EvilGeniusJr Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 This was the Original 900, it was painted black (very poorly if I do say so myself ) and a couple of extra holes cut for wire routing. The psu was also flipped with a vent at the bottom. The hard drives were flipped around (and fan removed) and a hole cut in the HDD cage for the wires to exit straight behind the mobo panel. Wires were sleeved with paracord. Sleeving could have been a bit better but also a lot worse.Specs:i5 3570k @4.4ghz16GB Crucial Ballistic Sport 1600mhzAsRock Extreme4 Z77Sapphire 5750 (lol)Antec Kuhler 620 w/ Cougar V12 PWM fanOCZ Vertex 120GB SATA III SSDWD 500GB BlueWD 1.5TB GreenCrappy 600W Modular Rocketfish PSU (Cost me $20 and has been going 24/7 for 3 years now)Asus PCE-N53 N600 Wifi CardAsus Xonar DX Sound card (Not in Pics)Win 8 Pro x64I use it for light gaming, program development, a bit of CAD, and internet browsing, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 You wanna see bad painting, you'd have to see my case. You call your PSU crappy but it serves you loyally and problem free...that sounds like a reliable unit to me (though you aren't stressing it too much with your parts...)

I meant more of the brand though. I have used some other rocketfish products in the past that were terrible. My next upgrade will be a modern GPU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbaxm2 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 If you are going to only use a couple of drives you can use some anti vibration suspension kits and mount them below the cages. This will allow you to flip the drives and have no cables showing. When I did my 900 I ditched the HDD cages all together and made a few brackets to hold the fans in place. Looks good so far though!

Cool thanks! There's already another HHD and an SSD below that drive though so it will be a squeeze. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
