First piece has been ordered and it's on its way. The Hyte Y60

Congrats! I love my Y60. Nice to see something that's not a 011

It's odd that I'm getting the case first, but I'm selling my old parts as part of this upgrade. So first is the case. Then the motherboard, then the cooler. Then the RAM. Then the PSU. Then the CPU. Then the GPU

#

I'm doing this after I get the parts so I can make some money back.

How much did you pay? I've been seeing it on sale for $160 lately.

$200 to get it sooner. It would've Been $170 if I bought from Amazon

Newegg sent mine pretty quickly. It took about 4 days.

Update: the case shipped. Arriving Thursday

Update: It's on its way to my regional facility, where it'll be put on a van and delivered to my house

Do us proud with that fish tank 👍🏽

#

It'll be a while until it's a truly worthy build. First I gotta go through a period of motherboard dwarfism

#

PSU is next after the motherboard. Then cooler upgrade, then RAM upgrade. Then CPU. Then GPU

Ladies and Gentlemen! It arrived!

merry surge Dec 29, 2022, 8:11 PM

#

So far

#

And no I'm not gonna peel the plastic off. I'm keeping that bitch on because it's tempered glass. Fingerprint magnet

fickle igloo Dec 29, 2022, 8:19 PM

#

You take that plastic off right now. then order a thing of glass wipes 🙂

uncut cosmos Dec 29, 2022, 8:43 PM

#

I've had my white Hyte Y60 but I'm waiting on Watercooling parts. But yes, I leave plastic on too until the very last minute.

#

That ugly ASUS antenna is magnetic if you take the bottom piece off. So you can hide it behind the case.

fickle igloo Dec 29, 2022, 8:45 PM

#

Or just use an ethernet cable and put that antenna back in the box

uncut cosmos Dec 29, 2022, 8:46 PM

#

That's not a choice for some people. Depends on where the router is and the cable run.

fickle igloo Dec 29, 2022, 8:47 PM

#

I would rather run a 100ft cable right down the middle of a room if it meant not using wifi

uncut cosmos Dec 29, 2022, 8:47 PM

#

Yeah; I ran a 20 Ft to my room. Lol

I'm gonna move my setup when I can to better accommodate the case

Looks good 👍 My Hyte showed up dented but I fixed the dent and got my money back Pepe_KEK

It'll look even better once I've got the white board

#

such and odd case from interior angles, how is the airflow since it curves around?

civic stone Dec 31, 2022, 4:53 PM

#

Damn, what if I had a soundcard, would it be able to fit with that vertical mounted gpu?

uncut cosmos Dec 31, 2022, 8:25 PM

#

@civic stone They have enough room between the GPU mount and the PCI-e slots for half height cards.
