Part 1, Measurement and Thinking​

1mm thick raw steel! This beast gonna be heavy!

Part 2, Assembly and Completion​

Plotting the sidepanels window, so i'm sure it's right!










PSU plate, gonna paint that later on. Starting to rust now!


Whats hold the sidepanels.



PSU Air intake. I forgot it under the sketching process, but no worries, thats why you have a plasma-cutter!

Part 3, Components and Finish



















CLOSING THIS PROJECT

Just wanna let you know that im closing this project. But I will continue to use this computercase in another project.

A project with the same case, but with other components, such as Orange stuff, water, SLI!

Hope you enjoyed the build-log. Keep your eyes up for more of my later on projects.​

 

DAMN! Welcome and one really nice build. I didn't notice it was steel until the red magnet squares showed up.

This is nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! nice build! Very Mountain Mods like!

 

Yeah, real steal is the deal! Thank you!

Yeah, fun fact.. Did'nt know at first when is was done setting up the case that moutain mods exist.. haha

 

such large and beautiful case just cries for watercooling i always love to watch ones work of such high level.
just 1q - what does that bears for - new kind of biocide or smth?

 

Thank you, and high level.. naa.. haha!

Yeah, would love to have watercooling, but air goes well for now, does'nt even have great components that requiers watercooling either.

 

Damn... I've never seen a scratch build case come SO close to a factory case! Very very nice work man!

 

Oh, thanks man!

Starting to like this site, really nice people, and such good respons!

 

Forgott to paint this part, black or white ?



Bitfenix pre-sleeved, real nice.. but package bending sucks..



How it looks today, almost the same, just waiting for my package from my sponsor Be quiet!, new cooler and other stuffs..

The reason why I need a new cooler is that I can't have plexiglas on the side.. the cooler sticks outside the case, so I need one who's lower..

 

Small update, received a package from my sponsor Be quiet! today!

Special thanks to Christoph @ Be quiet!

 

Nice box full of parts. Doing nicely.

john

 

Yes indeed!, alot of fans!

 

looking very tidy so far...

keep up the good work!!

 

Nice case build mate , !

 

epic dude!

 

Yeah, im thinking of rebuild the coverplate for the powersupply, in steel/aluminium.. not acrylic.

 

Thank you guys!

 

Sleeved some extensioncable's for the Be Quiet silent wings 2, you can barely hear them at 60-70%, and they move great amount of air aswell!

Thanks to Christoph at Be quiet! for all the fans and the cpu-cooler, helped alot

That's all for me this time..

Think my project is done for now, maybe see me next time in a new scratch-build! Or other updates on this one.

Have a pleasant wednesday y'all

Absolutely loving the white braided cables. Looks really good.
