    Log Obsidian - Picture Frame Minimal Build

    Hello all, I've got another small build completed. The goal of this build was to make the cleanest, smallest, most simplistic build I could with this idea for a 'case' I've had in mind. I tested out a couple of things and ended up completing the build before I could get a work log going, so for...

    It's on the back, I have a HDPlex on the back with a extension cable going to the MoBo.

    Yeah I think that's the program I found and had too many issues with it. It would be great to see someone update it or recreate the program. If I happen to figure something out I'll be sure to post it :)

    Hey all, sorry for the late replies, I've been working on another project recently and its been taking up my extra time. Yup, I actually got a second Chopin Case and used the Side panel from the second one. You can see that the color of the case actually changes during the worklog, thats...

    I'm not sure, There is a small amount of room above the graphic card but I don't think nearly enough to have a 25mm fan there. Just from eye balling it I think there is only maybe another 5mm to work with but the PCI ribbon is also there so it would probably just be way too tight.

    Oh how that's an amazing case, Thanks for the link I'll be sure to look through the buildlogs.

    Nope I had no idea if it would fit or not. There was a point were I was about to just give up because the riser caused the case to be too wide but I remembered I could use the protruding side panel to help make everything fit. Thanks you! It turned out much better than I expected! Thank you...

    Thanks for the feedback! I actually used a dremel for all the cuts, The unibody ended up giving me the most trouble due to its thickness.

    Here are the Thermals: I tested the system in two configurations, either standing on its feet or laying on the front panel for maximum air flow. First Configuration - Standing on Feet With 100% GPU Fan Speed: Furmark at 1080p with 0xAA 3DMark Skydiver Stress Test (with Markers) Adia...

    Thanks! Yup I'm looking into getting a mesh of some kind for the bottom to also hide the dents that the bottom of the case got while I was cutting a hole for the GPU to intake air. In the future I'd also like a better mounting for the fans on the GPU.

    Here are the final pictures for the project along with some comparisons to show the size of the build. I hope you guys enjoyed the build as much as I did. I'm still trying to add some more thermals and benchmarks so I will be adding them soonish sorry for that wait.

    Thanks! I'm actually amazing the case was able to fit everything. If any of the dimensions of the case or the side panel were just a mm shorter the case wouldn't have worked XD Thanks! I wanted to be sure to include as many photos of the process as I could.

    So this is what the system looked like with the original cut I did. To begin with I was hoping the middle fan would breathe through the new hole and the other two fans would breathe through the small gaps that the legs create but the thermals where barley decent this way. So I decided to cut the...

    Thanks! Yeah it was difficult but its possible, But from what you'll see from the next update its only really possible when you use the extruding mesh side-panel on the back because the riser still goes past the width of the case. I'll post the last update in a couple hours with some final...
