I wanted to share with you guys a project that I started back in December. I'm pretty close to finished so I guess I'll just photo bomb you guys with the progress so far

The case I bought used with two big holes drilled up top from the previous owner

So I bought these

And mounted them to the case like so

With fill ports up top

My Pump I'll be using

Cool ram coolers!!!

Next I made a template for my motherboard because I need my current system running and then I just plan on migrating the hardware over to the new case

Fake motheroard installed

Here is the concept for the motherboard shield I plan on having made

I'm making all the panels from heavy board first to make sure everything is going to work.




Testing fake motherboard shield

new keyboard. Mionix zibal 60!

Installing radiator mount

koolance 360

Smoked acrylic top! (with plastic still on)

new backplate

Now all the carboard testing is done I had all the pieces laser cut from acrylic for another round of testing








A few more tweaks and over to the waterjet cutters!!!



Some of the new pieces I had to bend myself




Test fitting the new pieces




Everything somewhat in place... still needs a bit of fine tuning

New Front Grill

Test fitting new Motherboard shield


New Fans

New Leds

New puppy

And off to get powder coated! I ended up going with a textured matte black. I really like how it turned out. It makes the system look really solid.


fans and radiator installed







Thats it for now... Still a bit of work to do but should have it all wrapped up soon!!!
Thanks everyone that checks out the worklog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
