Case Labs MH10 - Hypernova *WIP*
| Rig type | Gaming Rig |
|---|---|
| Description | Still waiting for parts to be delivered and still filling out the rig builder info. The video card, cpu, and motherboard will be replaced in 2013 with GeForce GTX 700/Radeon HD 8000 series video cards, Haswell/Ivy Brige-E, and a X87/X79 motherboard. Most of the custom-made parts and modification will happen in 2013 due to prior 2012 budget limitations and influences. The 2013 work will include: custom-made mounting rails for new HDD cages, custom made trays for the HDD cages, lighting, radiator adapter plates, updated cable management, sleeving of all cables, etc. |

Part Update: 2 x Polk Audio Monitor60 Series II Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black), 1 x Polk Audio CS2 Series II Center Channel Speaker (Black), 1 x 100ft 12AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable (excessive AWG for the speakers, but the price wasn't all that different)
Still on the fence about purchasing paracord (cheap) or kobra sleeving (expensive-ish) for all my cables.
Upcoming orders: Another monitor arm for my older ASUS VW266H Black 25.5 LCD Monitor; aluminum/copper/acrylic/abs plastic sheets for making custom parts; 4/8/12/16 x SAS/SATA capable hot-swap backplanes for custom storage device bays and cages; another GeForce GTX TITAN within the next few months; video card waterblocks; in bulk molex terminal pins (derp, not enough left).
Upcoming orders:
Z87 Motherboard - purchase depending on performance, features, etc. over my current Sandy Bridge Z68 setup
GeForce GTX TITAN waterblock - waiting on part availability and proper reviews
Aluminum/Copper/Acrylic/ABS plastic sheets - for making various custom parts and panels;
4/8/12/16 x SAS/SATA capable hot-swap backplanes - for custom storage device bays and cages (I just need to make arrangements with a supplier);
Molex Terminal Pins (BULK) - I delayed ordering these to find a better price per part ratio.
Case Labs - More accessories needed as I changed the tentative build layout.
Vinyl - need more for updated build layout.
Water-cooling Fittings - Need more
