project 1 is to be a somewhat conservative look of getting the job done well. so i looked around and started with the case:
picked as it was a nice looking or "smart" looking case that included a good enough PSU fo rthe project 2 as my main rig has a PSU already to be used in this one. anyway the coling potential is immense as well as the modding potential IMHO. this is to be a reasonably OC'd 939 internally watercooled rig with a focus on maintaining great cooling but quietly. the GF hates noise...and im not a fan of it either.pros: the drives and cards lock into place without needing screws. the case itself is easy to really work on and its rather solid.
only gripe: not a removeable mobo tray......but theres AMPLE room to work with for hiding wires/cables/lines.
i will follow this up with pictures taken along the way as a "how to build a computer in general" sequence, (ive always wanted to do that...
)but also a nice modding sequence. itll be a while till i update this as im into project-0 (rescue a rig first) then ill get on with it. one hint tho.....stainless....
