[Nitrix]

Not great at the moment as Radcarton have gone bust and took our case with them

Working on getting a new cases sorted atm but basically means im back to square one!

[kelvinb]

I had an order with radcarton and had to claim my money back through other means. Wasnt happy that they accepted my order knowing they were going down the pan

Some nice Crucial tracer ram - as you can expect this build will have quite a few lights in it so these fit in perfectly



The Motherload from Intel which includes the following:

Processor: 990x i7 EXTREME!!
Motherboard: DX58S02 - as you can see the skull design from the extreme range will play a part in the build
SSD's: 2 x 250GB 510 series



Free stickers with the SSD's - WIN!



The Case from XSPC - new guys in the case market but i can say im very impressed with the build quality of the case (yes it comes flat packed - scroll down a bit.



Case accessories - bay covers and ssd holders


Finally the Epic mouse itself I was very impressed with the packaging of the mouse and pad but after £110 you would want to be! Here’s few shots of the box opening.





This was an interesting find - etched acrylic with the razer and tron logo etc. Cut down abit this could fit well in the mod



The light trail pad - will take a video of this in the dark at some point as the mouse leaves a trail as you move it!



Back to the case as i said before the case comes flat packed, if you were wondering how that was possible this is how:



Although it looks like a rather large jigsaw its actually very easy to put together and has an advantage for the modders as its easy to mod/laser/replace the flat panels the case is made out of you will see me do this later in the mod.

Semi built



Now an insight in to the early design rough cuts and logo placements - we have a new way of lighting the case that we are going to test in this mod. I’m going to hopefully confirm some patterns for the case then get them lasered and then back them up with some special acrylic and lights.

Interesting Project you have there !

This will be brilliant,
love tron, the colors will be really set it off!

[kelvinb]
