No, I dont. Thanks you for liking my update but quoting all the pics is to much wink.gif

Bottom pedestal looks like it was there in the first place because it follows the lines of the original case so well. Great work thumb.gif

I like this thread. A lot. The pedestal looks brilliant.
I've always though that Alienware cases would look top-notch if the cables were sleeved and hidden a bit better + black solder mask on all the PCBs.

I'll be hanging around here thumb.gif

sub'd to see how this turns out... and my i be the first (here) to recomend atleast having all the mobo conections tubeless? thumb.gif... you are probably the most skilled with acrylic tubes i have seen so far smile.gif

EDIT: and that is a rather nice case on its own once it had been torn down... they would probably make some decent profit if they just sold teh case OEM tongue.gif

It all will be acrylic tubes, but the CPU cooler is going to stay. Maybe some tube sleeving for this one

@kier

Have you thought about disassembling the CPU cooler, taking out the pump and such (or even just using it) and just using the block In a custom loop? I agree that the block part looks amazing, but the rest of the loop is no big deal IMO tongue.gif
