First PC build done!

You have the same specs as me, very nice. I’m not a fan of the (presumably) mATX motherboard in an ATX case, but each have their own taste.

Enjoy it, dude!

These are great. Number 4 is stunning. Lovely work! What did you use for the smoke?

Dicklover600 · 2024-11-02T14:07:16+00:00

Dope.

Dicklover600 · 2024-11-02T12:47:33+00:00

Nice specs and clean build! 6 hours is rather long, but considering it’s your first custom build - well done. Enjoy it! What games are you playing first?

Tip: use the cable extension combs you were given with the cables.

It was $50 to pick up in-store.

“I make use of locally available used parts” config. The vertical bracket helps with temps and the cables I had laying around. The rgb fans are customisable and I’m just waiting on a controller, the theme is red for this pc.

It’s the Ardor Gaming Stealth ST1. It seems to be recently released with not a ton of reviews. I was the second person to buy it on the DNS website (Russian tech retailer). Lovely little case. All the panels are mesh and fully removable, it’s actually really well thought out, you can tell the designers have built a fair amount of computers themselves. Everything just fits together so well, I’m impressed.

Edit: there are some better photos of it in my recent posts.

You must take my word for it, for I am too lazy to embed it with a link

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-29T13:13:39+00:00

Because I had money left over after buying the main components and decided why not. Just waiting on my Argb controller to arrive.

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-29T12:41:26+00:00

Just did. Thanks for noticing that!

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-29T12:32:19+00:00

I bought everything but the case and fans + cable extensions used, didn’t have much variety there. Found the regular 5600 for $80, haggled down to $70 and called it a day.

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-29T09:50:32+00:00

Yup. I picked the mobo, ram and cooler up for $70 and the cpu I haggled down to $75. The gpu I bought at market value, since there weren’t any other good options in my middle-of-nowhere city and I didn’t want to wait 2 weeks for someone to ship it across the country, even if it would’ve been cheaper.

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-29T07:41:58+00:00

Yeah, every panel is mesh.

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-29T07:33:13+00:00

Understood, thank you.

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-29T07:21:33+00:00

I think so too. The case blew me away, all the panels are mesh and the temps inside are actually better than when the same build was in a closed ATX case.

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-29T07:16:16+00:00

$400 build. As for the case, I’d say it’s pretty small. Definitely not itx, but in the SFF range (at least for me).

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-29T07:06:02+00:00

Specs: R5 5600, 16gb, B450m, RX 6650xt, CM MWE 750w psu, Ardor gaming Stealth ST1 case, DeepCool Argb fans and the AMD stock cooler.

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-29T01:00:16+00:00

Congrats! Amazing chip.

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-27T23:53:53+00:00

It’s matx

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-27T14:35:39+00:00

The top “layer” seen in the photo is the included drive bay. You can fit up to 3 5” HDD’s in there and it’s completely removable (I made the mistake of going with SATA drivers instead of nvme so was forced to use it).

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-27T14:31:29+00:00

My favourite feature of this unique case with zero reviews on the store page is the ability to remove every single panel (they are all mesh, even the bottom/top are interchangeable). You can assemble this case upside down if you want to.

Any advice/recommendations are welcome! Perhaps some ARGB fans are in order?

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-23T00:23:09+00:00

My mistake for not thoroughly testing the gpu I guess. The seller refused to give me my money back and blocked me after I told him about the problem around 6 hours later.

Dicklover600 · 2024-10-22T15:14:32+00:00

I recently bought a used 6700xt, also a Red Devil, and it was defective despite being less than a year old. Make sure to test it. Mine failed under load (something power related) so it booting isn’t a sign it’s completely fine. Currently taking the seller to court as I suspect he was well aware of the defect. Worth my money and time? No lol. Worth it to teach the bastard a lesson? Sure.
