"Agent 47" build in NZXT Manta

[MunneY]

Hello everyone.

Today I'm going to be starting a new build log in NZXT's newest case, the Manta. This is something I've personally bugged the crap out of them for, for the better part of 2 years. I was one of only a handful of reviewers to actually get a chance with it. Once I found out it was coming I got together with some folks and we bring to you...



47
Agent 47


So now that I've realized that the game comes out on March 11th, I'm going to center the build around the game. I've always been a massive fan and figure the white and black them will be perfect! I'll add some touches to make it seem like the perfect machine for the job, perfect Agent 47. It'll be fast, precise, powerful and portable.

Dude, that's like a 47L case! Think SFF < 20L and even at that, the smaller the better.

Stevo_ is right this case can't be considered SFF, it's like the 900D of ITX cases.

Yeah, it was kind of a joke :-D

Its small next to my custom parvum and Switch 810 :-D

I'm itching to get at a cerebarus

Hey folks,

This post has inspired another thread to discuss how SFF Forum should manage build logs and other threads that use larger enclosures. I'd encourage all of you to participate!

Actually...


So I finally had an off day and got to do some photos!

Lets start off with the power supply!

I chose the EVGA 650GS PSU for this build for a couple of reasons. It's just the right amount of wattage for the price point I was looking at, as well as being gold rated. It is only semi-modular, but I'm not to bothered by that!

Lets start with the box!

EVGA is #1

Full specs!

What all ya get in the box!

Nice all black flat cables. This is a HUGE Plus!

Even the non-modular cables are all black and the wrapping is not see through... +1 [@]EVGA-JacobF[/@]

MMMMM... I love peeling off stickers!

All together now... but something, just doesn't seem right for a build of this caliber!

Ah there we go!

REALLY Digging the color scheme now. I've never been a "RED" color guy, but it fits with this!

Special thanks to Ensourced Customs for the sweet extensions. He got them done in like 2 days and to my door in another 2. Couldn't ask for better service from a vendor, especially a small boutique one!
