[Case Gallery] Tempest EVO i7 v1.0

johnnyfiive · Dec 22, 2009, 06:36 PM

To view this case mod, go here.

Specs:
Intel i7 920 (D0) @ 4.2GHz (HT On) Processor
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 Motherboard
Kingston 3x1GB DDR3 2000 @ 1600MHz 8-8-8-18 Memory
ATi XFX 4870X2 Video Card
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Sound Card
Topower Tiger Series 1200W Power Supply
NZXT Tempest EVO Case
Noctua NH-D14 CPU Heatsink
Western Digital Raptor 74GB SATA 10,000RPM
Seagate Barracuda 320GB SATA 7,200RPM
Samsung DVD/RW +/- Optical Drive

Mods:
The only real modifications or changes worth mentioning was the cable management I was able to accomplish. From the looks of it, it doesn't seem like much is done but what you don't see is the taped down cables behind the HD cages, the taped down front panel cables under the motherboard and the lemmings line of molex connections that power the fans. :)

This was a clean simple build with function over form in mind. The NZXT Tempest EVO case is very similar to the Antec 900 but it does have some cable management options that make it stand out. All in all, this build up was for normal use, no real bells and whistles. Just functionality.

These low scores and no comments are annoying. :)

Well it's not really much of a mod... but the EVO is sexy as hell and deserves 5 points just by itself... + your nice hardware so I'll give you a 7.

Is a case gallery, not a mod gallery.
