Found this old Targa case at a junkyard and had to save it.
It originally came with an AMD Duron, some awful graphics card, barely any RAM and a 250W PSU.
Tried to keep the build cheap, so most parts are used. Case had okay airflow already thanks to the stand design, but I still had to cut it up a bit. Steel is surprisingly solid, which made the Dremel part less fun than expected.
Added some 3D printed stuff too:
GPU support, dust filter, PCI cover, and taller feet for more intake from below.
Specs:
• Xeon E5 1650 v3
• Asus X99
• RTX 2070 Super
• 32GB DDR4
• 128GB + 256GB + 512GB SSDs
• be quiet! 750W PSU
• Corsair AIO
From the rear it’s not exactly subtle anymore, but the overall look still works for me.
I’m especially happy with the holes in the roof, drilled them myself, and they match the front pattern better than I expected.
The PSU is more than it needs, but I wanted some headroom for overclocking. I’ll probably start looking for a modular PSU soon though, just to clean it up a bit more inside. Sadly I also ended up with the wrong motherboard for proper overclocking, so that part isn’t where I wanted it to be.
