Cheers!

It came out better than expected, I think I might include a Koru in every one of my mods from now on. I might even hide on on pwny. Some fan grill mesh made from lazer cut koru's would be cool I think.

Exceptionally well made case, the angled front gives it a different look combined with the Koru and the acrylic work, top stuff here

Very nicely done, jacobthellamer.

You bite off a lot with a first time scratch built case and going liquid cooling at the same time, but you pulled it off really well.

The front panel Koru (beautiful naturally occurring symmetry) and the lighting behind it look awesome!

Congratulations to you for completing your endeavor.

Just wanted to thank you for participating and making this contest the success it was. It could not have been possible without you and your great mod. If you commented on my thread--I really thank you and deeply appreciate you taking the time to do so! It is a sign of an open mind and genuine comradeship, kudos!

I hope to see you again next year with a smashing project that will leave us in awe.

Cheers and Saludos

All parts are in

I have some 90Â° fittings coming soon and will tidy up the water cooling a little more.
