LanBoy Air Build

[vanilla guerilla]

well ok then. here we go with the build. the spex are something like this;

intel i7 950
true black
evga sli3 mb
3x2gb patriot viper 2 1600
gigabyte gtx 470
muskin enhanced callista deluxe 60gb ssd
wd cav black 640gb 64mb cache sata 6.0
antec tpn-750 true power new 750 watt (pretty much a seasonic m12 750)


heres the stuff. the black and white mdpcx sleeving was bought for another project. i just ordered some royal blue to go along with the black especially for this case, i also ordered 6x 120mm noiseblocker fans that have black frames and blue blades (anyone noticing a theme here?) 2 for side panel, 1 for cpu, 1 for back panel and 2 for top panel. cant see the front fans so dont need to swap them out - at least for that reason.

heres a close-up of the tpn 750. it is a "hybrid" modular psu, meaning that the motherboard, 2x pcie and 1 each molex and sata legs are permanent. flat black will go good, also jonny guru gave this psu a great review.

here is the psu rack which thankfully is attached with only 1 thumbscrew. tho if you have been with us since the beginning you will note that this is the third different sized thumbscrew used in the case. so far. also you can see the bottom pci slot cover with its cutout for usb3 passthru from mb i/o panel to front i/o panel of case.

to remove the motherboard tray, we have to first remove what is technically known as the "back" panel, held on by only 5 small phillips heads. (glad i have a power screwdriver). in my opinion, this is obviously a spot where thumbscrews should have been used (even if they were yet another size)

back panel off, motherboard tray slid halfway out. this is the minimum breakdown (along with large left side panel, small left side panel and whatever front panels you have to remove for opticals, controllers, etc) that must be done before starting your build.

this is it for now. updates in the next couple days, here. tennisball head is crapped out somewhere, but promises to help out with the actual building.

Oh God, I'm .. Love!! If they had built a version with 230mm fans all around, I'd ditch my haf 932 right now, but even as it is, excellent modularity, looks to be a great case!

I'm with you on that, but I don't know how I feel about the 120mm fans. The 230mm fans on the HAF932 are deadly silent and move tons of air.

you might be able to get one on the large side panel. and maybe even the top, because top fans/rads are mounted on the outside of the case.
