I did not build the computer until early June when I got back to Saudi Arabia (where I spent my summer).
This picture was taken at my high school, simply in an effort to compare the sizes of my two cases.
Here is the new case right from the box. Since I was shipping it back to Saudi, along witht my old setup (thermaltake Armor+) and my old parts from my first setup, I had to do some engineering to get it ready to fly. I had to put all of my old parts (old evga 680i, ddr2 ram, old cd drive, etc) into the new case, because I did not have time to put the current parts in the new case, and put old parts back into the old case. So i ended up putting all my old stuff into the Canyon. Once I finally got it all back to Saudi I took apart both machines, and swapped the "guts" if you will
Once I finally got back to Saudi (The night I arrived lulz) I started stripping down my old machine that you can see above.
Now here is during the "swapping" stage of this project. Like I said, I literaly took everything out of one case, and put it in the other. And NO, I dont like pink, but my sister stole my blue sheets.
Here is the back side of the Canyon. Im a cable management freak so I took a picture of the back so you could see it. The cable managament in the front of the case (where the motherboard goes) is better in the Canyon, but managament behind the mobo tray is better in the thermaltake, but only because the Canyon is thinner in width than the Armor, so the Canyon bows when you put cords behind the mobo tray. I spent too much time stuffing cords into slots and tracks so I could get the back panel on.
Two quick pics of the central compartment where the motherboard goes. The case itself is broken into three seperate compartments, the top one for the power supply and optical drives, and central for the motherboard, and the lower for the hard drives.
And here is the completed project. I had to stand on a chair to get this picture, and still didnt get the entire case lol. When I took these pics I did not have the GTX295 yet, that was days later. But lost the SD card I had those pics on, so I will add them in December when I bring my rig back college with me.
There ya go, theres my current setup. If you have questions concerning any of the parts I have or if you are planning to buy them, or are just shoppping, im more than happy to answer.
Thanks
