Project Xeta
Introducing Project Xeta!
With the dog days of Summer, I could no longer suffer with an enclosed case heating everything up. This would make fans ramp up loudly and it drove me crazy as I previously had Corsair LL fans.. However, browsing around has landed me onto the Xproto-L which is an open air concept that has alot of modules in which allows me to reuse alot of parts I have on hand and swap the fans out with Noctua NF-A12 Chromaxes.
The Xproto-L is unique, and the build quality is magnificent. The screws did not strip, the paint did not scratch, and the panels do not bend much if not at all!
I will put all my trust in lifting this build above my head and not have it collapse is how magnificent the build quality is!
For the riser cable, a genuine Linkup PCIE Gen 4 cable is provided. The case has many modules as I am using dual 360 AIO rad mounts. I custom mounted the reservoir next to the GPU, using Dewire strips for fan cables, and aquacomputer OCTO for control.
Cables were made by Ensourced Cables check them out!
