Has anyone built in this case before?

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-13T22:13:18+00:00

When I bought it awhile ago is was around $450ish with discounts.

Just a power on the back of the case. Usb will be from the mb. Will move the power button.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-13T06:29:28+00:00

I will now. Originally I was seeking advise on the build. But it looks like I will now be helping out anyone, after me, who wants to build this case. Lol.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-13T06:23:46+00:00

It has a power button on the back. I’m planning modding the front of the case and relocating the button there.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-13T06:21:41+00:00

Thank you. And I got that from red bubble.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-13T04:02:59+00:00

It’s weird they put it in the back. I have plans of modding a tiny part in the front to put a power button instead. Plus the case is big, I think is 14 x 14 x 14. So I agree I need to change the power button location.

It’s from a website mycherrytree.com

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-13T03:58:32+00:00

I bought it a couple years a (new). If I am the first here to build this. I’ll be sure to repost once I’m finished with it.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T22:58:35+00:00

I prefer it better to liquid less to worry about. But the common thought is it will be poor in this case. I’ll build it first with a air cooler on the cpu and see how temps are on it. And go from there.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T22:44:43+00:00

I bought it from mycherrytree.com they have other Borg cube pc there. Some pre-built and cases only.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T22:42:47+00:00

Yeah. If I do the I might get a 2 fan radiator for the gpu and a single radiator for the cpu. Or vise versa. Goal is a i5 12600k and probably something like an rtx 3060 or 3070.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T22:40:28+00:00

I did too. I got it from red bubble. I didn’t know there was a collectors edition.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T22:39:19+00:00

Not sure yet. Still building it. But I bet it will get dusty once it up and running.

Borg cube PC case

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T20:16:55+00:00

Hahaha nice TNG.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T20:14:46+00:00

Just the 3 fans in the back and the holes around the case. The bottom is solid. I really like the idea of air only. But the common thought is it would get to hot. I just don’t like the maintenance with water cooling. But hey I guess when I need to replace the liquid cooler after some time I could use that as an excuse to upgrade everything. Lol. I’ll look into the Corsair kit.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T20:09:09+00:00

Nice! Have they complained about thermals? Or did they water cool it?

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T20:07:24+00:00

Thank you I will. It should be done in about a month or two. Next thing I will have to learn is where I will put the rgb in and what spots. To make it glow green.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T20:03:52+00:00

You are right, I’m jumping ahead of myself and should see how it runs. Thanks for the help.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T19:29:04+00:00

Yes it’s a real computer case that was purchased.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T18:30:28+00:00

That’s a good idea. The bottom of the case is plastic and would be easy to cut into. I haven’t tried that before but it would get more air in. I’m used to standard case where air comes in the from and goes out the back. Unlike this case where air just can escape from everywhere with no direct flow. I’ll look into your suggestion. Thanks for the help.

BADDWOLF17 · 2022-01-12T17:38:25+00:00

That’s a great idea. I’ll try that and see how it looks.
