Thanks. 🙂
very interesting! I have always admired the nordic countries design philosophy which seem to allow their people to cope with the mind numbing, dull, boring, self harm inducing clinicians office feeling much of the society and long winters have their affect on the people. the chair which I recognize from ikea too is very cool. in the early 80s my now long past grandad had a leather chair that looked similar to that but in tan with off white stitching and steel tool embossing with tiny celtic pattern lines. I don't remember too well but the metal frame was either smooth and chrome or paint lacquered with a dimple effect though I may be confusing it for a chair my nan used to use to sit outside in the garden admiring her handywork. When I saw it at ikea for the first time it brought up a lot of good memories.
The chair is actually not IKEA but a copy of a design chair. I have lots of color around the house, as I find the modern white/black theme very boring. But overall still a minimalistic approach.
ikea likely copied it. the chair isn't sold anymore and if memory serves wasn't very comfortable, compared to grandad's which was. idk the lack of color would help you see any critters like spiders or snakes, or some one whose broken into your flat and slowly sneaking up to you waiting to drive a long stake into your back and you can quickly make out their shadow as they slowly slew across the parquet.
He did his best with the wires though, casually all over the place. Then there's the old school (slight) GPU sag. I think it should get the seal of approval even in the absence of any Delta industrial fan.
I'll give it to you on the GPU sag, but his wires are beautiful compared to whatever I'll be turning in once I get this system up and running. I'm already doing "cable management" and it'll be great once I get all the fan headers hooked up! Not even bothering with the ARGB crap. The backpanel is so cluttered thanks to that nonsense. Thanks MSI.
There wasn't room for the video card support bracket in the case, it blocked the large power cable. Being able to route wires on the backside of the case is definitely something that has improved in case design since 2014.
Theres no window, so I don't care 😛 Also I try to go for a relatively silent build, so no Delta Screamers....
Now that you mention it, it doesn't look safe considering the size of the card and the weight of all that metal. Biostud better prop it up with a GPU support bracket. Or steal one of his kids' barbie dolls 😀
My chair is a copy af this Charles Eames chair. It's some Polish brand. My experience with IKEA chairs, are that they are pretty bad, but I sit really well in my chair, which is now 10 years old.
You can still make it look good even with RGB crap. 😉 It helps having the right RGB crap though!
MSI did some pre-routing of cables on their Velox 100R case which was kind of nice, but the ARGB stuff included with the fans, plus the controller, is just all in the way. So if you don't absolutely want that feature, it's really quite an impediment.
Perhaps a zip tie from ceiling?
Yeah, fans that have cables for both fan and RGB for each fan would be much more difficult to contain. I purposely went with the Lian Li fans for this reason. One cable for each set of fans. Believe it or not there are 2 controllers in that picture, both are held inside the top hard drive cage.
Mine's just sort of jammed into the backside of the motherboard tray.
Hardware readings preferred. System power consumption. Like for like.
