Re: Blue Storm
So since ive last updated i've finished the case till i get hardware... (god i want the hardware! its like its teasing me...) But some pictures for all you guys watching this
Back Side looks stock, with a less... bumpy... paint job
The user side (?) window looks sharp too... i love how this turned out... As a side note, i love the CM 690 that i used, just disliked its stock lack of window-ness. i also had to make the 240 rad fit on top...
Better view of the window... looking at the pic there seems to be a little bit of wag in the cuts that dosnt appear in real life...
Better window view... the flowers in the back ground are popping like crazy, this isnt edited, this is how it looks outside today, hence why im sitting on the back porch with my macbook
The back of the window
Silicone... messy... but effective
My dirty wire secrets exposed!!! lol
Pump mount
Top radiator mount. The fans and the top of the case gave me some trouble... but it turned out well.
Not quite unisleeving... but not a bad look... i like it... although the different lengths on the shrink bugs me a little.
drive area
another interior shot
This was my remedy for the fan clearance issue... worked out pretty well i think...
The next update will just be stealthing the dvd drive on front, you can already see the velcro there for it. i just need my dremel tool back... After that there will be updates when i can afford some hardware for this guy.

Re: Blue Storm
Looks good! It's a good thing you're not using a GTX series rad, or you wouldn't be able to fit your MBB in. (speaking from experience here... :whistler: )

Re: Blue Storm
lol... i had to strain to keep the 25mm fan in and still use the rad... i almost went with 15mm instead. on another note, im seeking sponsors for the hardware in this build. Wish me luck!
