More to come as I clean it out.

Cool! Is that a handle at the top or just for looks?

 

[Soul_Est]

That is a functional handle. The case was designed and built for carrying the computer (Renton) by the handle. The force is distributed along the front, back, and sides to the bottom of the case.

Partially disassembled. Now to clean the fans and heat sinks.

K'nex, now that's a blast from the past !

I used to spend hours upon hours playing with K'NEX as a child. Amazing what could be achieved with it, as shown here!

Only issue with open air cases on a dusty room? DUST!

While I would have liked to upgrade the cooling system earlier in Renton's life, this will have to do. One ARCTIC F8 fan over a stock Intel heat sink on the CPU and one Delta fan over the heat sink on the GPU. They do the job well enough.

Little space between the power supply and the motherboard.

An attempt at better cable management.

 

[Soul_Est]

Video card and USB 3.0 card installed.

Added the right side panel and installed the SSD and HDD.

All done and thank you for following along.
