OK, so was looking at cases online wasting time last week and thought I need to do a new case. My old Lian-Li although an excellent case was starting to show its' battle wounds from countless upgrades and do-overs. Did not have any real money to spend, was looking at no more than $100.00 area. Ended up going with a NZXT S340 Elite Matte Black case as it was on sale and available from the local Micro Center near me. Thought it was a bit bigger than it was in person but managed to stuff it all in there. Graphics card barley fit as it is a tall one and the inlet\outlet port on it is right up against the glass cover but it fits. Here are some updated pics and it is updated on my Mod Rig in my sig. Let me know what you all think.

    Very nice!
     
    The specs is very close to what I would pick, but in a Cooler Master C700P case.

    Yes, an older one. That case has hosted several upgrades and redo's over the last 5 years or so.

    I have had my case for 5-6 years now. Only cost me $100. Would rather put that $300.00 for the Cooler Master case into more horsepower :).
    I grew up riding and 4 wheeling in the Mojave desert here is California. Kind of old school where I would rather have all the money under the hood and suspension rather that have everything looking pretty and powder coated. Heck more than likely going to roll it or flip it anyway :)

    "My baby" is a funny name for your Rig
     
    Looks very nice
     
    How about some info on your Loop
     
    are those 120mm or 140 mm fans on the radiators ?
     
    More details on how you mounted the rads in the back ....

    I hear you there man, I still own every Lian-Li case i've ever owned! One of the best quality tower makers out there. One of those "you don't know till you try things". Anyway beautiful rig! the external radiators are super awesome. You don't see many people doing that anymore.

    Its' not really the name of the rig, just that it is my baby because it seems to cost as much as having a real baby .
     
    Does not really have a name at this point, I guess Kramer-1 will work as that is the machine name for it on my network at home.
     
    XSPC RX240 radiator x2 - Panaflow Medium speed 120mm fans
    Swiftech MCP35x pump
    EK water block on graphics card (MSI SeaHawk EK X)
    XSPC Raystorm Neo CPU water block
     
    Using a Swiftech Radbox to mount the radiator pack to the back of the PC. (did not want to go internal mount route as this case is not big enough and did not want to move to a larger case)
    The Radbox mounts the upper rad to the case and I found these aluminum metal strips at Michael's craft store (they are for making wrist bracelets you can stamp designs in ) that I used to do a cross brace front and back on the radiators to hold them together. Made for a very rigid mount between the two and looks pretty cool (should have painted them black though).
    Eventually I will get a couple of quick disconnects for the rad so the whole rad pack can be easily removed from the PC for cleaning and maintenance.

    Looking great!  I haven't seen the old external swiftech rad mount in some time.  I think I still have a couple in a parts bin some where.  Very useful.  I really like the set up and great innovation on the bracket for the dual rads!

    Seriously? Gee, thanks for the compliment ("from horse to donkey").
    The PC-011 although a beautiful case is not would I would call affordable ($220.00 on sale). Not outrageous, but also not affordable.
    Again, as my topic said, I was looking for a case at the $100.00 area.
