Aeropostle Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hello all, I am new to the forums here and I wanted to take a quick opportunity to share with you all my machine and my recent project. I am a fairly new Corsair customer and I have recently purchased my dream machine. The Vendor I bought it from did some stuff with my build that I was not satisfied with. This post is not to complain but to share my adventure in correcting their mistakes. I love my new machine!!! This is what I bought. http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr313/MarsRosin/New%209590%20AMD%20Machine/P3060020_zps60e654e4.jpg IN the close up you can see the terrible stock fans on my 240mm radiator and you can see the Apevia power-supply. I removed the PSU http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr313/MarsRosin/P1010037_zpsd9714c4e.jpg I removed both HDD and SSD and both HDD cages from the floor of the tower. http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr313/MarsRosin/P1010040_zps9fb80752.jpg This is what I purchased and installed to get rid of the coil whining Apevia. http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr313/MarsRosin/P1010043_zps9026aaf7.jpg Here is a shot of the rear of my Case showing my newbie approach to wiring and where I installed two SSD's and where I his the controller to my Cold Cathode light. http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr313/MarsRosin/P1010058_zps2d44bdff.jpg Here is the final shot showing my new PSU and where I relocated the cheap 120mm fans from my Radiator in the floor of my case. http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr313/MarsRosin/P1010054_zps5713ea4d.jpg I hope you enjoyed my adventure!

HOODedAssault Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Nice little build. Route the cpu power plug through back of case and over top of board then down to plug in instead of between gpu and board tho. Much more aesthetically pleasing Imo.

Aeropostle Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Thanks, I plan on opening the case up soon to make some changes. I forgot to run a wire up to my CDROM. I copied off how they ran the motherboard power wire and I do believe there will be enough slack to do what you suggested. Placing both the Red Cheap LED fans and the Cathode on the bottom of the tower was a mistake. My tower is pitch black from the VGU up. I am going to get some wire and connectors to move the cold cathode to the ceiling. The wire to the bulb will have to be extended to make the move. I am also going to purchase some grill steel covers for the cheap LED fans to kind of hide their ugliness. Thanks for the input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODedAssault Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 I have mine horizontal on the front window side of the case. Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
