AeroCool X-Predator Evil Black

[thatjim]

Hey guys,


I'm new to the forums and I just wanted to show off the rig I ordered a couple of weeks ago. It's scheduled for a Saturday delivery, so I'm hoping to get my hands on it for this weekend. I'm currently at the 'In-building' stage awaiting testing.

I'm excited to get hold of this beast in a few days (hopefully)!


Thanks,

This is similar to the one I'm considering getting although I'm getting 2 TX 670's, I recommend 2 GT 670's because they are only a fraction less power than a 690, bit of money spent, but it would be worth it!

Thanks guys. Pics on Saturday :yes:

Now in 'Testing'

Delivered this morning :yes: I changed it to a weekday delivery because I couldn't wait

Pics later on this evening after I finish work.

I did a quick check and it all looks fantastic except for one thing. There is some damage to the bottom of the case, which looks to have occurred during transit. It's just superficial so I won't be sending it back, but it is disappointing after spending so much money on it. Let's hope the components are ok.

Oi, where are our promised pictures?!


Shame about the damage to the bottom of the case. PCS can only do so much to protect it, but as soon as they hand it over to the couriers, it's out of their hands/protection

Fingers crossed for you. Mine had a UK courier trip then one to Europe and all arrived nicely, hopefully that's the only problem you have.
