Since I have mounted a new system to use for gaming, I was thinking in leaving my I7 3820 as a LanBox project. To do so, I needed a smaller case. This is where the ThermalTake Versa H15 entered. It's a mATX case, that can support 240mm rad on the front side (if 5.25" bay is removed). It's a very nice case for a small project such as mine. To the Configs! MB: Asus Rampage IV Gene CPU: I7 3820 Mem: Corsair Vengeance PRO Red 1600 Mhz (4x4Gb) PSU: EVGA 550w SuperNOVA G3 Sleeve Cables: Red Sleeved Cables from EVGA to G3 series; Storage: 60Gb Sandisk SSD (I will be replacing this one with a RAID0 Samsung if it goes well). Water Cooler: Corsair H100i V1 Custom PSU Shroud from Titan Case Labs (adapted with Dremel work) Mods Rigs Page: https://www.modsrigs.com/detail.aspx?BuildID=36027 Next week I will be creating a new thread with my upcoming "Project Tesseract".

Nice, I still love Black and Red Any plans on upgrading the Graphics Card? PS Did you stop Folding or move over to Mining? Sorry forgot this.... +1 Red & Black is still the way to go.

I will update GPU as well. I was using an old 960 SSC before, but I selled it last week for a friend. I did stop folding for a time (energy in Brazil is crazy expensive these last months). Should be back folding soon if everything goes nice.

Nice build! I really like the PSU shroud and the 2.5" bays. What are the power cables going over the AIO tubing on the right side? Can't see them with the side panel on so it's not really a big deal, just not my style. On a side note, if you want an upgrade the Xeon e5-1620 and e5-1650 V1 or V2 can be found on ebay for reasonable prices and can be overclocked. Good luck on your new project!

Oh sorry, That's the old GPU Power Cable I didn't took out . Will leave there for a future upgrade on the GPU. Hey blamb83m thanks for the heads up on the Xeons. I will definitly look into those for a update.

No need to apologize, I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure. Makes a lot more sense now. Hope you can find a good gpu to put in there to make it a more balanced system. Also I think it's great that you were willing to sell your old gpu to a friend. I do as much of this as possible to help out friends. Last year alone I built and gave away 6 systems for friends and family from spare parts donated by a friend of mine.

Whoa man. That's is really nice from your part. I try love to build pc for my friends, and as much as I like to help them. I have sold my 960SSC for something around $90,00. Mainly, this friend only plays LOL (he is using a first gen I3 on his computer, so even LOL was terrible to play with iGPU). So far so good, he has been very happy about it. The city I leave doesn't have this much spare pieces to do something like you do. But I would definitly do the same if possible. Way to go man, thumbs up to you on this

Thanks a lot bdary . So. Since I have selled my old GTX 960SSC to a friend, This old warrior will come to the LanBox Project. It's a GTX 660Ti 3Gb Superclocked+ (03G-P4-2666-KR) Back in the day, I had two of these guys SLIed, and man, they were damn fine in SLI.

Indeed. Specially for RMA purposes (if, like me, you don't have the cross ship RMA avaible to go).

I keep a cheap extra GPU lying around just in case. Like when you need to send your video card to EVGA for stepup purposes.

Mostly why I also keep a spare GPU around. In April I will need to send my FTW3 to EVGA for RMA, because of the Hybrid Kit issue on the cards.
