[Project Log] Pinnacle 24
Well, I thought about it, and thought about it. I didn't do a case log for my Cosmos water cooling, so Why not with this HUGE build? So, without Further a due..
Qan[T]
For this Project Log, I'll be using the following
What's going in it.
Now get to the nitty gritty!
The Mountain Mod's is one of the most famous CYO (create your own) case makers around. With a lot of abilities to Make any case you own, a work of art. Just one little catch. Pricey As FLOP!! But, hey.. If I am going to go all out, why not Grab one of the best as well? So, I picked up the Pinnacle 24 case.
For the Pinnacle 24 case, I went with the (Black Mirrored Powder Coat) paint job with a Quad HW Top. The case came very well made, and shipped. Came in 2 boxes, and everything was plastic wrapped, then wrapped together again. But, it took me 30 some mins to unwrap it all!
There as you can see is all the parts that came with it. As well as two buttons for the front panel. I can say it is quite nice to see the bottoms as they where. I all ready have a self made, (thanks RM!) switch box, so I won't be using them on this. So, gotta find something that I can fill those two spots.. Lol.
The case wasn't that hard to put together. Yes, as myself being a man, I said Flop the on-line instructions. It's a very easy build to do since hell, if you know your way around building things, there isn't anything hard about it. So, building it took around 2 hours to do. Would of took less but, I stopped to take pictures, and texted it up with JRracin.
I think the best thing about the case, is the Mobo tray that is added to the case.
It's not like the picture that is shown at MM, but I'm very happy with it since it has the Cut on the Mobo for the bracket of the CPU, and better ventilation.
I say it for the fact that it really makes the case "step out" as being a "box"... But, I do have to say that the case is a case for Modular PSu's only.. Unless you want to rewire the PSU to need only what is needed.. Hiding wires looks like a PITA.. I don't really know since I still need the water set-up before I can do any more.. But, that doesn't stop me from building the case
Bay drive, and the "Patented" 120mm fan hdd rack
Now, even though I don't have all the parts together, why not set up a Mock set-up??? I mean, I do have things "laying" around..
So, here it is with the following
As you can see the cut is a nice touch to the Mobo tray. It allows for better access for the CPU bracket systems that are out there, Also push pin methods, and ventilation. Plus, if you look at the bottom right of the back of the mobo tray, is the cuts for Slots of the mobo. Very nicely done, but unless you've used those slots a few times.. It's a PITA to use.. Gotta force it.. Made me feel like.. Well, you know...
Oops... I didn't notice till now, I had the side panel upside down... lol.. Gotta remember to not do that the next time!
Now, as you can see from the last picture I posted. It has a good amount of room between the side panel and mobo tray.. But, unless it's Modular... Not a great looking for cable management. IMO at lease..
Well, that's all I have done for now.. I'll have more coming in the next few weeks. I now gotta order more of my stuff, and try to find time to do it once it all comes in... Work is 90% of my life, and may have 1 day off a week.. So, Blah.. lol
I do have to thank those who I have bought stuff from to get this stuff going. Fit's and Cyberdruid from here I give a big thanks to. But, there is one I really have to give the thanks to....
