DESIGN & THEME
​

This mod will be soft modded, so minor change will be made, the color of the case, some LEDs, grill and covers, and other little parts, but all in the style of the case shapes.

So now let's start with a picture of the case!

 

Disassembling this case was really easy!





For the front face, i made a little mod, removed the glass and installed a grill, so i can achive a better airflow for the 360mm front radiator.
Also another thing i done, it was to replace the original only Red LED strip with an RGB one.





And this is a preview of the blue color chosen for this project, is a special matte blue with metallic effects!



The new front assembled!

 

This case doesen't support vertical GPU mount, so i bought the Cooler Master GPU Holder Kit v2.0, that include also the riser cable!
But with this kit the GPU will stay in the center of the case (that is a good thing for airflow on closed case) but we want the card on the border of the case, so i've modified a little the Cooler Master kit with some custom bracket and cutted a hole in the case for the cables.

 

So guys here we go with some pictures of the hardware components that will be installed in this mod!

 

I definitely prefer that metallic blue the red is a bit too vivid for my taste

 

Some pictures of the liquid cooling parts!

 

Now it's time for something more interesting, the making of the interior covers!

Designing the cover style


Cutting the plexiglas for the backlight


Printed on paper sheet (the plexiglas panel is the one that will cover the PSU)


Applying the paper sheet on black wrapping vinyl and start to hand cut all the lines!


Preparing the vinyl for the application, it will be applied on a white plastic sheet.


And finally the cover installed! Between the black adesive vinyl and the plexiglas there is a white plastic sheet, to diffuse the light. The LED strip will be positioned on the right side.
You can see also the main hardware and cooling parts installed to test the clearances.

 

Nice and proper modding ...though ...after your Alienbase it might be a piece of cake

 

It's got a lot to live up to ! but i have faith in your amazing skills

 

Thanks guys a lot for the support!
Like said by @kim , this mod will be a piece of cake for me!

 

Another little update about the interior cover! This time for the bottom one for the PSU.
Plus the beautiful 24 PIN extension custom made with my friend Hardwire Custom Cable Maker Italy!
You can also see the pump installed, i used the HDD bay like support, and just need to make a little metal sheet plate to fix it.

 

This weekend i've completed the custom tubing loop, now it's time for pressure test and then it will be ready for the liquid!

Thanks guys!

 

Hello guys, finally this project is now finished! There is just a little extra to add, i hope i the next days, but the major jobs are done!
So now it's time to post some good quality pictures to show the result!

FINAL PHOTO SET PART 1

 

That's one mighty fine looking PC

 

FINAL PHOTO SET PART 2

 

FINAL PHOTO SET PART 3

Someone maybe can think: "what about the side panel?"
Well the side panel was re-designed, because the original tempered glass isnt good for a vertical fan cooled GPU, so i made a sort of big grill to protect the side and also to allow a lot of airflow!
The result is at your judgment!

p.s. I'm also introducing a new style of photoset, hope to improve the exposition!

 

It came out absolutely lovely.
