Downsize
Taking a Cooler Master 690 II Advanced rotating the motherboard 180 degrees and cutting it all down into a smaller size!
I'm afraid that I will have to start this log off with a chunk of reading because it is important to know what I am trying to do 
I just recently finished my first water cooled rig in a Core 1000 (Work Log here) And I am super happy with it but I have always been a fan of the Silverstone FT-02 and its rotated motherboard. Especially after seeing lowfat's build it inspired me to ditch the Matx form factor and move back to a large case. But that was never gonna happen so I was thinking of what I could do and looking around OCN when I came upon a CM 690 II mod thread and it made me realize that I have one of these beautiful cases in my closet collecting dust! So as it says above I plan on rotating the motherboard 90 degrees to the right and cutting the case down so that it is smaller, similar to the size of a core 1000 while still trying to retain the look of the 690. I will admit this is a project and will take some time to finish as I am very busy... I will eventually finish it but there is no saying when
I am about 75% sure of what I am gonna do but I have never tried to do something like this before so help will be needed along the way 
Thats all for now but please sub and help me through this journey! 
Well that was the old idea but now I have moved on to what you see now!!!!! Look below for updates
