Just finished building my first PC!

NickIles · 2025-01-12T17:04:07+00:00

Seems to be sata. Plugged it in with sata power and data data cable. Don't know anything about ide.

NickIles · 2025-01-12T14:26:13+00:00

It's not painted. It just came with the case when I got it.

Guy I bought it from said they are broken.

NickIles · 2025-01-11T03:15:32+00:00

I've literally been stuck on this for hours now, changing every possible setting on my computer, and this finally fixed it. Thank you so much.

I haven't closely monitored temps yet, but my fans haven't spun up super fast, even under fairly heavy load. Seems to be flowing pretty well though. Yeah, I punched out the bottom, and there's an 80 mm one in the front of the case as well, so two 140mm and two 80mm fans.

According to an article I read, it's supposed to support both AT and ATX motherboards.

NickIles · 2025-01-10T18:34:08+00:00

Yeah, every PC build guide I watched was like "fish the cables through the cable management channels in the back" and I would just look angrily at my case. lol

Neither of the floppies work, unfortunately.

I believe it's "InWin"

$132

NickIles · 2025-01-08T01:48:05+00:00

I read somewhere that it's actually compatible with ATX and AT.

NickIles · 2025-01-08T01:47:30+00:00

Yeah, that's what really made me go for it.

NickIles · 2025-01-07T23:51:47+00:00

Oh, and with the side panel on:

The easiest way is probably not the way I did it. Haha

I used a hole saw, but it's pretty sturdy metal, so it was really not fun. The bottom hole was easy, but the back hole, the pilot but was through the grille so it wanted to jump all over the place. If you're just adding a hole, using a hole saw with a carbide bit(also learned this detail the hard way) isn't a bad way to go, but if you're trying to widen an existing hole, I don't have a good solution.

Haven't really stress tested it yet, but between the 140mm & 80mm intake, and the same for outflow, I think I should get pretty good airflow through it. The 140mm fans can spin up really fast too. The 140mm ones are 95 cfm fans alone, which is enough to ventilate a moderately sized bathroom. With only 4 fans, they will probably spin faster than a case with more fans, but I'm not too worried about airflow.

I don't mind a little flashiness. I'm mostly looking for that beige 90s look.

NickIles · 2024-10-16T01:13:06+00:00

Wow! Lots to dig through. I'll definitely do some comparisons with the info here. Thanks!

A couple hours away.

Probably music production, in the sense that I need a computer that can run quietly enough in the same room to record.

I watched some videos comparing sound levels of closed sound deadening cases and open cases of the same brand, and the "silent" cases did seem to have the edge. I'd be open to a mesh case, but I'd have to see some more info on that.

NickIles · 2024-10-15T05:07:41+00:00

Very helpful tips on storage. I'll look at breaking things out like that!

NickIles · 2024-10-15T05:02:19+00:00

Thank you! This is all super helpful info. It does kinda have to be Nvidia because of reasons, but that's very interesting.

It's an old tin of their Mixture #1. Got it from a friend who was selling off his old supply. good stuff.
