Quick build in a Seasonic Syncro

[Fluxmaven]

So I picked up the Seasonic Syncro q704 and 750w PSU on sale just because it was a neat concept and a great deal. A nice case, 4 all black gentle typhoons, and a quality Seasonic PSU for under $150! Didn't have a use case in mind but I build a lot of PCs so I knew it would come in handy.

 

My buddy has a pretty unique setup where he has a PC with 5 monitors and he just RDPs into his other rendering stations to spread his workload across multiple PCs. This is one of the headless workstations. I recently helped him get the 3070 and couldn't stand to see him running it on an old Corsair CX PSU in a beat up Obsidian 750D that's probably had 4 different builds in it. So I decided to steal the PC and swap it into this case. It only took about an hour to swap everything over and required almost no cable management for a clean build. He's swapping to a standing desk and his PCs are going on shelves on the wall behind it, so I'll try and add some nice pics when I help him mount the shelves and set everything up.

This is neat, I'm glad somebody did this since I saw it on sale a month or two ago and I was tempted and very intrigued, but I had no good use for it. Any thoughts on the unique cabling system itself?

The cable system works really well. Everything is laid out close to where it needs to go so throwing a system together is a breeze. It also has a fan hub built in which I didn't use but could be handy. 

 

The case itself isn't the most attractive case, but it's built really well.

Interesting, hopefully this is successful enough that they branch out and do more cases (ideally some smaller ones) with this system. Would be really cool as a space-saving thing.

I think it would actually have a lot better chance of taking off if they focused on small form factor. It would be more beneficial in a smaller case where minimizing cable clutter is more important.

Yeah, that was my main thought as well. Then I'd just want some custom sleeved cables, but it'd probably look fantastic.
