First my thanks goes out to Jim (CaseLabs) for providing this beautiful case
Received this beautiful gift on my birthday

DSC06851.jpg

DSC06850.jpg

Offcourse unwrapping it right away

DSC06852.jpg

DSC06855.jpg

DSC06854.jpg

Once out of the box

DSC06856.jpg

DSC06858.jpg

DSC06872.jpg

DSC06873.jpg

DSC06874.jpg

One of the finest cases I've ever seen, quality is superb

DSC06867.jpg

DSC06868.jpg

DSC06870.jpg

And with an XL window on the right side

DSC06876.jpg

DSC06877.jpg

And also on the left side

DSC06878.jpg

After admiring the outside for some time, the inside

DSC06859.jpg

With 3 HDD cages

DSC06864.jpg

Attached with screws and rubbers

DSC06961.jpg

Pins to hold everything in place

DSC06964.jpg

With two vertical accessory mounts

DSC06860.jpg

DSC06861.jpg

DSC06862.jpg

Once everything is removed there is a lot of space for a nice WC setup

DSC06900.jpg

DSC06901.jpg

Other side also perfect quality

DSC06879.jpg

Place at the bottom for a 360 radiator

DSC06881.jpg

Passages for tubes and / or wiring

DSC06882.jpg

DSC06890.jpg

8 Slots is enough

DSC06885.jpg

And enough space for various purposes

DSC06884.jpg

Also with a Horizontal Accessory Mount

DSC06887.jpg

And included 2x Lamptron switches which also perfectly finished

DSC06883.jpg

Already sleeved

DSC06960.jpg

The windows also very nice and simple mounted

DSC06905.jpg

Nothing pasted or with bent strips, but with nuts

DSC06907.jpg

So always easy to exchange if necessary. After damage or any other acrylic color replacing. Clamping mechanism is also well thought

DSC06908.jpg

DSC06912.jpg

DSC06910.jpg

This is also applied to the front and top panel, which is also removable

DSC06914.jpg

DSC06897.jpg

Space for 3x 120mm fans

DSC06896.jpg

But that's not all. There was another package

DSC06917.jpg

DSC06847.jpg

Quickly unwrapping it again

DSC06918.jpg

And it is the extended pedestal, for all your radiators and other stuff

DSC06920.jpg

DSC06924.jpg

DSC06920.jpg

At the back holes for 2x 140mm fan

DSC06926.jpg

DSC06931.jpg

So much space inside, but I choose for a bracket for 2x 360 radiator

DSC06928.jpg

The front also has a removable panel. Always nice to mod

DSC06929.jpg

So the extended pedastal. Lots of extra space, a real nice addition

DSC06932.jpg

Once installed everything, I was shocked

DSC06935.jpg

Really big

DSC06946.jpg

DSC06938.jpg

DSC06950.jpg

DSC06953.jpg

Some more pictures of the beautiful extra addition

DSC06939.jpg

DSC06936.jpg

DSC06955.jpg

DSC06956.jpg

DSC06959.jpg

So a new build with a superb case from:

DSC06944.jpg

Before we even get to modding, an overview of all the accessories

One Standard HDD Cage is coming with the case

DSC06965.jpg

DSC06970.jpg

Ordered two more

DSC06967.jpg

DSC06969.jpg

With gaskets and mounting bolts for the HDDs

DSC06995.jpg

DSC06999.jpg

DSC06998.jpg

DSC07006.jpg

Two Vertical Accessory Mount

DSC06972.jpg

DSC06990.jpg

DSC06993.jpg

Two x 360 Radiator Side Mount For in the pedestal

Update!!!

Ok, my friends Its modding time smile.gif
Beneed the top cover there are holes for 120mm fans, which I dont need.
These will disappear, because I want a good view from all sides

So taped and marked

DSC07010.jpg

Always an exciting moment...the first cut-out

DSC07013.jpg

DSC07017.jpg

I also slightly modified the recesses in the bottom of the case. There were also holes for 120mm fans (3x) on both sides

DSC07015.jpg

Between the pedestal and the case I have inserted an acrylic plate, which makes the separation between the two

DSC07018.jpg

Later i am gonna use fill ports for the tubes and/ or acrylic pipes

DSC07020.jpg

DSC07022.jpg

In the top cover I also made openings ​​with the same size as the recesses underneath

DSC07023.jpg

DSC07025.jpg

DSC07028.jpg

Piece of acrylic for the top window

DSC07030.jpg

DSC07031.jpg

DSC07033.jpg

For the front I also did some cutting, but first marking

DSC07037.jpg

DSC07038.jpg

The same dimensions as the 5.25 bays

DSC07039.jpg

DSC07041.jpg

Piece of acrylic behind

DSC07043.jpg

Going to use the exciting fanholes because of the 360 rad behind it later

DSC07044.jpg

DSC07061.jpg

DSC07046.jpg

To keep the color combination (black / silver) I have cut a piece of aluminum with the fanholes. And a hole for the switch. This is further extended to the right with displays, and more switches in the middle.

DSC07062.jpg

What's going to look like this

DSC07054.jpg

More to come wink.gif
