[Build Log] THOR v2 Kurruppt's Edition

I've Been Waiting To Build A Custom Case Since I Was 11 Years Old After Playing With A Whole 2 Car Garage Full To The Ceiling With 286's And 386's But Never Had The Money Or Tools To Do It So I'm Building As I Go.
After Getting My Rosewill Thor V2 Case I Didn't Really Need Any Modding Done Until I Got My Asus Crosshair V Forumla Board.
So I Decided That I Kind Of Wanted To Match The Theme Of That Or Lease Of The Black And Red.

So After Searching The Net I Couldn't Find Anyone That Yet To Modded A Rosewill Thor Case To I Guess I Might Be The First.
I Am Reusing My Old Hardware For Now.

Ok So I Already Started A Week Or So Ago And Here Is What I Have So Far. I Didn't Want To Start This Until I Had Something To Put My Computer In First So I Can Use It.


Here Is My Rigged Case For Now And Stop Laughing


Pulled All The Mesh From The Front Panel


Painted All The Mesh And Go Them Back In


Might Have To Take These Outside To Get Better Lighting


Got My PCI Slot Covers Painted. I Had To Redo One Of Them Because It Jumped Off The Hook.


Got My Case All Apart


After A Few Weeks Of Thinking What Window To Put In My Side Panel I Have Came Up With A Design I Liked.
