Hi guys,

All the rough cuts have been made on the case and it's pretty much all torn apart. It's now time to start working with some aluminum panels



First up I shortened the I/O bracket and also the motherboard tray





I completely removed the back as best as I could leaving just the PSU mount



Also there is a massive hole in the top as well with some simple mounting left



Made a cut out to clean up the front as well to better accommodate the front 360mm radiator



Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more over the coming days which might answer some questions as to where I'm taking this mod by removing so much of the original case

Cheers,

Alex

Grey appears to be perfect for showing a single/simple/small product imo. In the case of a modded PC a still life would look great, which catches up on the modding theme. What my look great is showing the rig where it will actually stand. But this can be rather circumstantial. What's also nice is to show rig in nature, but again ... finding a nice place, carring the thing there, taking a good shot, ...

Yea sometimes with my modded rigs I don't end up using all of them so don't have a spot inside my house. I did used to take them outside for the final shots before but I since moved and now I have no yard Haha I will figure it out, I might be moving pretty soon anyway

The motherboard tray is now mounted in it's new location.

What I am doing is mounting the I/O to the top of the case to change things around a bit

Here is the tray with the aluminum panel I made









The 90 degree aluminum corner bar is mounted there for a shroud to mount to once the motherboard tray is in the case. I will showcase this once done

Also here is how I am mounting the motherboard tray panel to the top of the case. Using these brackets and other 90 degree aluminum corner bars and leaving a small compartment in the top for cables to connect with ease.









Hope you guys like the progress so far and stay tuned for more

Cheers,

Alex

Awesome build man..
Good luck for the Pro mod III

Thanks a lot man

Motherboard tray is in for test fitting and also so I can work on other stuff inside the case.

You can now see the orientation more clearly

Also please ignore any ugly screws for now and also the bare aluminum. In the end it will all be black.





You can see here the cutout I am going to make for a window on the back panel



Plenty of room for cables to connect to in the top







And plenty of room for cables in the back




Now time to go work on a shroud!

Thanks for checking it out guys and stay tuned for more!

Cheers,

Alex

And again, something you're doing looks very interesting!

Thanks a lot

Hi guys,

The shroud for the build is ready.

It's from a 6mm thick piece of opal white acrylic. With some vinyl on it and an LED strip underneath, it should look pretty good















Thanks for checking it out!
