Yes... I like em small...but accommodating.
I'm undecided... I may put both in the 3.5" bays... really depends on where I can stuff a Thermaltake fan hub I have on the way...
I like both options but its probably going to be decided by fan wire lengths.

sh!t, i wouldve given you my Thermaltake Fan hub ....i bought one years back, and no longer use it. theyre pretty decent tho, makes controlling a bunch of fans easier, i dont use many fans tho, so it wasnt needed any longer. just need a sata power cable, and your good to go. enjoy the pc man.

*edit*

one thing i have noticed about this case i dont like, is it is a Oven. in the sense that NO heat escapes, if You dont have fans set properly. I only use a few fans, so it more of an issue for me, but If i change Bios Profiles, and forget to readjust fans settings, it turns into an oven in there, and suddenly ill hear my fans Freak out , and spin like its overheating.

Got a bunch more to post, pretty busy this time of year with everyone getting rid of their yesterday stuff but i will try to get chance.

Got it for $5 which is alright, been after one for a while for making labels for all my cables. All so came with 3 packets of tapes too

I will eventually. The camera is still way smarter than I am. I've got the 55-200mm lens coming as well, just need the weather to finally tun to spring and I'll venture out for more than just work lol.

Bought two of those (1400rpm ones)

http://nanoxia-world.com/en/products/fans/deep-silence/244/deep-silence-140-mm?c=50

and one 1300rpm 120mm

http://nanoxia-world.com/en/products/fans/deep-silence/243/deep-silence-120-mm?c=50

new, taken out of nanoxia cases that did not make it to retail, cost me about half a new silent wings 3 fan for all three :laugh:

those are some pretty crazy specs for a case fan, 76,5 CFM at 1,18 mm H2O / 16dB, wonder if they can deliver.

Any reason why you didn't go for the 8700k?

FreedomEclipse · Apr 1, 2018

Mainly budget, Hence the WD NvMe instead of a Samsung. Secondly im a gamer and even though Im currently on a 3930k@4.5Ghz which came as part of a part exchange with another TPU member, I have never really found use for all the power that it offers.

::EDIT::

trawling through my inbox for old messages regarding the trade. I came into ownership of this X79 in 2013. The trade was negotiated on the 14th of March and i took receipt of it about a week after that. so Ive had around 6 years to find something to do with this setup apart from just gaming and the odd video encode once in a blue moon.

Not that It means much because the motherboard is dying, Hence the upgrade.

It's still a powerful build. Last week I put together something similar at work: benched that 8600K on AORUS Z370 board and had to breathe slowly for a minute after seeing that single-core and multi-core performance. It's probably time to sell my i3 and get something faster.

Though, the webdev guy that ordered all parts also got the cheapest AIO, which I'm honestly not sure is going to survive even 6 months in an office environment.

Get another i3... 8350k :toast:

they are quad core now and you can clock them to 5Ghz ive read some places though they probably hit closer to 4.8-4.9 on retail units.... No turbo boost sucks as it means the CPU will stay at OC speeds constantly without ever rolling back to idle speeds to save power. definitely the budget gaming CPU of the year. the only real down side is it costs around the same as an 8400 which has more cores.

I was just curious really, I always thought rather go for that bit more than regret and have to buy twice type thing...

I'm sure the rig will be a monster

FreedomEclipse · Apr 2, 2018

TBF its something that has been troubling me for months and Ive been putting off upgrading since the early grumbles of my X79 signalling its time was near to an end even before christmas. I think Ive mentioned in the X79 thread when the USB ports on my rear I/O started dying or were completely dead a good few pages back.

I was praying for the grumbles to go away but it never did. Since the new build was bought on credit I didnt want to absolutely smash the budget and just spec out the most OTT machine i could have when it came to it otherwise it would of been too big a hole for me to climb out of just in case the plan failed and I was lumbered with massive monthly repayments.

Its why I called this new machine Icarus -- Because im taking a gamble regarding finding good employment to get it paid off before the chunk of interest slaps me one in the face.

Plenty of time in the world to consider other upgrades or upgrading again even once the money is rolling in.

you didnt need to buy one. I could have dug around in our local recycle dumpster plant and found one for you for free! You'd still need to pay shipping of course, but freedom isnt free!

On a more relatable note. 8600k setup should be here tomorrow. Got my WIndows 10 install and drivers all ready to go!

Spent some money at IKEA lol,wanted to move my desk and it started falling apart. Still a couple pieces yet to arrive, but this is the base of it so far.

O really, UK must of changed a lot. Maybe you should take your own advice and sell the stuff. i would take you up on that but i know the shipping costs are a bitch, how ever let me know if ya find some thing as just shipping might be worth it

.

How ever i guess people are willing to give as it stops them having to pay for it to be taken away, which unlike the US were you just can put it all in the bin
