Death the Kid
Rest in peace, mate - 15 Aug '21
Hello.
So doing the usual google searches for dual system builds a rather interesting case pops up, the Phanteks Enthoo Mini XL DS:
a case designed to accept either a single uATX board or 1x m-ITX board and 1x m-ATX board. The bit that caught my attention was this device:
The Phanteks Power splitter, used to split the cpu and motherboard power from 1 PSU to 2 motherboards. So with that in mind we set forth on journey of discovery. FYI ordering the case and shipping to S.A at the time of searching would work out to roughly 6k so... that wasn't gonna happen. So I grabbed the next best thing
a Corsair Air240
And of course the most crucial bit
Which luckily Phanteks does sell seperately
So the rest of the items which will be featuring in this build, most of which were part of my original storage rig and some which I had laying about.
1st Machine:
Intel i5-3470
Intel h77df
AMD 7770
Samsung 750 EVO 250GB SSD
Adata 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
2nd Machine:
Intel i7-2600
Biostar H61MG v3
Sandisk 256GB SS
Kingston 4gb DDR3
Storage drives:
4x2TB
2x4TB
all powered by an Antec NEO ECO 550M 550W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Semi Modular Desktop Power Supply. The choice of Power supply might seem weird but I needed a PSU with a length no longer than 140cm, since space is at such a premium in the air240. This list was a reaally helpful guide http://www.overclock.net/t/1537311/...g-non-atx-small-case-friendly-rev-2-june-2015
Specs for this rig are definitely not the latest and greatest however they should do just fine for running some light games and storing what little pR0n I have
just a little heads up, a few steps in this log might be glossed over for now as I failed to take photos of quite a bit of things, however I will definitely be posting more as I update and make some changes
