Show off your PC [2]

Gives it a Blade Runner Effect

My 3yr old decided to clean my side panel with steel wool. There's no replacement parts for this discontinued case so I thought I'd melt the scratches away with a torch. Didn't go as planned but got a cool underwater look to it now....

A Ray Traced Cyberpunk case. Could you not replace the Perspex?

I received a second Dell 5675. I have two of these now. Ha

Back again, I found this free app called SpaceDesk that adds a screen to your pc with an Amazon Tablet. Does this over wifi and is really easy to setup.

Well, I finally had the time and all and ordered up the case i used to have (hate ordering online and you'll see why in a min).

Case i ordered: Amazon.com

It came today, box was fine, wasnt dinged or dented inside and didnt look like a repackaged return (have had that happen before).

Put it all together, get all the drives tucked in and wired up. Everything dusted off nice and clean, wires all tied down.

Plug it in, push the button and ..... nothing.

Chipset fan lights up like its getting power, so, i pull the plug and remove the front panel light connectors (hdd activity, power light, power switch).

Try again by shorting the power switch pins like ive done a million times before bench testing motherboards and ....... nothing.

Pulled it all out to begin bench testing, and i didnt notice it as i was putting it together, but the motherboard tray has a slight warp to it. If you hold it on left and right and make a slight twist motion, you can feel the tray snap into its opposite warp shape. It is supposed to be flat, level, and true, not slightly so big it tries to twist.

Now i wait for amazon to ship the replacement. Original got here in 2 days. Even tho in stock, replacement wont arrive until Oct 1st - 6th. Sigh, remember how i hate ordering online?

Anyways, was going to post a nice clean pic or three of the new case.

This is now what my pc looks like until it gets here. I refuse to put it in the old case to take it back out to put it back in the new one again. Bleh

I think Phanteks makes one of the best cases you can find myself. I bought 2 of them for my builds... here is a link to one of them.
