Thoughts on new PC.

That is just looking very slick. It needs a caution accent, like a yellow and black alternating stripe somewhere or maybe red and white, depending on your tastes.

Not sure I’m taking color advice from you… :wink:

I was considering Flight Data Recorder orange…

I had a can of black, so I went with that.
This is just a short term solution, anyway.
The more I think about it, the more I feel the need for a new and improved SimBox. Something that sets up faster, so I can open and close it for just a single session…

This will be the ON-OFF button.
Tomorrow I can actually start installing the hardware…!

I drew my glue gun, and covered the structural holes, in the box, with filters.
That will stop most of the dust from entering, while letting air inside…I hope!

Leak testing…
I had to use the clear tubing, that came with the cooling kit. The black tube, that I got from the same producer, just wouldn’t fit. The inner diameter seems to be slightly smaller.

The blue coolant reminds me of the toilet liquid they use on our aircraft… :wink:

Still no leaks! A bubble here and there, on the inside, but looking good!

Further on in the build…

One i7 8700K in place.

1TB of M2 goodness, underneath the heatsink.

Them G.Skills sure are chunky!

Let’s see how this will fit inside the box…

You a-seem to a-need some artistic suggerimenti on a-how to a-improve yourra a-case! Mamma mia!

Yeah, NOW you woke up from your extended riposo…
A bit late for this round, my pasta loving friend.
But next time. I will be making a combined SimBox with integrated PC case! You will have your work cut out for you. :wink:

On new hardware, yes. On hardware ca. 2011, hold on to your butts cause you’re in for a ride.
