Case Mod - In Progress Project CheckMate by E.E.L. Ambiense - Completed

But not the price
I make this comment regardless of quality

@E.E.L. - Great work mate!

 

LOL!

Yeah, I clamped it to an old desk, because it's a great height to be able to repetitively file with a flat-file semi-comfortably.

LOL. Last I checked I'm not a n00b, as the finger is actually holding the bottom of the piece to the side of it. I learned my 'lesson' with that years ago.

Thanks! They've been fun, but I dare say their build quality seems to be slipping slightly over the past three-four years or so. In all honesty, it can be debated that Silverstone's quality has shot up as LiLi's has gone down, lol.

Thanks, man!

 

Every build what you have done has been one piece of art.
I really love to follow your worklogs, keep on modding.

 

Wow, coming from you that's a major compliment. Your builds are absolutely gorgeous! And I don't envy the hours upon hours of polishing you put into it too; amazing results too.

And you keep on modding! Please!

 

Awesome work as always!

But I don't get something, that fan is pulling air with no vent holes(or blowing, however you have it set up, I still see no fresh air coming in)? Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?

 

Thank you!

Still have a bit to go, man! The stock case has a reversed airflow pattern, i.e. back intake to front exhaust, if that helps explain some things about the weirdness that is this chassis.

 

That is really nicely said, thank you. But the main thing is that i will definetely follow this. Subbed.

 

May 15th Lil' Update!

Just a quick lil' update here since I had a moment to waste...

I've been pretty busy with other commitments, so I'm not back-burnering or neglecting the build or anything; just need some sufficient time to afford to it, is all.

Anyways, on to the lil' update!

I finally received my killer casters I'd decided on using for the build that I ordered *cough* two months ago *cough*, and here they are. A nice little pile of them! And they're definitely not a pile of either. A little on the expensive side though.







I think they're gorgeous and fit the theme just fine. A little excessive maybe, but then again, has E.E.L. ever really done anything toned-down? Oh, geez...did I just refer to myself in the 3rd-person again?

Here's a, uhhh, small bundle of white sleeving here...



Let's take care of the Gelid fans...



There we are! ...And the Akasas as well...



I'll have some more to show soon, but this slacker needs to get back to work!

-------------
Until the next update, I got nuthin'.

 

Those casters look pretty cool!

 

Yeah for expedited service.

Nice parts.

I watch.

Is there no white heatshrink available? I think the black bits kinda take away from the sleeving.

 

Lot's of white heatshrink available. Looks like personal choice to me.

john

 

Ah. In that case
Waiting for more 'big picture' shots

 

You got it, John. It keeps in the black/white theme.

 

Those are really cool castor wheels.

 

Details. You define them.

Love that castors. They look like some sort of candy

 

Those wheels look like the fancy replacement wheels for inline skates. Cool idea.

-The shoelace from hell!
Are you going to do a white/black checkerboard pattern anywhere? Even if it's just black vents cut in the front with a white background, it would look neat. -Maybe a little loud, but neat. I think a window with opaque white and transparent black squares would look kick*ss.

 

sleeving looks really sweet

 

Thank, all! Castors are cool.

LOL. It's funny; I has initially thought of that as well, with the checker pattern, but it was ditched. I just didn't want it to be way too loud this time around. The idea of opaque white and transparent black checker is really awesome though, man! I like the idea.
