Elegance by MetallicAcid

MetallicAcid's

Thank you to my sponsors:

Welcome to my project named Elegance.

This is a personal project which will be used as a light gaming/HTPC in the living room. With this PC I plan on introducing some games to my wife, and hope to spark up an interest in co-op gaming. There is a strong focus on design with this project as there is not alot of space to work with. I plan on focusing on extremely clean cables, a sleek industrial interior and improving the ventilation to the Graphics card. This project is named Elegance as I want this project to have a sleek look inside which matches the brushed look on the outside. There will be super clean cabling, and will also be a better performer than stock

This project will consist of the following hardware:
CPU: Intel Pentium 20th Anniversary Edition G3258
CPU cooler: Cryorig C7
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87N-Wifi
GPU: EVGA GTX750Ti 2GB ITX
PSU: SilverStone SX600-G
SSD: OCZ ARC100 240GB
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 8GB 1866mhz
Chassis: Raijintek Metis Silver - Windowed

The mods that will happen:
This project will have my custom signature inside paneling with a brushed finish. These panels will cover and streamline the inside of the chassis, and various components.
I will reverse the reverse layout, so that the chassis' motherboard orientation will be as a standard chassis. This is for 2 reasons: 1. No one has done it before and 2. To improve and supply airflow to the graphics card.
Create an IO shield and Wifi card panel on the motherboard
Maybe install watercooling loop.

Final words..
So with this all said and done, let's get on with the project shall we?

Kind regards,
Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Thank you to my sponsors:

Update 1

Chassis photoshoot and inverting the inverted orientation.

Upon closer inspection of this lovely chassis, I noticed this chassis has a very simplified construction, which is using only screws. I also noticed that the chassis sides can be mirrored in a way that I can reverse the motherboard orientation with almost no modding! So I went ahead and reversed it

Let's start with the chassis photoshoot, and some playing around:

After flipping the motherboard like this, I noticed that I just needed to drill and tap 2 M4 screw holes. So I went ahead with this mod:

This is an awesome and easy mod that almost anyone can do. This is also a great way to fix the thermals of any GPU which is used as it will be able to draw in fresh air from under the chassis, where the HDD/SSD holes are. If you want maximum airflow, you can always pull out your trusty Dremel and get to cutting. Just think about a dust filter and you will be fine Remember that this chassis is aluminium, and SilverStone's magnetic dust filters will not work..

I really hope you have enjoyed this mod, and might want to try the same thing yourself

Kind regards,
Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Haha Since I am from Australia, everything is upside-down for me, so inverting the motherboard to the right side up made it upside down for me.. So technically it is on it's correct side.

Great stuff!! Just remember that the maximum GPU length with the PSU in this position in relation to the motherboard PCIE slot is only 17cm.

Thank you man! I would prefer not to be slapped though if I do not water cool this beast... Everything depends on the budget, or if a water cooling company would like to sponsor that adventure. Right now though I am building it to be air cooled.

That'd be great! But I have a problem, the GPU I bought is 18.1cm, although I'm going to use a SFX PSU with a bracket, so going to have do some measurements before I commit!

Again, great project! Imho, go air cooled

Air cooled I have decided. It looks to tough with the H7 cooler

relocating the PSU is so simple with this chassis. I have just used some 3M velcro and stuck the PSU on the wall, so the entire floor is free for a GPU of any size.

Looks promising with the bent fins on the H7!

I returned the graphics card and bought a shorter one on sale. But I think I'll stick with the reversed, I like the layout alot

Keep up the good work man.

Hey guys and girls!!

I would like to continue this build log with showing most of the parts which I have collected so far, with the rest pf them shown later on. This project would probably not have happened without the help of my sponsors Inet, Gigabyte, OCZ, SilverStone, Cryorig and Raijintek, so thank you once again! Intermittent updates will appear with these parts over the next few days, then we get to the nitty gritty action!

This will be a great project, I'm sure! And the cryorig stuff is amazing. Just installed the R1 looks awesome, although, got to big for my project, so I will have to try the c1.
Looking forward to hear what you think about the QF fans!

The R1 looks amazing that's for sure. The C1 is so pretty that I wish I owned one just to look at it. The QF fans should be nice as they spin at max 1000rpm. I will let you guys know how they are!

Hopefully.. Feels unlikely though. I've always wanted to mod the case but it feels so remote since I don't know any modders nor do I know where to get in contact with one.
Oh well.. I'll just stick to watching the pro's do what they do instead

I was really afraid of modding as well until I just jumped in and started. Just try it out yourself by cutting and filing on a test piece of scrap metal to get a feel for it first, before you do the real thing on your chassis' side panel.

Thank you to Inet and OCZ who have provided an OCZ ARC100 240GB SSD to this project!

Daniel at Inet has been really supportive with helping me by contacting OCZ and acquiring a sample of OCZ's legendary ARC100 SSD, which have been tested to run at least 5times their rated limit. Also, the build quality of this SSD is solid featuring an all aluminium chassis.

More updates coming very soon!
