Project: Moab

[drag.n.drop]

Decided to turn my current wip into a worklog for anyone that is interested.

What I am working on is a coolermaster advanced 120 itx case that I would like to have a military feel to it.

Currently I have done the following:

-removed the 5.25 bay as I will not be using it
-Cut and sleeved all cables to fit the case
-Painted the interior a flat gray
-Painted my gpu fan shroud flat Army green

Sorry about the lack of progress pictures but here are some shots of the computer presently.

Interesting idea to paint the interior grey. I've got a bunch of cases where the biggest thing I want to do is get rid of the grey interior! :D Should go nicely with your theme though, can't wait to see more.

Thanks TheMainMan, I know the gray is a little backwards, at least I didn't go with a desert storm feel and painted the outside beige though XD

Here is an update in one picture. I attached drawer handles to the front of the case to give it a rack feel and painted them to match the interior. I also cut the side windows and painted everything green matching the graphics card.

Looking good. I like the flat, military paint schemes. Cooler Master cases seem to lend themselves to that look for sure.

I am really liking the mini itx cases, and this one came out pretty bad ass.

I agree.. I ended up painting my HAF-XB OD Green...

Here are some pre-dusted post assembly pics...

I am making a frame for around the windows, the black frame is just my cardboard template.
