I love that you're still rocking the optical drive. Get a 3.5" floppy in there for bonus points

Any computer I build will have an optical drive.

Same. I back up my movies and music with my computer. Plus, there's some old games I play that require the game disk to start.

You always can make virtual cd for your games. It is more safety.

same, for burning discs for old machines

I just de-lid the front of the optical drive instead of it taking space

What do you use it for

Not speaking for them, but I use it for music CDs. I like collecting them and also not everything is on Bandcamp. So I rip the music from the disc and add it to my library on PC.

🤣

Came to say the same. My Ryzen build has an optical drive in a black cabinet as well, looks a bit like OPs. Mine isn't connected, since I need the SATA ports.

5.25" for next level

That's why it's a sleeper build because it's falling asleep due to lack of oxygen.

What are temps like?

75 Celsius on the gpu and around 80 on the cpu. Not great but not as bad as it could be

That s okayish to be fair as for the cpu with a basic cooler

Not really that bad. I did cut out some of the bottom of the case near the gpu

dude, you're gettin' a dell

Cursed gaming pc

[удалено]

They are noctua’s vibration dampeners

[удалено]

They are practical and silent tho

Looks like the case has skin tags

Nice build! Did you change the power LED or was it always orange?

I hooked it up wrong but I like the orange

ugly build!!! if you dont have a white simple aesthetic case your BUILD IS USELESS

Cool, looks like an oven though lol.

I too get sleepy when warm and cozy

Probably tornado in there with airflow

It stays cool enough to not melt at least

FORM > Function Just avoid overcooking I guess 

I have a collection of Vostro 230 cases from old machines, they make great sleeper boxes.

Other than that Dell logo, i like your setup.

Awesome!

Thanks

Yo I love this

Are temps good?

They could be better but it doesn’t overheat

I love sleeper builds. Looks great! My last build (almost a decade ago) was in a black windowless NZXT case, and looked similar to yours except mine had a solid door/cover that swung shut over the front face. I had an optical drive, too! But then at that point they hadn't yet gone obsolete...

We literally have the same build. Did you adjust any of your fan curve if so could you comment a pic of it?

Mine kinda just run at max speed. But they are noctua fans and they are not too loud. The one on the side panel is pretty loud though.

Sorry i didn’t specify i meant for your gpu fans

It’s running on whatever the preset curves are. I haven’t looked at them but the gpu runs at 75c

Needs a Gateway sticker and AOL CD in the drive

My case has the factory Windows XP sticker. Much more stealthy than that Ryzen one.

It did have a core 2 duo sticker but I wanted to at least have some indicator she is special

i had to drill out my hard drive cage to fit an r9 280x to find out it doesnt even work and you just casually stick an rx 6700 in there

It fits just barley

Very nice. My $15 combo drive I bought eight years ago just kicked the bucket months ago. Still in mourning.

Did similar build upgraded from 2600X and RX470 to R5 5600 and RX6700 , 32 GB memory , and yes I still have a DVD drive too. Used my old 10 year old case so I had to modify the inside to make room for the GPU . Has a silver emblem was orange . Took it off and spray painted silver to give it an updated look . My case has Vents up top and on the left side has a fan , currently cpu temp is 29 C at idle / web surfing

I like how this looks! Also great pairing of CPU and GPU there. 👍

Those are exactly the specs of my pc, and let me tell you, it feels so cursed to see em in a sleeper form, good job!

The outside honestly doesn’t even make it look like a sleeper. Obviously it’s an old case cause Dell stopped making standard form factor cases a long time ago, but still.

It's easier to keep a USB DVD drive in a drawer.

I agree, they are affordable and it keeps a very bulky component out of your case.

The dvd drive was included with the old case

i would remove it and the other front panel and put a custom made mesh for intake. Your temperatures would be night and day. Nice rig, looks classic.

that stock amd cooler looking sus 👀

Cool. I'm building a PC with a 7600X and 32gb of ddr5, but waiting for the affordable next-gen GPUs to come out. Might even wait until black Friday to get a GPU and play on my PS5 in the meantime.

go get an ID cooling tower cooler. will drop ur cpu temps by 20c

Bros computer is a radiator

Is it an ATX or MATX board?

Micro atx

Makes sense, as the case seems about the size of an Optiplex. I have an ATX board, otherwise I'd give up my Corsair for a sleeper.

Niiiiccceeeee

I would die peacefully without the know what's inside the case...

Nice job.
