Finally got the AM4 bracket for my C7 in so the system is finally sealed! Still some additional cable management that I'll do come it's first routine cleaning when I'm taking more stuff out. C7 is outperforming expectations with the 2700x - Prime95 has been running for 20 minutes and it...

Yeah, I'm not much of an RGB head but I'm tempted to keep the fan and try to mod it onto something later. The patterns it goes through are pretty soothing haha.

Couple of quick shots with the case layout + the GPU ports. Like I mentioned before, cable management is pretty dirty ATM and needs a cleanup later on, but mostly making sure everything was working. Placeholder CPU fan taking up as much space as humanly possible haha. No issues with the GPU ports.

Yeah, I would've gone with just a 2600 or 2700 but I got the 2700x for about 60 bucks off so I figured might as well and sort out the cooling later. Worst case I can just clock it down to the base level until I figure out a better cooling solution. Will definitely post pictures when I get the...

Update on mine: Finally got my parts in after some shipping delays. Overall, the build process was a lot easier than I expected, especially as I was using the default Corsair cables (outside of some SATA power splitters) for most of the wiring process. Cable management is currently a bit of a...

Thanks for the tips! I'll look for those to help out with the build process. Cables are always the most troublesome part, but as you said the cable tie mounts should make life a good bit easier.

Yup, my current system is ~5 years old and is really showing its age (I'm down to one working eSATA port on the motherboard for example...) so the only thing I'm migrating is some SSDs. This is my first SFF build as well, so it'll definitely be a learning experience but with how well thought out...

My case just got delivered today, and I have to say the build quality and packaging are both absolutely top notch. The case itself has a terrific weight to it and feels and looks great. All the assorted parts fit very neatly inside the case and there is very little movement to anything inside...
