You making me want to go get a 900d now

Here I posted these at the start of this topic but ya..

O DEAR GOD.....she is soooo hot.....O_0

 

[springs113]

should I go 900d or the 800. last time I spent money on a case was my tt spedo
My current case is a Urban s71 but it is more like a mid tower than its rated full tower spec. It is definitely smaller than the Spedo but a lil cramped.

900D hands down..... Night and day difference. I have now had both and the 900D is an EPIC case. It is like having a Caselabs case for half the cost but the same build quietly and it is HUGE.

May I give you the first huge part of my case mod of the 900D. I have most of the tubing in and fittings. Just waiting on more compression fittings that will be here tomorrow. Will be making the motherboard back plate and the lower cover to cover up the PSU and bottom parts this weekend.

Well I would get the 900D. It is the best case for the money.

Looks awesome.

what are you doing with the floor panel?! and what sort of lighting effect you going for. backlit would be my option.

not sure if you can comb those sleeved cables so they match the 24pin.

any thoughts on the painting yet?

Assuming you have stuff you can put it in. Otherwise it just looks empty.

Look at my current rig..it looks cramped and I don't even have all my drives in there

Thanks. I am going to make the floor panel this weekend as well as the motherboard back plate. I will have to take the GPUs out to install it the back plate. I will light it by putting red lights on the back side of the case that put the red out around the motherboard and other parts. I am also going to put a light in a hand made grove I will make in the lower part of the case floor panel. It will be cut and made in a way that they light will not show from the side of the case but will light the entire bottom of the case. I will have another light on the back side of the top rad lighting the top part of the case. I will also have the rez glowing red. Most of the lights will be indirect lighting hidden but lighting well. I took 3 years of lighting classes for movies and games in college now I get to put it to work ROFL..... Awwww no HDR lighting...

Plans for the bottom panel.

Update


Motherboard back plate.

The last parts for the computer other than 4 compression fittings that will be here tomorrow.

Ya you need a larger case. 900D will be great..

I will probably not do any painting on this case. I like the way it looks. I will make the lower panel and the back panel tonight. I am going to get everything ready but can't finish the loop until I get the lower parts for the main system drain. I need this so I can tun on the pumps for a sec and push the entire loop out the bottom and then can fill it back up without cutting lines etc. I will have to cut a hole in the extra PSU bay and have it pocking out that.​

OMG I am standing in the hanger with the new state of the art Apache Block 3 flight helmet on with the eye gun sight...... hahaha this is so cool.... ok I will put it down now.... someone told me it cost 350,000 USD......did not know I had the cost of a good Ferrari on my head.....o_0

Room for upgrades. Won't need another case again.

Yup, I'd rather not paint it as well.. you keep it stock, you keep it awesome

You've done an amazing job doing this build.. your enthusiasm is crazy. I'm glad to see that you're really enjoying the case

 

[Knight091]

My 900D so far. I have finished the lower cover and finished most of the water loop. The pumps are hooked up and the rez and everything but just waiting on the main system drain for the lower rad to get here tomorrow then I will start her up after I get the motherboard back plate done. Think it is starting to really come together..

Hey Knight what radz are you using? Is that a rx480 at the top? What's on the bottom?

forget it I was finally able to see the first couple pages.

 

[d1nky]

wow that looks brilliant, i agree its ten times better than the last build!

I have this rez. I have the main fill port at the top of the rez and the intake and the return at the bottom. I will also have a red LED at the bottom to light up the rez. No at the top is a 360 rad. I have the 480 at the bottom.

Thanks. That is what I was going for. Taking the gloves off and making a great computer and not dreaming any more about what I could have made. Kind of like I am standing in a black hawk flight crew helmet at work just because I can.... I go after something I like or want and have fun with it...

O right back on topic my last parts for the computer...

Also a shot of the pumps that are now hidden behind the bay cover.

Damn you Knight, I just ordered a 900d

I would really like an 800D. 900D is just too much more me.

Grats! Your epic journey will now begin. Have fun with it


Knight - Were you able to secure those pumps? or you just leave them as it is?

Silverstone

Needs to release that damn patented 90 degree motherboard layout.

Grats! Your epic journey will now begin. Have fun with it

Thank you, will surely have

The pumps are not bolted down. They are just laying their. They are not going any place. I too two D5 pump stand and took them and made them fit the pump top. I have both pumps in a way I can take off one fan and get to them to change the speeds. I can also get to the pumps from the back of the case.

Damn you Knight, I just ordered a 900d

I was wondering how long it would take you to get a 900D... Best case I have gotten and that is saying a lot after I had a 600 USD once.

I'm like this open test bench fanboy, it's gonna be hard to part from it...

I'll have to figure out where to put my 9x120 radiator... I'm going to probably hang it on the backpanel of the case.

Any suggestion?
