Turns out my MSI X99a Godlike Gaming Carbon is something of a collectible. Maybe I can flip an old Fatal1ty case I have in storage for one of those fancy chromed up espesso machines. brb

If you watch LGR reviews on YouTube, he talks about building old systems with original parts and how expensive it is.  A shitload of systems/components had problems (capacitors) and were trashed,  or were scrapped for metals or whatever, or because there was a period of rapid advancements, a lot of stuff was churned through quickly - like extremely noticeable differences on a yearly basis.

And there is a serious community of people out there who play their favorite games on period-accurate systems.

Case fans?

The Lian Li LANCOOL 217 comes loaded with 5 fans, including twin 170s up front.  Reviews say they are quiet and perform well, but if I find out otherwise, I can always replace them.  Top exhaust will be handled by the AIO CPU cooler.

Pro tip:  If using a SFX PSU in an mid-ATX build, check the length of the included cables.  Build is on hold while I await my PSU replacement.  

Note:  I am not a pro.  

Why were you going with SFX anyway in a case that large? Or was it just left over from a previous build?

It is an efficient and quiet performer, and I thought the extra room would be nice to have.

How fast are those fans to be putting out so much heat it's lighting up your case?  That shit's going to melt!

If it's able to take off from the treadmill before it melts, i will consider it a success.

That glow is from the brakes on the fans, trying to keep the tower from taking off.  Think 24 hours of Le Mans at night...
