Bloodsport - a poor man's NCASE M1 with watercooling

Just my humble gaming machine happens because I found this case for a good price, the Primo P115





Specs:
4690k @ 4.5ghz + CM Seidon 120V
H97I-PLUS
8GB 1600 C7
Galax/KFA2 GTX1060 3GB OC
krpw-sx400w/90+
Crucial MX200 + WD 1TB


The original plan was to fit my 290 and an ATX psu in there but it got too crowded and too hot, as this case's airflow design sucks, no ventilation in the GPU area








so I decided to get an SFX 400W psu and a GTX1060 instead











sleeving an old server 80mm fan







The final build











as I mentioned this case's design sucks at parts, the GPU height is very restrictive, and even when I'm using a standard height card with extension cables it protrudes over the side panel, so custom acrylic panel came to the rescue












I think it looks nice enough consider the case only costs 1/6th the price of an NCASE M1
thanks for vewing


// will post more pictures and a new custom side panel is coming, thanks

Welcome to the P115 owners club (2 people now!)

I am the owner of the P115EA. Great build quality for the price, but I don't like the PSU positioning.

Tidy build you have there. Nice job! Are those neodymium magnets holding the acrylic panel on?

Also from where did you order the custom panel?

yes, the design is very poor, but for the price it's ok :D

Now this is what I call pod racing :D
cheers :D
