Case Mod - Complete IN WIN G1 vs IN WIN PREMIUM (modded In Win 909)

Hey guys and welcome to my In Win G1 project log!

I've been busy working on my Thermaltake CaseMOD Invivational build lately and as that is getting close to completion it's time to start a new project!

I have been very excited for this project for a while and it's great to finally be able to start working on it!

For those in Australia and going to PAX AU, you will be able to see it in the Nvidia area with MSY as one of the Nvidia Battlestation rigs doing 4K G-Sync demos!

I want to say a huge thanks to all the sponsors which includes Gigabyte, In Win, Avexir, EKWBs, RamCity, Primochill and Icemodz!

Hey guys!

Here is the case without the outside frame. I will start to give it a little bit of modding love!



















HDD cages were riveted in so I had to drill them out!



Thanks for checking it out!

Cheers,

Alex

 

Very interested in your work on this case Good luck Alex

 

Thanks a lot Richard

 

Hey guys!

I took the jig saw to the top of the case and expanded the hole in the top. It came out pretty good minus a minor slip when I was fining the cut edges.

The case is ready for powder coating now though. Will be a pretty cool colour if anyone can guess









Thanks for checking it out!

Hi guys!

I present to you the Gigabyte Z170X-Gaming G1 motherboard! This thing is a beast and I'm so excited to have it going in the system!

With 4-way SLI support, dual PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 support, integrated watercooling with G1/4" threads, PCIe metal shielding, USB Type-C connection and USB 3.1 support as well as an awesome multi-colour LED trace path that even lights up the rear I/O shield, this is in my opinion one of the best looking and feature packed Z170 motherboards out there at the moment!





























Thanks for checking it out guys!

Cheers,

Alex

 

Gigabyte Gaming G1 GTX 980TIs to go with the Gigabyte Z170 Gaming G1 motherboard!

I guess you guys can tell why I named this build In Win G1!

Thanks a lot to Gigabyte for the support on this project!

Like I said for the motherboard in the previous post, the same for these GPUs, some of the best 980TIs out there at the moment. And they are really good looking too!

I'm not sure if I mentioned before but PAX AU is coming up this weekend and this build will be on display in the Gigabyte area at the MSY booth! Anyone from Australia and going to PAX make sure to check it out. Also I will be stationed at the Cooler Master booth doing some live modding and workshops, please stop by and say hi!

Now lets check out these cards!!!









980TI sandwich anyone?





















Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more!

Hi guys!

Fill port in the top







MNPCTECH grill on there just for the cool look. It goes with the bits of silver on the motherboard

Hi guys!

Hi guys!

I have some fancy looking SLI bridges to showcase today! You may have seen the Gigabyte one in the previous update

That's the one I'm using in this system however I have the Nvidia and ASUS ones as well and thought it'd be good to do a comparison photo shoot. Which one do you like best?

I think it does depend on what brands you prefer as well and also the theme of your build. I'll be slightly modding the Gigabyte one with a white Gigabyte Eye logo instead of the blue.

Also the cables from Icemodz are incredible as always. Check out those closed combs, awesome!



























Thanks for checking it out guys and stay tuned for more!

Alex
