    Having multiple monitors can be very productive.  How many monitors do you have on your gaming rig?  One of our team members has five monitors just for work!

    esmeraldady3 reacted to Representtexas in [Build Thread] Nk-1 Chaser "Green Screen" HTPC   
    Hello Thermaltake,
     
    I have a build thread going over at OC.net and I just saw the announcement of your new community forum. 
     
    I have decided to be one of the first to share my build here since the new build is based on cutting up my old thermaltek Mk-1 Chaser chassis. 
     
     
    I recently finishing up my first attempt at hard pipe water cooling for the Corsair Domination contest and have grown bored now that it is complete. (for now at least) Link to most recent build thread.

    I am in desperate need of an HTPC that can house my collection of "legally obtained" media, personal family photos, years of home movies and many many Johnny Cash mp3s.

    I had planned to start this project in August and purchasing the newly announced Corsair Air 240 mini however, I have a few spare parts laying around and it feels silly to not take advantage of what I have and use the money that I would have spent on upgrading my main rig next year.

    In an earlier build, I had been using a 400mm Phobya Rad that sat OUTSIDE my case and decided that it looked cheesy so I threw it aside and forgot all about it, until now.

    Just recently, we were watching a movie in the living room and it hit me, that 400mm rad should be the main piece of hardware in my upcoming HTPC build. It's large enough to cool the spare A10-5800k and the 200mm fans on low settings should be inaudible. Brilliant. (or so I hope)

    Only, what case out there can house a 400mm fan internally?... Surely my old Mk-1 Chaser from thermaltake couldn't hold it...unless.

    After building many a PCs... all for fun and not for profit..I have never once taken to saws and paint. All of my builds have been hardware/watercooling expressions of love...but fear kept me from mutilating a $100+ investment on cases that looked great as they were imo. Now I have a reason to saw..a reason to buy a rotary...a reason to walk out of home depot with sheets of acrylic and an expression of confidence that can only be found by a man on a mission. Wish me luck. 

    Current Parts list:
    AMD A10 - 5800k Thermaltake Full Tower (Mk-1 Chaser) 1200 InWin Commander PSU (iffy, as it seems like way too overkill but it's what I got) A ton of left over clear PETG Rigid tubing from PrimoChill Swiftech MCP655 Pump (G1/4 threaded) PrimoChill CTRâ„¢ Compression Tube Reservoir System Phase 2 - 240mm Clear Phobya 400mm rad Needs
    One SDD and at least 8tb of HDD space Gigabyte Sniper A88x Some green RAM (not decided) AMD water block (Brand undecided, leaning towards the EK clear so the green liquid can show) Green/Black/Grey MDPC sleeving (first time, super exciting about this!!!) 4x 200 MM fans(Probably black with green accents and no LEDs) Looking for a unique Mesh that will keep dust out and not look to tacky Green accent lighting (Still undecided, so many ideas to chose from) Numerous sheets of acrylic, this will be my first time playing with acrylic sheets so I may get carried away. Sorry in advance. Build Mission

    To build a Full Tower HTPC that can internally house my 400mm Phobya rad, be completely silent, CLEAN, green themed, powerful enough for HD movies/light gaming now with enough pre-planning to easily upgrade to 4K capability in the future and just showy enough to have visitors ask me what the #### is that when they step into my living room.

    Welcome to the System build thread! 
     
    In the system builds section of the forum you can share photos of your rig, build logs or even come here to ask questions regarding system builds! 
     
    Please take a minute to read the rules
     
    Tt community forums are a place where people can interact and have discussions about several different topics. However, we ask that you follow these simple guidelines to ensure that the forums have some productive conversation. These rules and guidelines are enforced by administrators and moderators, and at their discretion, may delete posts without warning that do not comply. Also, failure to comply with these rules may result in a ban from the forums or the entire site!
     
    - No "Flaming" -- writing hostile or insulting messages aimed at other users for their views, comments, status as a user on the site, or any other reason. You can disagree with someone's views and still be polite about it.
    - No "Trolling" -- posting controversial (sometimes off-topic) messages with the intent of baiting other users to reply.
    - No "Spamming" -- No advertisements, or referral links to other services. We also classify "spam" as short replies which do not contribute to a forum thread in a positive manner. Some forum threads expect short messages, but otherwise short messages are highly discouraged. Do not post for the sake of forum post count... your posts will be removed if we see you posting unhelpful or non-contributing messages.
    - No "Necro" behavior -- posting replies on very old (dead) threads which have not been locked. We only allow "Necro" replies in VERY rare circumstances, all other cases will find your reply removed. If you feel strongly enough about posting a reply, please discuss with a Moderator whether to start a new thread of discussion.
    - No discussions of software piracy, hacking, illegal material, or linking to these activities will be tolerated.
    - Do not post material that is hateful or mean towards race, religion, ####, or any other offensive nature.
    - Do not post offensive content, or links to offensive content. Keep everything Safe for Work, and remember that kids visit the web site.
    - No excessive swearing or language. If you're that angry about something, take a break from the forums for a while, or confront the other user directly instead of in the forums. Also, do not attempt to use any means to bypass our profanity filter, such as misspelling a cuss word, or using punctuation or spaces. We are much more likely to ban users for this behavior than those who let the profanity filter replace cuss words with *'s instead. Still, excessive swearing can get you in trouble too, so keep it clean.
    - No posting of any text which bypasses our profanity filters by purposely misspelling, using letter/symbol substitutions or any other means to bypass our censoring. You will only get one warning for this, then you will be banned from the site.
    - Please do not "hijack" a forum thread by changing the subject. If you want to change the subject, please start a new message thread.
    - Do not complain about getting banned, and do not make another account to circumvent a ban. Do not complain about other users being banned, in the forums or on profile pages of other users.
    - Do not complain if a moderator removes a message you posted. We trust our moderators, and if they've removed a message, they had a good reason.
    - Do not post any personal information about you or anyone else. We don't want to know your street address.
    - Turn off your caps lock, do not use excessive ALL CAPS in your posts.
    - Do not post messages containing images of typed text, especially in an alternate color. This confuses other members who may think you have some special authority, which is against our Terms and Conditions. It also defeats our search engine, which cannot read your message text.
     
    Thank you for your cooperation and have fun
