Description

Featured build... Wow thanks! :D much appreciated

About a year ago I posted my Red Dragon build. Today I present my new build. I named it Toxic Manta.

Even last year I thought about a miniITX build but due to several reasons I decided to use a ATX board instead.

The base for this build is the NZXT Manta case in black. It is more subtle than a white one and red wasn't my color of choice this time.

The cables are made by myself again. I used sleeve from MDPC-X and some other stuff like the connectors and cable combs from Gosumodz.

The first pictures shows a Cryorig C1 as CPU cooler. I changed it to a NZXT Kraken X52 rev2 ;)

The desk is the IKEA Karlby walnut countertop and the ALEX drawer and cubicle. The countertop is 186cm wide so a lot of place :)

You mean the Ryzen logo at the right? This is a SSD cover I bought at ColdZero The Strix Logo below that is a SSD cover as well.

Fun fact: ordering the SSD cover in Portugal was cheaper than ordering them in Germany including shipping costs :D

Nice build the cables and parts all look great just sucks that you got your 1070 at what i got my 1070 ti at. I know the 1070 ti might not be worth the extra money but it was the same price as a 1070 for a bit of a performance boost so i couldn't pass it up but great job on the build and the feature.

Thank you :D

The room is still in progress ^ All in all I like a clean setup and it is strange how much space a keyboard, mouse and computer case can take on a nearly 2 meter wide desk xD

Congrats on the feature. Nice build! Love what you did with the Ryzen box I'm assuming. And the cable management is spot on! Great job

IKEA Karlby walnut countertop and ALEX drawer. The most used desk combo at the moment I think :o)

Is the desk wide enough to accommodate a dual monitor setup?

25" and 27"?

  • 20 months ago
  • 1 point

The desk is 186cm wide (73.23 inches) The distance to the computer case could be a bit small if you use two 27" monitor and mount them centered to the desk

  • 20 months ago

I am probably going to mount them with a clamp. Where one mounitor drifts off the side of the desk. While ny gaming monitor is centered a bit

  • 20 months ago

Normally a 27" monitor is about 60cm wide. My monitor is about 82cm wide so if you center your gaming monitor there should be no problem :)

How do you like that monitor?

I like the monitor. A lot of space for work. :) I'm working with Blender sometimes and it is great to use it on a 21:9 with 3440x1440

Are those cable extensions or fully modular cables?

Nice work

  • 20 months ago

The 24 pin cable is a extension I made, the CPU and VGA cables are both fully modular ones

You didn't see how it looks under my desk xD But I'm working on it :)

This is really besides the point but what kind of desk is that..? It’s a really smooth looking desk and that’s something I’m kind of looking for! Thank you!

The desk is the IKEA Karlby walnut countertop and the ALEX drawer and cubicle. The countertop is the 186cm wide version.

Some people drill holes in it to hide the mouse and keyboard cable. I prefer sleeving both cables together so it looks like one :)

Does it come with the radiator???

  • 17 months ago
  • 1 point

The radiator is part of the NZXT X52. The NZXT X52 is a AiO water cooling system. It is ready-to-use and contains the CPU cooler with a top mounted pump/reservoir and the radiator with fans.

How have you managed to get a NZXT liquid cooler (which needs a 2.0 usb header) and the usb 3.0 ports on the front of the case to both work?

Thanks mate. I agree with you and I was positive surprised to see my build as a featured one.

Which doesn't mean the other (expensive) builds aren't worth it. They looks great and if I ever have the chance to build a pc without having a look to my pocket it would be a pleasure to use the chance :D
