My new build.... trials and tribulations....

- Start date
There are some traps in HAVN 420, especially VGPU, so check all the spaces twice. The case is nice, if you have proper components 
Joe already knows what I mean. If anyone else thinks of buying one, I can expand my thoughts.
For sure, it's the only case that I know with a working PCIe 5.0 riser.

Update......
Bought a Montech King 95 Ultra case, vGPU mount, and 5.0 riser cable. Once I get that put together (next week/weekend), I'll post some updated pics.
System-wise, I've kept the 64GB kit at DDR5-6000 CL28 1:1 and that's been fine...... though, I have to say, alt-tabbing in/out of games on this system hiccups whereas on Intel, was like that. Not sure why it's happening, but it is.

Vgpu bracket and new 5.0 cable... it comes in pieces so I didn't have to remove the 4.0 cable and just strapped the 5.0 on. I went with silver as a contrast to a black card (4090 Suprim) or works with a white card (5090). The board is black and silver as is the chassis. Should be a pretty clean look when it's all said and done.
Dear case.... would you get here already?????!!

I like my Montech Case i have, I just needed something bigger so i can work around inside taking up space when i need to make a change. Have a push/pull 360mm rad up that just take up space.
I did canabilise the 5.0 riser for future up grades. This will be my first time dealing with RGB fanes and speeds in the bios.
I linda suprised ED you arent using this as just a test bench to buil id on first , That is its a keep or not.

That looks like a nice case (Montech King 95 X case). Sadly, my radiators limit me to the cases I can use. I had to buy a used Thermaltake Tower 900 just to accommodate my radiators because two out of the three cases that support them were either discontinued or extremely hard to find. The good thing is that I found a Thermaltake Tower 900 locally for a decent price and bought it. Had some missing stuff and looks like they spill red fluid on it but is what can host my radiators so I can't complain. Dang 2x 560mm radiators! hahaha

Check the bottom screen swap from rear to front and decide if you can live with it. There is only some minor trimming of plastic involved. If you change your mind you can reverse it and nobody would know the difference.

We all know whether or not you should is that you're going to!

Well, the swap was successful! Only one modification to make this GPU fit..... I had to hack up some extra bit of IO shield as it was blocking the vertical riser. Most motherboards don't have this extra tab. It's not in final position as I need to tighten down the GPU to the frame (right now it and the vertical mount are supported by some hidden legos... haha! I'll get more pics... but for now, going to try playing some games.

You're not wrong.
I played games until I shouldn't have, didn't snap any good pics, and now I'm working.
So, here's a shitty pic to hold the fiends over.
It's not retail ready... keep your pants on!

That card is massive! Will it make your case tip over? It looks like it needs to be on my case for that extra weight support. hahaha!

One thing i have to say is that vGPU bracket needs support with almost any GPU (or maybe I put it in wrong, LOL). The problem with supporting it is there are fans and you can't place a typical strut on the fans (though the legos work well in between them, lol).
Moar pics.
I didn't flip the dust cover around...I thought it detracted from the clean look of the front. I'll move this thing and do it.

And you will be doing it often sitting on that carpet...
Perhaps a plastic/rubber mat will help?

That is one of the best use of legos I have seen so far. lolOne thing i have to say is that vGPU bracket needs support with almost any GPU (or maybe I put it in wrong, LOL).
