Hey guys,
I have been wanting to upgrade my rig since long. But me and my bro were kind of bored with the CM690 so wanted something more compact, different and pleasing to the eyes. So one fine day, I finally decided to build a new setup.
The rig:
- i5 760 (could have gone for i7 but this is more than enough for my needs)
- Gigabyte H57M
- Corsair H50
- Corsair XMS3 2x2GB
- Lian Li V350
This is in addition to the the components I have already have:
- ATI Radeon HD5850
- Corsair HX620
And I think the results are way better than I expected. The Lian Li is just beautiful both on the inside and outside. Without much hassle I was able to accommodate all of the components inside, and turned this into a little beast.
Here are a few pics (sorry for mobile cam pics):
I didn't really have to spend any time on cable management. It was straight forward enough. The case is brilliantly designed.
Had to drill a few holes inside to accommodate both the fans one of which holds the water cooler radiator.
This little box can even hide two 5850s on crossfire, something which I don't need at the moment.
I love the back, it's so sexy
Couple of more snaps:
I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Not only I have a better machine than I had before, it's also half the size. And most importantly, it makes my desk looks so damn beautiful. I just love it. It's seriously a change I have been looking to see for a long time.
