Lian Li HydroShift & Edge PSU: perfect for a dual-chamber build!

[@DarwinBrookes-ss6on]

Absolutely love the looks of that. I know dual chamber cases now seem to annoy a lot of people, but the world is very bitter as a rule. Anyone old enough will remember the biege square boxes with IDE cables inside blocking everything - PC sector today is amazing.

[@KitGuruTech]

I remember those cases and IDE cables very well, the joy of manually setting master and slave drives was like nothing else 🙃

[@moonstomper68]

@DarwinBrookes-ss6on Those were the days. I remember buying cases at the PC fairs and taking a hole cutter to them immediately to make 80mm fan mounting points that you had to buy metal grills to cover, and ATI was the GPU king. No dual chamber, in fact no glass

[@aquilarossa5191]

I just got the 360TL version for a 9950X. The Kraken 280mm one I have is quite new but doesn't really cut the mustard, so my nephew is getting it for Xmas. The highest core count AMD and Intel chips these days can zoom up to their thermal limits in a split second. It takes a lot of cooling to prevent throttling. The 280mm AIO is only just coping, so I can't run PBO -- not that PBO is worth it for every day use I figure (bench tests a little better, but uses lots more power to do it). I have a Lian Li Lan Cool 206 case. I did not want a dual case, because it would take up too much space. I am really impressed with the quality, especially with the back panel and how tidy it all is with the wiring and nice touches for preventing it looking like spaghetti junction. I also like the two big 160mm front fans. They look cool moving lots of air quietly (important because it's a digital audio workstation). I have a Corsair RM850 PSU. I wish it had nicer cables like in this video. It has the non-braided plastic looking ones. They're shite. I'll look for a cable kit I guess -- once I work out what's what with them all. We left England for NZ when i was 15. Not so many options here. Better than it was in the 1990s, but nothing like some countries that are so spoiled for choice. Stuff cost loads more here too. The price we pay for living in such a nice spot I guess (I miss my football, there's no Jaffa Cakes, and the fish'n'chip shops here do not have vinegar -- heathens lol). P.S. In the new year it will be time to upgrade my GPU. I try not to give that leather jacket wearing Nvidia bloke my money if I can help it. Monopolist pricks. AMD are not making it easy though. Early next year their new card is out. Supposed to be mid range and called the 8800XT. Hopefully it's good and priced well. We'll see. No way am I paying $5K NZ money for a RTX 5090 (a RTX 4090 is almost £2000 here, which is daylight effing robbery). BTW. Late convert to RGB. I was "why the eff would I want my PC to look like a Xmas tree?". But once I saw it in person I kind of liked it. Now it's all RBG after finally retiring my trusty Noctua air cooler. :)
