1foxracing Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Just curious what other folks are stuffing in their own 400R cases. I love this case and all the fan mounting options, I like it better than my 600T even. I just finished my new Intel i5-2500K build this afternoon, I still consider my AMD system my main so I have not updated my system specs. Items for this build Corsair Carbide 400R GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 Intel i5-2500K Scythe Mugen 3 HSF Intel 320 series SSD ( Scratch disk for Photoshop CS5) ******** Caviar BLK 500 GB ( will be adding many more HD's when prices are not insane) ******** Enhanced Blackline 8GB DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 ******** Joule 700W power supply (80 plus Bronze) Gigabyte GTX560 Sony Optiarc 24X DVD Burner Scythe Kaze Server 4CH fan controller Scythe Slip Stream 120mm fans X5 ( plus 3 stock Corsair 120mm fans) ******** USB3 media card reader Asus VH242H 24" monitor Windows 7 Pro I still have some cable management to do but it is up and running stable. These K series CPU's are insanely easy to overclock and I'm currently running at 4.2 Ghz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1foxracing Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 A few updates since I originally posted this. I replaced all of the 120mm Scythe fans with 140mm Cougar units. I have also added a new 120GB SSD and a USB 3.0 media card reader. I know this is useless but still cool to get a couple 7.9's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obama Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Mushkin power supply? I hope it doesn't explode. Probably going to trade this TX 750M in for an 850 v2. It's making a really high pitched squeal. http://i.imgur.com/5vFit.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1foxracing Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nice clean install. I had no idea the president was into custom computers :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1foxracing Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Installed W8 CP on a spare Intel 320 40 GB SSD and got some improvements in the Windows experience score. 9.2 for Memory now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackready Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Installed W8 CP on a spare Intel 320 40 GB SSD and got some improvements in the Windows experience score. 9.2 for Memory now. Umm, the WEI stops at 7.9 so either your system is mad at you or you went in and edited them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socialite Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Umm, the WEI stops at 7.9 so either your system is mad at you or you went in and edited them. Actually in Windows 8, they decided to fix it and put it on a much more real-world scale. The WEI can now range from 1.0 to 9.9... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1foxracing Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 8 years later I'm still using my Carbide 400r and still happy with it. Most cases on the market today leave a lot to be desired for my uses that include mandatory 5.25 front drive bays and zero rainbow type lighting. The original build as a i5 2500k Z77 build and I finally updated it to a R7 3700X system. I don't game at all so no giant GPU needed is the reason for the 1660 Super. A few photo's of how my 400r looks today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
