hello Ocaholic! My name is Mhike aka Tantric, a local case modder from Manila, Philippines.

Here's my latest project called RADIOACTIVO


Inspired by the RPG game Fallout. My goal for this mod is to present a post apocalyptic looking theme for the entire case. Combining
pure aesthetics while providing optimal cooling for each component.

The Components:


Motherboard: MSI Z97 M Gaming
Memory: 16GB Avexir Core Series M Power
Videocard: MSI GTX 760 Gaming
Power Supply: Bitfenix Fury 550G
Case: NZXT IS340

Cooling/Accessories
-Coolermaster Jeflo 120mm
-NZXT 140mm Fan
-NZXT Grid Fan Controller
-Swiftech H220 Custom
-FTW industries rigid compression and rotary fittings
-FTW industries chrome plated copper tubing
-FTW Industries 200mm reservoir

As for the case. I'm using an NZXT S340 , I love this case because it's small size combined with simple and elegant appearance.
Also the plain appearance and bare design of the case makes it a great canvass for modding.

test fitting.

Hi Mhkike! Thanks for posting here!

Glad to see you here finally! Full MSI, I guess my MSI Italy friend will love it!

thanks bro! glad to be here

some updates!

after a quick test fit of the GPU, i removed the shroud and did some quick modding.




and to keep up with the theme i'm going with. i also did the same with the fans.






the SSD also got the same treatment as well.

notice the custom pull tabs on the fan wires? these act as custom accents for the fans and also makes it easier to pull on and off the 3pin fan connectors from the header. specially on the tight spots of the case.

i also made a few to highlight the sleeved psu cables.

a quick preview on the insides.

started doing the design for the side panel.


prepping the panels before painting.


the paint and decals applied.

after experimenting with some enamel paint, different sized brushes. here's what i have so far...
