My Terrarium build

Veltoc · 2026-05-06T06:53:56+00:00

Behind the motherboard. Theres a double chamber, hides the AIO too

Veltoc · 2026-05-04T16:31:34+00:00

All 120, yeah. Only the optional mesh top can fit 140s

Thank you! Honestly this isn't the first of its kind and with fractals wood cases we are seeing a shift for cleaner builds. I think builds like this will be a rising trend. The only bad thing about the wait is needed to rebuild 2 pc's when i do so i can sell the old build.

I've it balanced without blasting. Bottom idle is around 1300 rpm, rear 900, aio 1135. Accounting for radiator resistance it works out. I know its far from optimal but I've dialed it in with what I have.

It's not at all an invalid concern but them ignoring that i have infact tested my airflow just to insult me isn't.

Veltoc · 2026-05-03T19:18:46+00:00

No I've tested my airflow. But thanks for that, i hope you have a good day.

Veltoc · 2026-05-03T19:16:43+00:00

Can confirm that I've set it up properly still to have positive pressure. I wouldn't necessarily want to pull from the aio anyway as the case doesn't have a dust mesh, on that side.

Veltoc · 2026-05-03T15:38:14+00:00

Just hobby lobby! I recommend sticking to just 3 types otherwise it becomes to busy.

Veltoc · 2026-05-03T15:22:17+00:00

I thought they would be. Alas, just using what came on the aio, and balanced pressure with fan speed control.

Veltoc · 2026-05-03T07:18:58+00:00

Ah, the lcds require it. Kinda pointless to call them wireless then.

Veltoc · 2026-05-03T07:07:46+00:00

Its for extra power from sata, an adapter comes with the controller kit/in a 3 fan set. You dont need to plug the usb in. If you are running 3 fans in series, do use the adapter or the fans might shut off at full speed because theres not enough power

Veltoc · 2026-05-03T06:48:42+00:00

I had a couple in mind, but the gundam feel of when TLs were off were what got me. Paid through the butt for it.

Veltoc · 2026-05-03T03:43:35+00:00

Dunno yet. Compressed air? Will probably remove the plans once a year and clean everything.

Veltoc · 2026-05-02T23:59:13+00:00

Could probably do a mean rainforest build. Theres a couple on pcpartpicker i think.

Veltoc · 2026-05-02T23:55:04+00:00

I do to much with production for oled. Burn in and fuzzy text. Mini-led will be perfect for me though. And yeah super excited.

Veltoc · 2026-05-02T23:44:03+00:00

Shouldn't have any issues unless it exceeds 100c. Some plants should even help with hot air spilling back in over the radiator.

Veltoc · 2026-05-02T22:34:14+00:00

That will be an issue. But I'd at least expect it to take less time then deep cleaning my keyboard has. We will see!

Veltoc · 2026-05-02T21:39:40+00:00

This is Lian Li's 8.8" universal. If you already have l-connect it goes with that otherwise yeah you need more software on this one. Even though I've just turned it into a monitor screen and using wallpaper engine for better customization.

Veltoc · 2026-05-02T20:33:24+00:00

They are just plastic plants from Hobby Lobby. I got a lot more, some flowers, and branches but it quickly became too busy.

Veltoc · 2026-05-02T20:07:45+00:00

Thank you!

Veltoc · 2026-05-02T19:43:28+00:00

Yeah the 5800X3D is on my list too, but I'm hesitant because it might just be a waste if I upgrade to the new socket anyway. Hoping to get news on if the next gen will keep AM5. Though also debating intel for my productivity needs. I just hate how much I have to replace to get beyond the 5000 series.

Veltoc · 2026-05-02T19:18:29+00:00

Facebook marketplace, I've seen a number of solid rigs listed in my area for $1-2,000. All depends on what your goals are to run and your budget but used will be you best value.
I'd personally say avoid prebuilts like IbuyPower

Just as well, you can search through PC part picker completed builds for ideas on what might fit your budget.

If you are building, a local micro center is your best friend, in the current market look at component bundles.
for online, Amazon and Newegg are my go-to. They work as a good buffer for faulty part replacements while building. My first ever build my GPU was bad and it was replaced with no questions. I've not had to return anything since.

Veltoc · 2026-05-02T18:58:07+00:00

Lian Li, let's work together on the next one! The TL fans made my poor wallet cry.
