I did that but the slim case didn’t fit a GPU so I just have the door off and a PCI-E extender with the GPU precariously resting on top of the hard drive.
I did this way back in like 2008. I was working in IT and snagged an optiplex and had the bright idea to throw a gpu in it and see how it did. Realized a few things, at this particular time the psu did not have the extra connector for the gpu, I should have known that. So I buy one to swap it out, realize Dell had a proprietary mobo connector and was apparently something they did but not all the time. So I had to buy an adapter to make it work. Also had the same issue with getting it to fit as well! It worked great once I took care of all that! Lasted like 4 years.
Bottom PC is truly sexy to my eyes. That’s a PC someone looked into, with their limitations, a PC they wanted and did their best to get what they need and want
I’m very satisfied with my build but my main issues are cables. The cables of the two CPU fans are way too long so they hang in a pretty non aesthetic way. On the other hand, the cables of the fan headers are too short for me to put them in the back of the case so it has to just stay there below my GPUs. It’s awful.
Lol my ssd’s are just hanging out of the case by their sata cables. I’m missing some hardware so its just guts-out until I find that ziplock bag full of screws (i remember seeing it a couple years ago). my wrist is killing me tho, that ergo mouse pad makes a lot of sense.
There was the guy on reddit a week or so ago that was the fusion of these. Ran a custom cooling loop up his wall into the AC vent and got insanely low temps.
It’ll have been ten years for me too, bur I’ll pass not gonna lie. I still love my case despite it not being up to the same “standard” that modern PC builders hold aesthetic up to. I’ve got a corsair c70 for both my personal and workstation builds, it may be tacky but I love them!
My friend. I’m using a think center tower case from lenovo that I bough out of an office’s closure sale. The hard drives are zip tied to the frame because it only has one drive bay.
No don’t! Sleeper retro PCs are back in style, I wish I was joking but I’m serious. Pack that ten year old case with as much power your poor little wall outlet can provide!
I didn’t mean to say that products manufacturers produce will stop having RGB, yeah it’s here to stay. I meant people’s unique builds, stuff people post to /r/rate_my_pc, or builds.gg. Custom built and pre-built PCs are going to be slammed with more and more RGB until that case is brighter than the sun. PC parts are never going to get as cheap as they were 15 years ago I’m afraid.
