Time for closing the case with some panels

Front panel - vents for the rad (2x120mm) and intake (120mm) for the bottom compartment (just in front of the HDD cage). Also two USB 3.0




Right side panels - intake for front rad.

Thanks

These bolts are only for testing - different bolts will be used after paint.

Case painted. The colour of the paint is "metallic black" .




Wheels mounted for easier movement of the case and airflow for the PSU.



It is a lot better now with the paint, what do you think ?

Thanks

Next step is to apply some anti-noise/vibration material where needed.






Next step will be installing hardware.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Seems to have been very good this year, because look what I found under the christmas tree.



But first let continue with the assembly of the case.




Mid-plate with acoustic absorption material.




I forgot to make a cpu rear bracket opening for changing coolers without dismounting the motherboard, so ......



First harware added to the case was the PSU.



Next step will be mouting the motherboard and starting to assemble the watercooling .

Happy New Year boys and girls

Lets continue from where we left off.... motherboard intallation...



Positioning the reservoir and rads.



VGA in place. Now it's time to think about the tubing routing.



The tube passing behind the 360 rad will not be visible after i install the fans.

Update!



I know that the tubing between the two gtx 460 is not right, but i run out of 90 degree compression fittings. So until the parts arrive .....



The bottom compartment is a little messy, but it will be arranged later



Tell me what you think so far
