Hi, I've been on these forums for ahwile. But real life has gotten in the way of things and I just havn't had the time to post anything new.
I've had this case for a few years, and like I explained in another thread, I never had the original hardware. It's also missing the right side skirt and I had to make a IO shield frame holder out of aluminum. Not sure what else to call it. Not the IO shield but the place where you mount one was missing.
I had to rewire all the leds and switches becasue propietary headers, also I needed to make a mod to mount another fan inside.
I think I had around 126 FPS in Crisis at max settings @ 1920x1200 Resolution. Dont quote me I should run the tests again.
Long story short.
I found a computer at a Habitat for Humanity and when I looked inside it was a P8P68 Delux with a 2600k and 32 GB of ram. It was cheap.
I put it in a vintage Intergraph TDZ2000 case and added a EVGA 650 P5 PSU to it.
Bought a GTX Titan X from South korea for $100
Installed an Xfi, I plan replacing later with this Auzentech Prelude I bought recently.
Threw in some noctua and corsair maglev type fans, SSD, BD Rom/burner, USB front Panel and there you have it.
Total cost if I'm being honest is around 400 Dollars US. But mostly the parts I already had. Thats probably what I have in it anyways. I feel ike its really closer to 200 if you only count what I bought recently to put it together.
I plan on adding another SSD I have laying around here and install win 7 and windows 10 on. Also I have a 2TB drive I would like to use.
I might make a custom side panel with a plexy glass window and add a purple/blue LED inside. I haven't decided since this case isn't exacty a museum piece and it doesn't really matter since I don't have the rest of it.
