XICLE (EvO+) Build from Scratch

Project Name: The XICLE
Type: Build from Scratch
Start: May 5, 2008
Finish: June 31, 2008

I build this for the OCN Case Modding Competition 08 I won the Second Place and Unique Bonus Prize in the PRO category (Don't ask me why cuz I don't know :p) This was my first Custom Build and most challenging project so far.

I don't like to do things they same way other did things... so that why I make this Custom Case (The First Ever Round Working Computer Case) so I'll let you with the image the complete worklog is on OCN but I'll post all the image in most of the forum am registered. So enjoy this piece of work...
