Wild_Will Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have always been a Lian Li fan so i decided it was time to move on to one of there unique offerings. I have owned a lot of cases the past few years as well as dropping down in motherboard size from full atx all the way down to mini. Case History - Antec 1200Corsair 800DCorsair C70Coolermaster haf XBCorsair Air 540Silverstone FT03Caselabs S5Silverstone RVZ02 As you can see i have experience with many cases on the market and i hope this case will suffice for several years to come. The purpose behind this build was for Gaming/Multitasking with the best components from my favorite company's. I hope this gives more people inspiration to drop down to small cases such as this as they do come with challenges.

The CM had a crappy mounting system and i was having temp issues so i went with the GTX which i should have from the beginning. The only con i see with the GTX is the tubing is very stiff and i had to use some force to form it under the glass panel. I will update with pics tomorrow. http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2624793/width/350/height/700 http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2624794/width/350/height/700 http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2624795/width/350/height/700 http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2624796/width/350/height/700 http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2624798/width/350/height/700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wytnyt Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I too liked having a small case with the challenge of carefully packing everything inside but eventually decided to go with a larger case ,going with a air 540 to customize. Well with 2 aquaeros,a Mini commander,2 lighting nodes,10 fans and a full custom loop,Im back to where I started with having to pack it all in....again Nice parts going in your build,do keep us posted...

You will like the 540 it's a sweet case, when you get a chance link me to your build thread as well. LoL I won't lie I do think some times I should have stuck with the S5 and went full water but as of right now I am content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Will Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Corsair H100i GTX Installed. The tubing is stiff so it took some pressure to tuck them in upon installing the glass but everything turned out okay. Temps are great at all levels of load so i couldn't be happier with going this route. Only problem is i only have 1 USB 3.0 port on this mobo so if i want to make any adjustment using corsair link i will have to use an adapter to make changes. I will most likely just run the fans off he mobo header and control them through ai suite anyway. http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2630610/width/350/height/700 http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2630611/width/350/height/700 http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/2630612/width/350/height/700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
