Long time build, had her up and running months back before I decided to sell off my FX-4130 and GTX 480 and some other hardware. Just was not enough power...

My attempts so far with the time I've had on my hands waiting for more money for the past few months to put the build back together, nothing too extreme kinda keeping this one subtle and clean as possible.

I'm looking to go with a FX-6300 for the CPU & looking at 8Gb of RAM in total as this will be a home theater/gaming living room rig, I'd like to crank up to a 8320 or 8350 but I'm not finding any reason for the extra juice.

But enough words bring on the pictures! :popcorn:

Painted the Back I/O shield did not come out 100% but came close enough for me just a couple tiny paint lines not coming out exact.

Very nice. That's the deep silence 2 case? How do you like it? Was thinking of buying It this weekend.
 
There are lots of things I would love to go with on this build trust me, water cooling is one of them, but this case is hard to work with just on wire management there is hardly enough room for my single sleeved 24pin with all the others wires running around the back I have to press the door on with my weight while its on the floor.

As this build goes along with the time I've put in it I hope I can finish before a whole new chipset lineup comes into play.

First time sewing my cables and felt it went well besides making the 6pin so tight when I went to bend the wires to feed them through the back the pins kept coming out of the connector which required me to cut all the sewing 6 runs in total and redo them....

I kept going OCD on the 24pin and 6 pins to be uniform black,grey,black,grey and it was driving me nuts on how they would never cooperate with me is to why I decided the hell with it I'm going to sew them!:bang head
 
Very nice build, jprhome not a lot of people realize the patience and time it takes to sleeve and tie those wires as well as you have. :thup:
 
The DS2 is amazing for what you pay for not to mention when I recieved this case from Amazon.com the whole front bezel was broken off from the case and the door was broken off also along with cracks.

I emailed Nanoxia pictures of the case and asked them if there was a possibility to buy replacement parts.

There customer support responds to me that they will send a whole new front bezel and front filter for free only confident great companies do that for there customers.

The DS2 is sturdy and very quite all the drive cages are metal which actually made me more confident in the product.

My only negative on this chassis is the cable routing room if only the back door just popped out a little more.
 
The accessories that came with the case plus fans feels like a great deal if you can get this for under 100 with shipping
