Looking good boy 4rm oz , loving the green plexi (obviously)
Thanks for all the comments and +rep guys. I'm glad you like my work. I hope to have an update for you all shortly. I hope you all had a good New Years.
Sorry there hasn't been an update for a while guys. I have only 2 weeks of holidays left before my final year of school starts and me and my friends are trying to make the most of it.
Anyway, all that said I have actually had time for modding (well only today actually lol).
Ok, see this gap:
This is where my reservoir is to me mounted, it isn't as long as a CD drive so I have decided to cover the cap with a piece of mesh and cut pass through holes for the tubing.
Here is the piece of mesh cut to size and holes drilled:
Test fitting, fits perfectly:
Bolted on to see what it looks like:
Mesh painted and installed, sorry no pics of the painting:
A shot of all the drive bays installed, nearly finished YAY:
A lighted shot:
This whole top section is almost complete. I still have to paint the actual drive bays black and trim down a few pieces of the plexi to get it to sit right.
Next we move on to some painting.
Here is the victim:
This piece is the very front of the case, it helps support the drive bays. It doesn't really need painting because it won't be seen but you can't paint a case and leave a piece out ;).
Here is the painted piece:
After this was painted I thought that I may as well re attach it to the front fan bracket.
The front panel, fan bracket, dust trap, screws and grommets:
The fan bracket fitted in place:
Riveted together:
Grommets installed:
Dust trap and screws installed so I don't lose them:
A picture of the lot:
That's all I did today. The end is getting near, all I need to do is get the radiator and mount it and get some fans and a few more bits and pieces. I also have to make a plexi pump platform so I can fit the pump in the case. Until then...
Happy Modding.
No replies? I'm heartbroken lol.
Well today was my brothers birthday so I didn't get much work done so before his friends came over I put together the case that were done for some progress shots for you guys.
Here are the pics.
A side on view of the entire case:
All of the drive bays:
A close up of the optical drive bays:
A close up of the HDD bays:
The PSU cover and radiator:
The expansion slots:
Getting really close to completion now. Let me know what you guys think, suggestions are always welcome. Until then...
Happy Modding.
We're speechless...Quote:

Thanks, I'm still waiting on a reply for my new radiator but once I get that the mod is almost done.
This is awesome. You should definitely get some diffuse LED lighting on the plexi.
I was thinking of lighting the plexi but I already have 3 UV CCFLs (1x 30cm 2x 10cm) scattered around my case that should do a good enough job. Also the plexi I am using glows brightly when I put it over one of my blue LED fans, I don't know why but it works. However I do have a 3 LED ultra bright LED module which will be lighting the side of the disk drives and floppy drive covers. I hope that's enough lighting, I'm not that great at wiring LEDs up and stuff like that lol.Quote:

Looks great, can't wait to see the final look! +rep :D
