Hey guys,

Worked on getting the side panel window cut outs done for all the windows I will attach to the case, a total of three.

I will be bolting the clear acrylic this time and I will have it on the outside of the case. That is so I can keep the inward part where the grill on the side panel is. I have seen other people do it before and I think it looks interesting.

Here we go with the dremel and jigsaw!







































Thanks for checking it out and I hope you like my window designs.

Cheers,

Alex

Hey guys,

New update for TOXIC CHROME!

Just a quick look at the pump and other res combo that will be going in the build and how it will be placed.

Swiftech MCP35X

















Changing to a multi option top so that I can run the loop back to the top of the res.



These EK reservoirs looks awesome, first time using these!



Great little combo!









I think it will be pretty awesome with the two reservoirs in this little case!

Thanks for checking it out!

Cheers,

Alex

These two res really make it special

Thanks mate

I'm so curious to see following updates!

Hey guys,

Back with another update on Toxic Chrome.

I made all the modifications needed on the case and it has now left to get powder coated. The frame of the case and other bits will be powder coated a dark navy blue and the side and top panels will be powder coated chrome. Hopefully the chrome powder coat will come out good.

Here's a look at the case with the side panel windows cut, filed and all ready. Also mounted the pump/res combo and drilled the hole for the Vandal switch. That is just a test Vandal switch. I will be receiving a nickel plated one from MNPCTECH which is currently on the way.



I know here that the res doesn't sit in the middle but in order to make the loop work I think that this is how I will need to sit it. This may change however so we will see.





All the side panel windows. I went and drilled holes in each corners of the windows for mounting the acrylic however I forgot to take pics of this. You guys will see that once the case is back.



Pump/res combo mounted.



Vandal switch mounted on top of the front panel frame.







I will be making a new front panel out of 1mm aluminum which will cover this section here. I will stick that to the existing front panel in order to continue to be able to use the clip on and feature and access the dust filter behind it.



I also cut the HDD cage in half as I will need to mount this back in the case to support the MB tray. I cut some 1mm aluminum panels which will be bolted on to help clean up the HDD cage look as that will be seen through the res window.





All this will be powder coated blue.

And that's about it for now. Hopefully I will get the case powder coated and back sometime next week.

Thanks for checking it out.

Cheers,

Alex

As always Alex! You did a stunning job!

Thanks a lot mate

Hey guys,

I got the case back from powder coating!

Here are some quick shots I took of the case. I think the navy blue looks awesome and matches the fan blade colour really well.

The side panels are not finished yet as they had mistakenly coated them the same navy blue, they are now getting redone in chrome.































I will be getting the front panel and rear feet colour matched to the same powder coated blue but will obviously get it painted.









Thanks for checking it out guys and let me know what you think of the blue, I really like it.

Cheers,

Alex

The blue looks very nice imo and I also think it matches the blue in the fan blades. I'm curious to see what it's like when the side panels are done.
