Reason for the h100i V2?

I have the H100i in my current machine but recently broke the power connector on the block, so if I move the cable, I lose power. Just get a new one, which happens to be the V2.

Oh gotcha.

I had the H100i GTX (it was in between the h100i and h100i V2).

no pressure needed its like $80 plus prime shipping just do it

 

[bootyluvr]

I want a HTPC.

 

[FooBird]

Black outside, and white interior with white LED fans.

Damn scope creep has me to $800 in components.

 

[FooBird]

This is why I don't buy things. Evolving design...

 

[bootyluvr]

Fractal makes some great cases! I have the Fractal Design Define R5 (windowless).

The Node has been out for a bit and is compact

You been on PCPartPicker before Foo?

[FooBird]

^ that's how I fell into a rabbit hole and looked down that path. This will end up being interesting and you guys may only find out the specs once i actually do this.

Kept me up until too late last night.

 

[bootyluvr]

Now I want to build a Node 202...

 

[FooBird]

I know, right?

 

[Flightmaster127]

This is ridiculous and awesome at the same time.

 

[FooBird]

...and now I'm specifying a machine that the ONLY items that come over are two fans, the two SSD, and graphics card...

DAMMIT! Back over $1000!

 

[FooBird]

Do I even bother dragging the 2.5" SSDs over or do I just replace them with the M.2 SSDs. I can do those AND the two 2.5" SSDs and have 2 TB of solid storage.

Squee. And there it goes....F*** IT. FULL REBUILD!

 

[FooBird]

Going full retard. $1500.
