Nice parts. Interesting choice of casing though, but whatever works. :D

i am curious, can share how noisy is the pc?

1st impression from my friend was it was extremely silent.
(noise is always subjective though)
Thing about this case is, for the top 2 fans if the hatch is closed, they stop spinning. If you open it, the 2 fans will start to spin again.

Can I get an opinion on the zalman cooler you chose? thks

I tested this aio b4.
@ 100% fan spin-up, its damn loud.
Since its non "OCed", only running @ the CPU's max multiplier(x40),
there will not be any overheating issues.
I don't need to worry about the fan speed kicking in @ high temps.

I chose this over the regular type of 120mm block aio rad/fan was coz' this fan isn't enclosed so it actually circulates a fair amt of air around the pwm area w/o needing additional fans.

Nice.
Looking at this setup, I might follow your choice of mobo, cpu and cooler for my upgrade soon.
Thanks

He bought a gaming headset after that.
Speakers i think he will source for one a bit later.

whats the dimensions of the chassis? LxBxH
and also the weight? thanks in advc

Here's the box freight nett and gross weight :



It very heavy.
The sound proofing mats made it super heavy.

580(L)*205(H)*495(W)mm

Seems like no one talks about its weight...

Thanks shadow. :)
