Aurora R12, Case Swapped!

IMG-0368.jpgIMG-0370.jpgIMG-0374.jpg

I've been case swapping this PC for a while and I wanted to show the (almost) finished product! I'm going to upgrade the CPU cooler over the stock one in a later on. If anyone has questions on how to do this, I'll answer if I don't forget.

    Newbie here, no experience with case swapping, did you have any problems with the motherboard or cable management?

    This video talks about everything you shouldn't have any issues other than needing cable extensions for the power supply

    very nice,. im going to attempt a case swap on my R12,..my current specs are win 11 pro,  112gb DDR4 ram kingston fury beast,. msi rtx 3060 12gb vram, stock i5 11400f,  a pcie triple SSD adapter with fan, i switched the top case fan to a 6000rpm one and took the stock dell (rated 3000rpm) where the HDD cage was and theres also another 2 inch fan in there too,. so 4 fans now instead of 2,. it still runs good, fast,. but sounds alot like an aircraft when playing forza,.. for speakers i use a Bose 600 soundbar and dual Bose 10" subwoofers, models 300, and 500,..i love it, the neighbours hate it,..wrapped in razer everything(keyboard, mouse, mat, webcam,) and a 30" curved 2k screen.
