[Project 2501 Build Log.]

What I'm currently working on.  Won't be running for another month or two.  Inspiration for this was the anime The Ghost In The Shell.  I wanted to build something that I thought would look like a PC in that movie, and the Snow Edition Level 10 has the perfect look IMO.

 

Parts list -

 

Case - Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition

MB - ASUS Formula VII

CPU - Intel i7 4790k - planning to OC

CPU Cooling - Thermaltake AIO Water Extreme 3.0

PSU - EVGA Supernova 1300 G2 (Wanted the White Toughpower 1250 DPS you had at CES, wasn't released so far, but if you're feeling generous.....)

GPU - nVidia 650 ti - (replacing next year to dual GPU's running SLI, using the current one from an older PC that went bad)

RAM - 16 GB G.SKILL Trident X 2400 (2 8GB sticks)

Fans - 2 x ENERMAX T.B. Vegas Duo UCTVD14A 140mm 2 Color (Blue/Red) LED Case Fan

           3 x ENERMAX T.B.VEGAS SINGLE UCTVS12P-R 120mm Case Fan

Mouse - Thermaltake Level 10 gaming mouse - Red

Headphones - Thermaltake Level 10

Keyboard - Thermaltake MEKA G UNIT red illuminated Cherry MX Black

ASUS ROG Front Panel

SSD - Samsung 128 GB Boot drive

HDD - 2 1TB HDD's running in RAID 0

Dual Monitor, will be expanding to tri-monitor set up in the future.

 

After replacing the video card next year, will install a custom water cooling loop.  Keeping an eye out for the cooling parts Thermaltake had on diaplay at the 2014 CES, might cut the top and make a custom top and put in a three fan rad.  Once it's up and running soon, it will be Project 2501 - Version .5, since it'll still be a work in progress.

[Level 10 M Headset problem]

Tte Martin,

Update - Little dab of glue and a clamp worked fine.  :D

[Level 10 M Headset problem]

I have a small dab of glue and a clamp on it, I'll check it tonight when I get home from work.  If the glue locks the adjustibility, I'll go through the customer portal and try to get a replacement, thanks for your help!

[White Toughpower DPS 1250]

Where is the WHITE Toughpower 1250W DPS Platinum you had on display at the 2014 CES?  I'm in the middle of a current build using a lot of Tt products, but couldn't wait for that any longer and went with (sadly) another brand.

[Level 10 M Headset problem]

Dissapointed in the Level 10 headset build quality.  For the most part it is an excellent set, nice, flat audio (which I prefer), very comfortable for long use, but the plastic screw mounts inside the clip at the edge of the top pad easily break, as you can see in the picture.

This can be easily fixed by applying some glue, but you may run into the issue of having the glue lock the headband in place.
