My New Old Case

June 5, 2017, 16:17(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Since I have a few minutes I thought I would re-post the pics of my new/old case with a little explanation.

The case is an old Alienware Aurora 7500-R4 case (circa 2007) which I found on Craigslist:
(This despite Brian’s disdain for all things Alienware.)

The specs of the computer are as they were except I removed my Creative X-Fi Fatil1ty sound card.

OS: Windows 7, Win10, + openSUSE in a VM (with Windows 7, 8.1, 10 and other virtual machines.)
Intel I7-3770K CPU
Corsair H60 cooler
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 motherboard
32GB Crucial Ballistix memory
AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB DDR5 GDR
Monitor: 2 x Samsung S23C350
Samsung 850 Pro SSD 256GB (OSs)
Samsung 850 Evo SSD 500GB (VMs, etc)

I added the wheels.

Added a USB 3.0 drive bay. Same fan controller as old case. I just switched the light color.

Nothing fancy done to the inside.
