When I get the RX 7900 XTX, I'm gonna have a few components spare since I've replaced my 3900X with a 5900X. Heck, I have just about all the parts I need to build a great gaming rig based on the R9 3900X and RX 6900 XT. This build isn't gonna be RGB at all, because I'd found a classic old case that I'd forgotten about in my storeroom collecting dust. Since it has no see-thru side panel, I'll be going for that strict no nonsense look. The case is actually the most expensive case I'd ever bought, dunno if you guys have heard of it, but it's a SOLDAM XR-1 Black Knight, I think it cost me about 600USD or so back when I'd gotten it all those years back.

I'll be back to post pics of it when I get back to my home country, after I get the RX 7900 XTX and a B550 mobo that is....

I found an old OCN thread (from 2007!) with build photos of a Black Knight case. Looks nice!

Soldam Windy XR-1 Black Knight Here At Last

Well it took a while but the Soldam XR-1 is nearly here. Currently in transit and due to arrive Monday or Tuesday. My friend from VR Forums (iceflight) did me a special favor and had a friend of his bring the case to the states from Singapore saving me about $250 in shipping. the lowest rate I...

GTX 970 as a temporary card. I sold my 1080 Ti to my friend (this is his old card) and I ordered a 6700 XT yesterday.

 

[GamerGuy]

Yep, looks like the exact same case I have, with that back attachment as well. It's a pity SOLDAM went out of business, they make very nice cases, but they ain't cheap ... at all.

Sucks if you need to get your memory sticks out for replacement/upgrading....

I know. Installing that cooler sucks balls.

I guess I can call my HTPC a sleeper even though it has a Sandy i5. I'll put an exhaust fan later today as that 290X warms that up a LOT. A great card if we forget its high power draw and heat output.

Like the sticker says, it had a Celeron D before

edit: if someone is wondering that where's my X58 setup, I retired it as a result of the current electricity pricing. It's in my closet and ready to roll if I need it.

Just got the HYTE Y60. Front glass off for the sake of photos.

Nice setup! Are you going to add fans in the back or just leave the exhaust passive?

 

[freeagent]

It looks good in white.

Agreed, I like the white look too!

Do you mean the PSU chamber?

 

[lexluthermiester]

Do you mean the PSU chamber?

No, to the back of the case near the CPU. That looks like a fan mount or am I mistaken?
Nevermind, just took a closer look at the photo and noticed that you already have a fan mounted there, but on the outside of the case.

Oh gotcha. Yeah, the exhaust fan gets all in the way of the motherboard otherwise. I had to clip off the notches to get it through the grill ( I love my ML fans). What you can't see are the two inlet fans in the floor and the the 3 outlet fans in the top. So I'm pretty sure I've got enough air in there. iCue seems to be reporting decent temps anyway

Just finished my Evangelion homage build, it took me a while, but finally was able to track most of the components needed:

Any other fans of Evangelion here? What do you guys think? I hope you like the result

You and a friend of mine would get along great. He's a huge fan of NGE. He'd totally dig on this stuff!

I've linked him this post, hope he checks it out. Hello Mr. Good!

I bet we would! It's such a great time to be a fan of Evangelion, especially in America, for the longest time people were only able to enjoy this landmark anime from bootleg recordings or super expensive imports.

I always wanted to be able to build an Eva inspired rig, and now, both Asus and MSI have made that dream come true, what a great time to be alive!

Actually, he responded and loved it. I used to build PC's for him and his family and if we were still in the same area of the nation, I likely would have built him something like this recently. You took it to the next level! Props man!

Really glad your friend liked it, and thank you, let me know if your friend is interested in obtaining the parts for this build so I can send you the links, I don't think they'll be around for long, and this is the perfect chance to pull the trigger and build an EVA inspired PC.

PM me and I'll pass them along, just in case he wants to pull the trigger!

I like Evangelion too but damn man, that's extreme!

Some fans are that passionate. Gundam fans are likewise passionately into that anime. I know a "DeathNote" fan who tried to embody the world of that series. Hell go to a Comicon, oh yeah!
