Luca's X99 #1

Finally I have found time for some shots of my new rig, but my Prodigy is still here

Damn I like Prodigy too much but mainboard is too big for my lil case and I don't like the mATX version..

Antec's case isn't so big but you can put inside a 240mm rad (not sure about custom loop) and high-end GPU!

Aw: Luca's X99 #2

Nice Luca! Now your rig is silent?
I have to say ... I really like this case from Antec. It kind of makes me want to do a drill mod

Yes!

2x120 silent on front, 2x120 quiet pwm on rad..all good

780dc2 is quiet as well in 2D..so now is more or less all good!

Re: Luca's X99 #5

I'm not a big fan of neon and leds..just for be clear, the two small green leds of 780 are already too much

Then there aren't windows so..or you keep it open or are useless! Keep it open is an option, because looks so nice!

Regarding the case nothing to say since I really like it! Small, with some good space inside for every components and in aluminum that is always something of premium. imho could be nice if there was a spot on front for a 180 or 200mm fan or some extra air vent without ruin the design of front panel.

I have checked around if someone did some mod or so, but sadly is not so famous and it's a shame; with a 960 or 970 and some i5 can be a very small and good machine. You can put almost everything inside without any issue.

Hmm, some custom water cooling worth rigid tubing would be nice then

Re: Luca's X99 #7

Maybe the next days a little upgrade

I don't spoiler anything but here a little clue.. I'm in Legacy (yea for some weird reason) and I have to move in UEFI in order to do this change!

Re: Luca's X99 #8

Well..today is arrived! It's a Samsung XP941 128 shipped from a friend

Since I'm on W7 x64 in Legacy (dunno why ..) and M.2 works only in UEFI I should convert my partitions and clone it..honestly I think I will wait a couple of months for W10 and install in a proper way on M.2.
