The only way to DIY - small, provincial, dazzling, transparent, simple acrylic box plus ghost MAX out of the box

All DIY players are from simple to complex and have seen the scenery along the way. In the end, it will be complicated and simple.....

As early as last year, there was the idea of ​​creating a small chassis. As the space in the room became smaller and smaller, this matter was finally put on the agenda. The work of the preliminary inspection was indispensable. We looked at all kinds of chassis, from the ordinary first horse to TT to Joe Sibo to the thieves and then to various small chassis. However, there are inevitable disadvantages of various sizes, defects in the I/O panel, and lack of heat dissipation performance.

Finalized a range of star open day Q5, Joe Sibo C2C3V4 and TT a pure black chassis. Of course, there is a full-acrylic horizontal chassis recommended by others. At the beginning, it did not count the entire acrylic box because it was really troublesome for DIY kits. However, in the end, considering the various types of defects in the chassis above, it has not met my routing conditions. In the end, I chose the full acrylic box. I wouldn’t invest too much in the early stages. After all, I must be reserved for the first time.

In fact, the last straw that crushed me was that a certain baseman had given me a “Ghost MAX” from the United States and gave me a Cool Radiator that I didn’t have in China. If I didn’t buy a cool perspective chassis, this was It's not a matter of dust

So the final adjustment came down, a DIY custom acrylic chassis (the data temporarily using the seller's ATX horizontal small chassis) can continue to follow their own models in accordance with the explosive design changes, the hardware used last installed R5 1600 + x370pro+ 3000 bar of thieves ships, Radiator chooses the ghost MAX gifted by Gibson. In fact, the motherboard originally wanted to buy a smaller ITX or M-ATX board. Unfortunately, there are too few boards available for the Ryzen platform. Otherwise, the chassis can be more compact..

Unpacking display:

â–¼Ryzen 1600, in the middle is the Ghost MAX from the base courier, behind the Asus X370 PRO from a single acrylic box


â–¼The ghost MAX brought back from the United States, I heard that there is no sale in the country

â–¼ The box is almost the same as the radiator package that comes with Ryzen

â–¼ Specter MAX real capacity, there is also a light control line and a USB cable


â–¼ As far as the front photo is concerned, it looks really good. Similar to ghosts of previous generations

â–¼The face value is also OK

â–¼The position of the wiring is on one of the sides, there is a rubber plug

â–¼The bottom of the pure copper heat sink, 4 cooling tube cooling

â–¼ The number of cooling fins is also very impressive

â–¼ with the original radiator inside Ryzen 1600, several times larger

â–¼ first install the motherboard part


â–¼ Acrylic chassis out of the box, is a bunch of boards and accessories, all have to piece together

â–¼ A pile of boards, a box, a set of pipes, there is no

â–¼Inside box accessories

â–¼2 Acrylic Boards, I/O Panel Lines, Switches, Steps, Screws

â–¼There are many types of screws, sellers are also intimate and gave the classification box

â–¼Cool steel switch

â–¼I/O panel, negotiated with the seller hoped to have pure black, but unfortunately the seller said no, it seems that after the need to find their own material

â–¼Aluminum tube connecting plates


â–¼A total of 6 aluminum tubes, 4 long and 2 short

â–¼ Acrylic sheet, no tear film.

â–¼ originally wanted to use the full penetration of Aggreko, but taking into account the desktop is slightly narrow, afraid to dazzle to himself, and finally only selected on the transparent, other tea with

â–¼All the accessories, purely on their own hand to set up the chassis

â–¼ first get the I/O panel interface

â–¼ Then the bottom of the heel and aluminum tube

â–¼ slowly put together back

â–¼ left and right side

â–¼Fixed, it took me almost half an hour, then you can start tearing the film on the motherboard

â–¼Rely on these small screws and aluminum tubes to fix

â–¼Into the motherboard, first connect the line of the I/O panel

(Could someone ask, my RX 488 and 588, because of mine tide, so I shot it, and so VEGA)

Currently only use R5 230 light machine

â–¼ Put in power. Here is a more compact line. It is estimated that only the module power can be put in, so in the end of DIY, the power of the module is indispensable.

â–¼ Then the hard disk

â–¼ Then cover the I/O panel, access switch

â–¼ This is the effect of not tearing the film, because now tear will scratch

â–¼ Last cover, here I chose the transparent panel

â–¼Almost forgot the fan....


â–¼The last time it was temporarily completed, the estimate is wrong, there is still a missing fan


Behind the line, there is no back cover, because it is horizontal, so in the end here will be below. Because of the problem of heat dissipation in the air duct, hollowing was chosen. Excellent heat dissipation performance, the problem is not to prevent small animals, so later need their own DIY magnetic dustproof net installed

â–¼ Choose to start tearing the film. The hole behind it is still open. The fan's hole is slightly larger

â–¼ The front I/O panel is better if it is changed to pure black

â–¼ plate fit is very good. No more outstanding



experience feelings:

â–¼ horizontal chassis, the final effect, just in the corner pity, if it is better vertical, can save space. Unfortunately, at present, the seller does not have a vertical acrylic opening design. He can only wait for a later time to find his own data. At present, it is still possible to try a horizontal style.

â–¼ Select the transparent acrylic panel, the lighting effect is first class. Cool, more lights are better


â–¼ The positive effect, select the brown acrylic plate, so that you can filter. Do not lighten your eyes when you are sitting

â–¼ Actually not really bright, purely because I opened the light, it is convenient to look into it, actually look positive, because the reason of the brown system is not to feel dazzling, very soft feeling

â–¼ In fact, if it is ITX, it can be smaller, so it is more pleasing to the eye and can only be retrofitted later.

The effect of the land occupation is currently the case. Still slightly longer, if it is ITX, the length will be small enough to be just right. If it is vertical, it will be able to use the space more rationally. With this experience, you will be able to design better chassis yourself.


to sum up:

1, Ghosts sent by Giga on MAX are good, they can sustain value, no wonder someone buys

2. The practical effect of DIY's Aggreko chassis is really good, and the price is not too expensive compared to other small chassis. Better able to create and design effects according to your own requirements

3, after all, in order to dissipate heat, the bottom is hollow, so in order to prevent small animals still need to get their own magnet dust net, the current thermal performance can also

4, horizontal chassis or an area of ​​coverage, there is data and capacity should be established horizontal chassis, of course, if there is ITX, or M-ATX board with itself can be designed to be shorter

5. The design of the power supply has indeed increased a lot of space. If it can protect the heat dissipation of the air duct, it can be designed to be better on the left blank motherboard.


I hope that you will have a lot of DIY players who communicate with the acrylic chassis. I also want to design my own vertical acrylic chassis. At present, the test water still occupies a little more space. I must wait until later to design a vertical chassis.
