First off what type of creature are you hiding in that case?

Nice job so far I'm looking forward to seeing more. I also like the white dinoct on the rad but why didn't you carry it around the whole perimeter of the rad? Or am i just being picky?

@Mechh69 this is just my cat watching me work
I would have ****ed up the stretches where it bends etc :/ And I usually onlu change the color of this part of the radiator if I paint/di-noc it

Well I've been at it for some time and I tried setting it all up like I'm gonna have it when I get the rest of the stuff together. I still have to add a shroud in the top to cover those fans.

Front rad


This should give you some idea on how it's gonna be...


I think it will look pretty good with Mayhems Pastel Ice White running through the block...


Not 100% happy with the front panel though...


And the right side panel.


Now I just have to wait for more parts... hope that will be soon

[AciD_RaiN]

Just received the shroud so I fitted that

Drilling holes for the shroud:


Shroud fits like a glove


Had to use M4 screws and bolts to get the fan grills to stick...



Now I just need the mobo and CPU and some Mayhems Pastel Ice White

Might need a little di-noc as well... These few things may take some time since my financial status changed a bit...

Bro those 280 shrouds are awesome for this case! I'm doing the same thing for the sake of space and believe it or not, they wrap pretty well with di-noc :-)

I thought about wrapping it in white di-noc but since the front is black I decided to keep the shroud also black

[Dmlindley]

Yea for sure! It goes with the window trim as well!!

Sure does I'm actually using much more black then I intended... I had to remove the di-noc from the handles and feet because I did a TERRIBLE job wrapping it...

Darn that would've looked sweet! Ya I don't know what I would do without a heat gun on this stuff lol

I used a heat gun but I just did something terribly wrong... Corners and stuff like that is not my strongest side when it comes to di-noc

[Nutman]

I say slap some white Di-Noc the MNPCTech front panel grill! Would become a nice contrast the the rest of the front panel.

[Ra6]

Looks impressive! That contrast between black and white is better than only one colour!

That's exactly what I wanted to do as soon as I can afford to get some more di-noc

@Ra6 Thanks mate

That won't be just yet. The mobo and CPU are so darn expensive and my financial status has changed a bit so It will have to go a bit slower...

[AciD_RaiN]

Only the SATA power cable left to sleeve

[AciD_RaiN]

I hate to be uploading only one picture all the time but there's not much happening these days... Here's the last cable sleeved...

That was my thought There are only small things happening now and I'm hoping ASRock can help me out with the motherboard and I'm going for a cheaper CPU so I can finish it in February

[Mechh69]

I like the Dinoct better on the GPU block than the original circles. The sleeving job looks good, keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more.
