    Hardware:

    - CASE: Cooler Master CSX Blue Flame
    - PROCESSOR: Intel® Core i7-2600K
    - MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z6X-UD4-B3
    - GRAFISCHE KAART: GTX680

    Who doesn't know them, the Cooler Master CSX series. The beautiful paintbrushed Coolermaster Stackers 830
    I've always wanted to mod this case. Luckily I've made a great deal to with Cooler Master
    The only condition was that I wouldn't do anything to the outside. Hmmm ok

    So a build entirely focused on the inside.

    The Cooler Master Stacker 830 CSX Blue Flame:

















    Sorry but need to strip it







    For the outside I may not use my dremel ... but inside oww yes here we go
    Marked some lines for a 360 radiator.









    On top of the fans there will be a piece of bended mesh.



    For the front I've made ​​a cover for a 240 radiator.





    I've also made a slot ​​for the Sony slimline drive.









    And pasted some nice black glossy vinyl over it.





    More soon!!!

    Looking good so far. I want to know who painted that. Their flame licks are a little thin, too oval, and stenciled.

    Another update!!!... have some finished already





    First my thanks goes to EKWB which still believes in my builds ... Niko Thanks for this

    What I am going to use from EKWB in this build:

    A beautiful old school EK-Supreme HF







    A EK-CoolStream RAD XT (360)
    And a
    EK-CoolStream RAD XT (240)





    Also an EK-DDC Dual Top (V.2)









    Some accessories



    Not to forget the beautiful EK-FC680 GTX Acetal/ Nickel



















    With a EK-FC680 Backplate



    Also some Fittings and adapters











    Placed the GPU block on the GTX 680



















    After some brainstorming and trying, I've cut and bend some aluminum strips and cut an old 150mm reservoir (round 60mm) into 3 equal pieces. It was very old and had some cracks so no problem
    Placed reservoir holders on the aluminum strips and slide 3 older versions 150mm (round 50mm) reservoirs in it.
    Connected them using EK adapters + C47 multi links and crystal links





    Placed the GPU and CPU block also connected them with EK adapters and Multi Links







    Installed the EKWB top on the pumps and put it under the last res









    And last, I have adjusted an existing sleeved PSU with the beautiful MDPC colors Black and B-Magic

























    That's it folks

    Wow. Can't wait for more.

    I have a CM Stacker 830. What a great case. This is going to look great when finished.

    Do you plan on painting all of the aluminum frame? It would look amazing in all black. It's the one complaint I have about my case.

    Well, that and a general lack of cable management.

    update!!!





    Did some fun stuff with aluminum in this update. Cover for the sidetop



    And the side cover



    The whole picture



    Made it black









    Did the mobo tray also



    And some pics by daylight







    Also placed the airbrushed covers back







    Thought of nice touch for the 3 tanks, for this I used a nice piece of blue glow acrylic.
    Measuring and marked



    Drilled holes



    And some sawning



    Cut it in half



    Placed it



    Pulled the plastic off











    Cut out 3 circles to the size of the res tops



    And placed them on the top of the caps





    Connected all of the Acrylic tubes











    Need a controller
    For this I have used an old Aquaero. This time the blue version
    In the top cover ivé cut an opening ​​for the display







    The controller itself I'm placing somewhere else using a custom flat cable.
    On top!

    Made somekind of bracket and blackened it. Also placed 2 poweramps for dual pump control
    Standard Channels Aquaero dont like 2 pumps





    Minor change of plans .... I usually do everything with acrylic tube 12OD / 8ID but thanks too Nate I can use 12/10 this time.

    Thanks Nate!!! More beautiful products in the E22 shop





    Placed all sleeved cables.













    And added some blue details.
