To view this case mod, go here.



Specs:
Intel Core i7-2600K; 4.00 - 4.30 GHz
MSI Z77A-G43;
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 dual channel;
NVIDIA GTX 560Ti 2x not in SLI;
ADATA SP900 128GB SSD;
WD 500GB


The case is 20+ years old. It is from a very old server. I had to do some cutting to teach it a bit of cable management.
The GPUs are not installed in SLI as I don't game on this PC. I am only harvesting their CUDA performance for 3D rendering. The GPUs can do quite some heating so I normally run the case without side panels and with the two extra 120mm fans.

Very interesting, elegant case - what model is it? It certainly is something different and doesn't look that old. I like your setup, it's looking very good!

Actually I do not know. This case is really over 20 years old. It has an option to install an AT power supply :) I got it from a friend and I have found it kind of cool to fill it up with rather up to date HW. The black color and the meshes on the front are my work :)

Like I said, you did a very good job with reviving this "old" case - it has become something unique. :toast:

That explains why it looks so modern - very nice work. :) Also, there is so much space left to upgrade / fit new parts... I recommend you keep this very nice and special case for a long time! :cool:
