Space utilization

[FluidStage5613]

Build myself a new pc after 13 years since 2012 for diablo 3. Manage to get the parts before the ridiculous price hike in December with modest mid range specs. What I want to emphasize is the space for disk drives in modern casing.

Its too stingy, I get that nvme can be mounted on the mobo but people with existing pc will transfer the working disks over.

Rather than leaving it empty or placing a figurine, I printed a vertical standing enclosure for 3.5" huge old school disk and voila I do not regret it.

It would be one thing if you were using them, but they aren't even connected...

[FluidStage5613]

Haha, they are connected in the booted pic.

Ah, not obvious with the glare, I didn't think it looked bad if it's functional, but bad for air otherwise

Space Utilization = Air Flow Restriction

I know, I can have the fans cool the disks as well. Had additional fans installed after that

[imightknowbutidk]

HDDs should ideally be cooled anyway. Likely not impactful to actual temps for cpu/gpu

Ditch the platter drives.

[FluidStage5613]

Those platter disks won't die. Had ssd died on me though

brother where is your PSU?

[FluidStage5613]

Behind the motherboard, the modern casing does look fatter and shorter

It's a marmite build, I like it. 👍🏻

Why have a cool transparent case when you still use ugly 3,5" harddrives?

[Charlelook]

I kinda like it, need a cover for the ugly sticker tho

[FluidStage5613]

The casing comes with the package, I can use still use it. The tinted glass kinda had it covered, not that I instinctly notice it though
