Case Died :(

[Sgt_Swanny]

So was away for a week and moved my setup out of sight just incase if someone wanted to steal it. Stored it the washroom/bathroom. Once back home wanted moved my setup back to my desk. took the side panel off to make it lighter. The whole panel became a million smaller panels. 

 

I didn't knock it, I think it was little colded. 

 

The case is a Corsair 5000x, which came to market last year so thought I will be able to order a spare one. Corsair has none in stock, So new case for me right before the Christmas Hoildays!

Yeah, this is the bad part about having actual glass for the side panel.

 

It looks really nice and doesn't scratch easily like acrylic does, but they can shatter like that if you're not careful with them and can be quite expensive to replace.

This is a press F to pay respects moment. 

 

Getting anything at the moment is a nightmare. Don't blame you getting that new case. Which one was it again ?

...that's a bummer ! I've got 3 pieces of tempered glass from my TT Core P8 at my feet at the working area as I'm updating the Ravens build...put a note on my workbench ('look down')

 

...btw, have you considered get a nice, thick clear acrylic panel cut to size as replacement ? That used to be hyper expensive, but with the market for acrylic dividers (bank tellers, restaurants), there's much more supply (up to 5 mm easy) at much lower costs.

I did a quick search, I couldn't find the side panel either. 

 

I did find this: 

[Small dent on side panel]Corsair 5000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Black

WWW.EBAY.COM

---

<p>[ Small dent on side panel]Corsair 5000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Black.</p><br /><p>Small dent on side panel</p><p>Comes with original box.</p>

 If you want to spend ~$150 you could buy this and just use it for the side panel which should be the same as yours.

@ENTERPRISE Just purchased the Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic. Should be here tomorrow. 

@UltraMega & @J7SC_OrionCorsair do a replacment panel for only £19.99 plus £5.00 shipping which would have been awesome if they had any stock. I also want to get a case ASAP as i have a toddler who likes to touch things he shouldn't and also I wanted a new case regardless. Just tell the my partner I said that. She'll be piss.

Thanks, that is the one. It is a nice dual chamber case and should do you well, just no throwing it around !

Great case. I love mine. I am spoiled rotten for these dual chambered cases now. The O-11 Dynamic gave me a lot of what I had complained about with my previous Corsair Air 540.

My next case whenever I do a new build will certainly be dual chamber, just so much easier from a build sense and looks wise can certainly help.

Lately, I started building in the Thermaltake (TT) Core P series which can be wall-mounted, set up as a test-bench or used as a regular 'case'. BTW, I'm aware that not everyone likes TT and their earlier shenanigans re. Caselabs, but what comes around, goes around (ie. TT Core P7 > Cooler Master Masterframe).

 

Before re-configuring it recently for two mobos, My TT Core P5 build carried an E-ATX Threadripper mobo, 5x thick 360 rads and 5x D5 pumps...

 

The dual-mobo build below is in a TT Core P8 which can be configured various different ways as well. It comes with tempered glass on three sides, as well as mesh. It is HUGE and weighs a lot but it is hard to look at any other case after this one for future builds.  The key for these TT Core series cases is that they offer a superb foundation for extensive custom work...all that is really needed is a Dremel, a drill and a tap and die set.

That looks like a sweet case actually, though I have to ask, why 5x D5's ? Did you have them run in series for backup reasons ?

...dual-loop, with a standard minimum per loop of at least 2x D5 for fail-over etc...

That makes sense. I like to have 2x pumps in my rig for fail-over too.
