Hello everyone, I'm back with a new Brq Zero case and build.
this time a White with Light Blue accents.
Better build, better cable management, easier assembly. most importantly is repeatability in building it.
The last build I had here was the 4th version of the case (
Brq Zero: Spark) which at the time of posting it back then was in a relatively finished state although very much a prototype, functional nonetheless.
This build right here I consider a 7th version, although it's the 6th build, but because of the amount of updates in this single build, it is far more superior to the older versions.
I carry with me the 5th version, it's my daily driver, very easy to transport in the car when I travel to other locations, I use it mostly for 3D scanning and reverse engineering, and when there is time, I game on it as well.
this version is commissioned for a client that wanted different colors, so the challenge was to tune my Anycubic Kobra 2 Max for the new filament, adjust for the different Thermalright fans, the dimensions are larger than standard by a small margin but now it should fit any 80mm fan.
the major updates and upgrades to the case are the following.
1. cable management cover, doesn't take much, but good enough to hide most cables like 24pin and the 3 fans cables.
2. GPU holder now serves as two functions, other than holding the GPU in place, it adds greatly to the rear chassis rigidity, in previous versions, due to IO shield pushing outward, the rear flexes a lot, and that has been greatly reduced.
3. a better cover is added to hide the bulk of screws on the right side of the case that holds everything like the motherboard and cable management cover
4. better air flow due to having a slanted cable management cover, now the air going to the CPU is not restricted at all, not that I faced issues before, my version runs an i9-13900K and during heavy loads averages 80 which I'm more than ok with.
5. the top two front fans are controlled using one pwm port, the lower front fan on a seperate pwm, now I can truely utilize fan curves for GPU and CPU.
6. generally the case is more optimized in terms of assembly, tolerances are much better managed.
obviously this won't be the last build, and I'm looking forward to building more of this in the near future.
