Some Parts

fittings for the rad, so i can move the unit, will be a lan party (CaKE Days) computer as well

Stripped again! been here before!????

well it will do for now!




Just some ideads of the build.


was going to try a complete all in one build, but may be a little heavy!


my idea for the rear fan vents and possible psu side vent, will depend on the side panels, if i make new or replace them.
