like that =P

[Makol]

No, it's that he bought a card with an oversized cooler that really doesn't do much but bend the card.

[Bredirish123]

I just did the impossible; I was able to do nice looking cable management in my Raidmax Smilodon case. Mind you, there literally is no cable management space, so I did some fine tucking and cable routing tricks that make it look nice on the inside. I'll prolly take pictures in a bit to show you all.

One very tiny miniscule problem with your PC


bulldozer

[altern]

I hate the look of the RV-03, but the RV-02E is so expensive!

[Makol]

There's like barely any difference between the two besides how the motherboard is installed.

The rest is pretty minor externally.

But the RV-02 does look a bit cleaner.

[altern]

The RV-03 looks a little too "gamer" for my preferences. The RV-02 is sex

I don't get why people have cable management troubles, especially those with really good cases. My 690 is horrid for cable management, but I can make it work if I put like an hour of effort into it.



I mean if I do it with fucking this



Surely some of you can do better. Hell, I even pulled it off with a non modular PSU.

[Makol]

I was really lazy with my cable management.

I'm not going to put in much effort until the rest of my Bitfenix cables arrive. Plus I need to buy some more zip ties.

[milkandcooki]

I have a Cooler Master Elite 430.

From what I can tell, there's no area behind the mobo to put cables.

It's actually not that bad for cable management. The orientation of your HDD bay means that the HDD data and power cables go straight to the back cavity. You don't have CM holes, but the shortened MB tray acts in basically the same manner. Your case is also generally pretty spacious and it doesn't look like you have many bays full. Still, this stuff doesn't detract from the fact that you actually spent time and effort and ended up with clean look and airflow.

What is that card-supporting doohickey you have there? I noticed my card was bending the other day and I ordered a cardkeeper, but I like the look of yours better. My thing is plastic and it looks like it will get in the way if I add a second card with heatpipes that go over higher than the top of the PCB.

[Makol]

It came with the case. I'm just using it to cover up the red parts of the two cards.

Can you have the fan on the sidepanel on at the same time?

aha no
there is lots of room there, if the side doesn't go on, you're not trying hard enough.

If you moved cables a round and used zip ties it would most likely fit.

[Alexmorriz]

Got my new case today, and had the wonderful chore of moving from one case to another - This was my original result:


After realising that was ridiculous i started from scratch and it came out like this:


I'd say it was mostly successful. Specs of the computer are:
