After:

I used a 3” hole saw, c-strip rubber fan molding, skull and cross bones laser cut fan grill w/ net guard, vantec 80mm blue/green spectrum uv led fan.

My first custom built computer, my first pc mod, many more to come.

Please comment, I would like to know what you think.

Thank you

i would love to have one of those cases but they do not make them anymore and are hard to find so i am settling with this case which i am going to get soon,

what kind of case is that?

I have no idea what brand it is.. It was a super cheapo case I found at my local computer shop and bought for like $30.. I had spent most of the money I had at the time on the computer components, and didn't have much left for a decent case. It's worked out pretty well though, and I like the handle on top.. Helps a lot!

My rig: Nothing special but need to get afew mote things to complete my set up (LIKE TIDY THOES F$%&*NG cables)

I have recently just added

CoolerMaster Aquagate watercooling kit (overclocking)

Vantec Spectrum UV Fan Card ( to increase airflow and getting cool air to my VGA )

Lian Li 120mm Blower Fan ( to remove hot air from the VGA )

Cold Cathode Light Kit - UV

I will be adding more neons and i will cable sleeve the excess wires so that airflow increases and that it looks better too :cool:

I actually built my own cube case. I ended up tearing apart a super cheapo case for the drive racks and mobo tray, but heres some pics

heres a pic from the very begining when it was pretty much just a frame still..

I also decided to go with dual power supplies, mostly because i could. these turn on and power off together thanks to a lil rewiring, well worht it though. also note the sweet fan grills, and imagine those fans lighting up to blue

IM001583.jpg

heres a good side view pic while the case is empty, you can see the blue fans with scorption fan grils and the two PSUs with their car casings.

time for the good stuff, post production pics..

Sorry for all the pics, but i dont generally get a real good chance to show this thing off. I ended up sleeving all the wires with blue uv reactive sleeving. all ide cables are rounded and uv reactive.

theres 1 blue cathode and 2 uv cathodes along with 4x 120mm fans, 5x 80mm fans (and thats not counting PSU cand CPU fans).

To control all this stuff i put in 5 switches in the front that light up clue when lit.

Just got done watercooling my Gigabyte Aurora, leak testing it at the moment hence power cable not plugged in and somewhat untidy cables. I know a lot of people dislike this case, but personally I think it's great.

Thats a very nice setup there Brodel. I am abit worried about that VGA block putting alot of weight on to the card which looks like it will snap or something. Nice kit tho :angry: lol

Thanks, yea it does look as if it puts a lot of weight on it but to be honest it's fine. I think the photo makes it looks worse than it is, the hose supports a lot of the weight and it isn't actually that heavy anyway, a lot lighter than the old Maze 4 blocks that's for sure.

Hehe ah i understand. so what kind of tubing is that brodel you have there? 1/2"? and that is a Maze4 block on the GPU? looks very sweet your kit.

Yea, that's the 1/2" tubing and Maze4, tdx on the cpu. :)

one warning on the maze 4 though, mounting ram sinks is a complete bitch. lol

LOL. yea i already have zalman ramsinks and by the look of things, you do aswell. That tubing looks quite fat looking at it from that pciture. Those clamps you have, what size are they? ill need about the same as you which is 10 at least to complete the loop. and what kind of coolant and your is in your system?

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
