​

Hello! After alot of researching and thinking, I finally descieded to make a new Case mod!! I wanted this one to be a clean and good looking case so i bought the Cooler Master 690 II advanced edition amog with the Corsair AX850 W power supply. This case will be painted black and blue and alot of details in the case will be in black and blue aswell!! I will give you a list of all the hardware soon, including the water cooling set I will add!!

This is the first case mod I make for this forum, so take it easy on me

Stay tuned!

Part 1 - Introduction and Side Panel


After waiting for almost two weeks, my case and cower suply finally arrived!!


Review image of the case inside!


Another image of the case!


I started off by taking most of my case apart!


Side panel is ready for the Jigsaw!!


Work in progress!!


The cutting with the jigsaw is done. On this image I'm checking how I want my sidepanel to be.
I descieded to place the window outside of the case and use screws to attach it. I also tried to arrange some edges to have the screws through. But it didn't turn out the way a planed, so I took them away. The results came out pretty well.


Here I'm about to drill holes for the screws.


Side panel are ready for painting!


The Sidepanel is fully coated. In the back you can also see that I have painted the front panel of the case!


Here are the screws for the side panel ready for painting.


Screws after painting (The color are dark metallic blue)

Results of the side panel! I hope you like it.





Part 2 - Painting the skeleton of the case and some other parts


Some parts of the case are sanded down and ready for painting

Here are some results of the paint job.















Ok! This is all I got for now. I hope you like it so far and if you have any question, don't be afraid to ask!

I have ordered six new fans from Xigmatek (3x 120mm and 3x 140mm)
- Water cooling are soon on the way
- Most of the cables in the case will be sleeved with cables from MDPC-X
- And if I can afford it, I will get 2x new GPU's of some kind!
- I also wanna get an fan controller with atleast 6 channels!

What I will do next now is to get the case back together!
