    Thanks a lot ;)

    Today i finished sleeving the fan cables. I like the result of watering tubing a lot and i think ill adopt it in my future builds.

    Thank you :)

    After many tries i completed the most parts of the LED Controller. The only piece i miss is the top lid and it is ready. I also decided that ill have the controller outside of the case.

    After many days of absence i found the time to paint the case. Today i did the first layer of the white paint with the paint gun. Unfortunately i am not that experienced with painting guns so i did some mistakes during the paint. Luckily though since that its the first layer of paint ill fix it tomorrow with some sanding paper.

    Yep there are several paint drops but coul be fixed ;)

    You should "charge" less paint in each point.
    If the parts are not covered enough you can make a second layer later, once the first one is dry .

    After some days i found some time to do some more modding.

    I used some L channels to hide the weldings on the radiator holder.

    I also moved the case to my home and used some actual hardware to check if everything is working.

    That came out pretty cool.:D -Putting gear in the case and using it is a sure way to delay a project. ;) Be warned.

    Hello Bit-tech.

    I am back after almost 2 years to revive this old worklog. To be honest i was never done with this build and i was really annoyed. Well the time has come and after almost 10 years i have decided to make a present to my self and buying a PC for me. The build is around i9 9900k with Z390 and RTX 2080Ti from aorus with the preinstalled waterblocks on them. I have ordered these parts but the availability is low so i guess it will take a month 100%

    The watercooling is from EKWB and i have ordered the pieces and i expect them to be delivered @ 27/2/2019

    Thats all for now. I will come back with more news.

    Thanks

    Hello everyone.

    After carefull consideration i decided to remove the color of the case. Tbh i wanst happy with the result and i decided to try for a more profesional result.

    Meanwhile i took the chance and completed the holes for the grommets one the back side of the case.
