So, it's about time I built something long term. My Socket 2011 system will replace the SFFn Gold Sub Minecraft Server soon, so I need to build myself a long term system!
Specs:
Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN-Wifi
8GB G-Skill RAM
240gb OCZ Trion SSD
PSU unknown at this point
GIgabyte GTX 750 TI LP OC 2GB
In-Win BM639 Chassis
Prolimatech Samuel CPU cooler
The case! I picked this up used, along with a Core2Duo 3ghz, itx board, ram, and PSU for NZ$40
A rear shot. Insert joke here.
These are the parts that won't be installed back into the case.
This is the front panel. See those clips? They will be useful to know about as this thread continues.
The bare chassis. Not a bad layout, but lots of room for improvement.
And all the panels.
First mod - installing Silverstone SF-01 Sound Absorbing Foam, a standard mod for me now.
The panels are done too.
The board, and cooler. Keep in mind the RAM will change to a single orange DIMM, because reasons. (this black DIMM is 4GB, my 8GB DIMMs are orange!)
Installed, looking exciting!
And from another shot.
So, where's the fun bit? Well as you may have picked by the name, I have a kind of old school, beige kinda theme, reminiscent of the systems of the mid 80's. Here's a sneak peek - this part will be 3D printed. See those clips? They are copies of the OEM front panel's mounting setup. 3D printing has that advantage!
