Pc Project : The build!

April 29th, 2010 | 1 Comment | Posted in Pc


After spending a few minutes eyeing over everything (Mostly the case), our build was on the way. The removable CPU tray made installation of the components really easy. As you can see here we had full access to the Mobo. Originally I wanted to mount the H50 rad in the front of the case, but after running into a slight snag we opted to run it near the rear which turned out for the best. This not only was a snap to install, it actually made sense as hot air would not be  stuck in the case longer than it had to.

Out of all the reasons I like the Level 10 case, this case makes cable management somewhat a breeze. Everything is tucked out of the way, which makes the presentation so much nicer.
Now that everything is wired up and put away, we installed the OS and got the software all up to date.This case to some might not be worth the expense; personally I find it’s worth the cost. Visually it’s striking and a conversation piece. The dynamics of the case in terms of air flow is exceptional, adding even a entry level water-cooling unit like I have is pretty much overkill for the average person.  It’s quiet like pin drop quiet, but probably the most important thing is its sturdy.

My unit weighs about 70-80lbs easy.
I’d like to give a special thanks to TristanX and DireDhanan for help with the build.

After acquiring the internals for my new rig, I found I was still searching for one key component. You see I needed a case, but not just any case. I required a case that I could not only live with ,but one that I may grow old with!  Last Saturday Kathleen from CC left me a voice mail stating that she had in her possession the very case which I have been looking for.After I Picked up the Thermaltake Level 10, my friends and I were off to build this monstrosity of abstract engineering!
More to come soon!

(Note to future buyers, It’s worth the extra shipping cost to get it delivered to your door. Just trust me on this, will make life a whole lot easier!)
