Ah hey man! Haha you moderate?!Nuke I'm afraid my camera is out of commission and I am smartphone-less as I sold it in lieu of an upgrade,so I really can not torture you folks with poor res photos.

 

[Lutfij]

Well you could always link us to your OCN uploads(if you've got any) ?

But when dya think you can provide those pics ?!?!?! SFF system needs exposure IMO!

 

[nukemaster]

I will be fine with any images you can get. Is all about the hardware

 

[allanitomwesh]

I'll pack it in my gym bag and take it to my friend's house and take pics over the weekend. Actually fits with room to spare,haha. I'm actually eyeing the Silverstone ML07 now...haha. My buddy thinks I'm mad for building small PC's. Lack of expansion he says,can't sleep at night unless he knows if he WANTS to he COULD SLI,but might not get around to it.It's why I went ITX,never getting around to upgrading all the time.

 

[nukemaster]

You should ask a friend to come take the picture(safer for the system).

Not that I have not took my SG05 on a trip(fits in a small cooler bag quite well).

 

[allanitomwesh]

That way I can use his IPS monitor,it's nice haha. Getting someone to come over is harder,it's been raining the last few days and the roads are hell. I'll be on the weekend bus out to the city,serves me right for living in the suburbs

 

[allanitomwesh]

I'll try and find a camera sooner though,i've delayed joining the SFF Club at OCN way too long anyway. Gotta go, It's 9.30pm here.

ok after readin reviews Dat asus 144hz goes ballz deep into the benq and whips it pretty hard and seems to get great reviews.

😉 very nice review.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ok so you're getting it? And guys , I KNOW the insides are the same but should I get the 760T or 750D?

 

[tiny voices]

Honestly either case is WAY overkill and you build will look tiny in it. They really are for custom water cooling setups.

I prefer the styling of the 750D but honestly I would get a mid tower as your build really has no need for a full tower.

A full tower will just take up more space and not really offer any gains unless you plan to go full water loop in the near future.

Both are great cases though.

 

[Lutfij]

+1 to tiny

MDBA - whats your budget, purchase site and max budget including the weight of shipping your case? The last question was meant to gauge how much it costs(pound for pound) to move a said weight towards that desert

Perhaps for your first foray into an enthusiast build, get something that's a little toned down like the 230T or the carbide mid towers? Provided you keep it good condition, you can auction it off on a site in UAE? and later grab a larger case when you've understood how to build your own loop

 

[Dom_79]

I would much rather have something like a Corsair 400r.

I completely agree. In fact, that is the case I used for my build 😀

 

[azzazel_99]

So anyone else input on that asus monitor? Is it a good monitor?

 

[nukemaster]

Monitors are almost too personal to give an 100% opinion on.

What the heck happened to my computer?


Over the years, some case screws had stripped so I figured it was as good of a time as any to jb weld some nuts to back those sections of the case. This makes me appreciate how much was crammed into that little SG05.

I may see if I can get some better cable management in the case after as well.

 

[Mirakledba]

Lutif - Tiny? Why would my PC look tiny in it...? Um my budget is NOTHING MORE THAN 179.99. I want something black and something with a window and also something that will fit a 308mm GPU.

 

[tiny voices]

You build would look small in it because those are FULL tower cases. They are HUGE and meant for custom watercooling loops. You want a NORMAL sized case. These are called mid-towers.

 

[Mirakledba]

I know what midsized towers are xD can you help me find a 179$ or below case with a window, that will fit an H100i and 2 fans, Modular HDD cages so that MY GPU will fit. WINDOW is very important. amazon links only please

Here are three VERY high quality cases that will fit your GPU, are black, and have side windows.

 

[Mirakledba]

I dont want the phantom. The first one is nice but I dont like the fan mounts on the window as it kinda ruins the look. Look, How small will my PC look in a 760t or 750D? Sure there will be room but room is good Any pictures that will explain how small? I will look for some cases, you can help if you would like. Not pushing anyone.

 

[tiny voices]

Not only will you build not even come close to filling up the case but the case will be enormous. You also must thing of how much space the case itself will take up.

This is a 750d with a HUGE motherboard and THREE TRIPLE slot GPUs., and the case isn't even close to full.

Here is what a build like yours will look like in that case. You simply have no need for it.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ok, well, what other cases are there? :/ AIR 540? Or is that too out of the box because for a first PC build it will be weird right?

 

[tiny voices]

The air 540 is really overkill for your build as well to be honest.

I would strongly recommend the Corsair 300r, 400r, Antec Eleven hundred. Have a look, also, at some NZXT, Bitfenix, and Fractal Design mid-tower cases.

 

[Mirakledba]

:S Define R4 doesnt ship here. I dont want antec neither the 300,400r. This whole time I would have added the define R4 but the windowd one doesnt ship here.

 

[Mirakledba]

But they are coming out with the DEFINE R4, Window, Blackout! So same thing just all black, point is its a black define R4. Too bad it comes out in april....

 

[tiny voices]

I'm sorry man, I don't really know what to tell you. You are going to buy a case, build your computer with it, and then it just sits there. It isn't going to be the end of the world if you don't get exactly the case you think you want. You ca make VERY clean and amazing looking builds with all the cases I listed.

Here is an amazing build in the 300r:

And here is one with an h100i in the 300r:
