MightyMaik's new NZXT Source 210 build

post #1 of 22
Thread Starter 
Well, this isn't a true "build log" to say, I was way too excited to start building and I didn't have the patience to take pics throughout the build. I did; however, take the time to take pics after the build was finished. I got home from boyscouts at 9 PM last and didn't stop until 2 AM biggrin.gif. I was so excited for this and was hoping to build my own computer since my 13th birthday two years ago. Anyway, back to the log.

Specs:
NZXT source 210
Asus M5A99X Evo
FX 4100
Gskill value series 4GBx2
Asus Radeon HD 7770
Silverstone 600W PSU
Mushkin Chronos Enhanced 120GB Sata III drive
NZXT Sentry Mesh Controller
Asus 24X DVD Burner
Rosewill 120mm case fan x 7
AS5 Thermal Paste
Rosewill 300mbps PCI-E wi-fi adapter
Windows 7 home 64-bit OEM

700
Laying out the boxes Just for fun lol.


700
First inside look at case, very good cable management for only $40 case.


700
A look at the SSD, it is beautiful.


700

700
Better look at cable management, wasn't hard for a non-modular PSU.


700

700
Front and back looks, love the FX case badge.


I enjoyed every minute of it and I will be back with an update later with game performance and benchmarks before overclocking. Thank you for checking out my build and I hope to see you soon. Also, allow me to say it was a pleasure to work in this case. From now on I will be using NZXT in all future builds.

That source 210 is such a nice little case to fit almost midrange build in and its not over the top. Now drop the stock cooler and get to clocking

Does anyone think this is a good CPU cooler?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103100

I measured my case and the Hyper 212+ will not fit. This is a low-profile solution and looks a lot better than stock.

Xigamatek Loki is a good option or the Arctic cooling freezer 7. Both good for thbprice and use a 92mm fan

Thank you for the suggestions. I was just curious if the MOSFET or RAM overhang was worth it on the CM GeminII S524 for overclocking.

Edit: Found this review of the CM GeminII S524, the AC Freezer 7 was 10C hotter then the CM. Looks like I'll be getting the GeminII.
