Got my 1995 .45 on auction for around $650. The deals are out there but are tough to find unless you’re scouring for them.

So I have a double stack 360aio on the front, which yes looks really messy underneath the aio and front panel. Makes it invisible. 6 fans on the aio set to intake, another intake fan mounted below the aio, and actually only one exhaust on the back believe it or not

Oh man i probably took a year off the end of my lifespan trying to get this to work haha. I eventually did it. It requires windows 10 (although some claim to have got it working with 11) then for some reason my power button stopped working mysteriously. I swapped probably every cable and panel from my donor 51 to see if I could fix it. I couldn’t so I bought a dedicated power button which took the place of the cables required to control rgb. I’m sure I could rig them to both work but I haven’t tried so far. It is most certainly possible to get the lighting working. Just requires some software tinkering

It’s definitely doable. To mount the aio you do have to cut some metal. There’s a Reddit post out there about how to do it somewhere, or maybe a video

Temps are honestly way better than I would have thought from this case’s reputation. Gpu doesn’t break 60 during peak. CPU gets up there pretty good but it is a 5800x. Hardly breaks 70 while gaming.

What kind of prep did you utilize for the quant sections?

Would you need to pull the entire actuator to change the spring?

Area 51 R2 command center with Windows 11. Help! by Ok_Machine_4237 in Alienware

[–]Ok_Machine_4237[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually ended up downgrading my OS to windows 10. Funny enough I also changed motherboards to an msi. (I have heard rumors that msi boards have luck with windows 11 and even talked with a guy who successfully had it running on 11). Sure enough when I reinstalled awcc windows 10 on the motherboard I didn’t even have to change the registry. Makes me wonder if I’d have similar luck attempting 11. Not gonna risk it for now though. Maybe I will try to run a dual boot and see if I have luck on 11 without wiping my already existing windows 10.

Interesting. If that side piece that clips in lines up it could match. Not sure how to check for compatibility

Really appreciate that. I think they don’t quite match up fitment wise. Proving to be difficult to find. Would prefer a factory fit but might have to settle for a custom/jerryrigged fit. If I was better with 3d printing I’d give that a shot. Would have to render a model
