    For quite some time I've be following bit-tech forums and I decided to upload
    my IgnitiOn Project.

    For IgnitiOn build, I will make a BIG mATX (i know, sounds ridiculous :D) modular case that can comfortably house mATX motherboard with all the components and allot of water cooling kit.

    The case dimensions are 500mm x 700mm x 260mm #H x L x W) and will be made out of acrylic.

    OK let's get it started.

    My little helper. I will be using CNC for cutting acrylic sheets.

    Thank you all for your support.

    The components and water coling kit presentation is up next, but i'm still wating for some to arrive. I also have a surprise.


    I dont polish plastic because im going for matt black finish, so i use very fine sandpaper on panels and on the edges.

    But the case will go through thorough cleaning before instalation of the components.

    Now for a surprise.

    I dont know how many of you noticed big cut outs for fans. The case will have 5x 18cm fans all for watercooling with Magicool water blocks.

    Cooling surface is 3,75 times greater than a single standard 360. This will allow me to set fans on very low speed with fan controler and still have allot of cooling power and a very quiet case.

    For the comparison, 3x Magicool vs standard 360:

    [​IMG]


    So watercooling compoents will be:

    2x Magicool 180mm dual radiator
    1x Magicool 180mm single radiator
    2x EK-FC7950
    EK-Supreme LTX
    2x EK-DCP 4.0
    EK-Multioption X2 RES 250
    Primochill PrimoFlex Pro Tubing
    and EK Fittings (waiting to arrive)

    Next mission, installing components.

    Update: I had a fun painting fans and filtering intake, so the intake air is all filtered.
