Case Mod - Complete Thermaltake UK Modding Trophy 2018 #TT20

Right guys, I had to start the Mod again, with me changing the back distro, it meant all my sizes were out.


I started with a simpler design but still has the WOW factor, I think this is just down the the size of the case, I did remove the second loop. I also have to change how I want to mount the panel back to the case, I did want to keep both side panel but I will be removing one of them.








Once I made the new back, and sorted the mount for the top panel and side panel, I was happy to start the internals.


I started in the basement I recut the bottom panel this is 20 mm from the base of the case I have done this to hide the cables going to the 3 control boxes, which will sit behind the screen you should be able to see these from the right hand side and the top of the case.





Once I was happy with this I started with the side panel which will hold the screen, I am using the screen to show celebrate thermaltake product over the last 20 years.





You can see I am sticking to the plan I submitted to the competition.


These are the cable combs I will be using.








I even made some little brackets to hold the mid plate in place,





Once I installed the brackets, I added the mid plate which will hold the motherboard, passthroughs and another custom distro plate. I will be keeping the mid plate clear so you can see straight into the basement.





I am going to be painting all the parts tonight, bracket for GPU and starting the etching of the glass, I want to have the build completed by friday so all that needs doing is the custom cables and final photos, I am sure they will be a few more updates before then.


As always any question please leave below.

 

Right, the build is starting to take shape,


I have added the sponsors logos to the side panel, I got this mod from the modding pages on bit-tech, I have used etching cream to etch the side panel. I tested this on the project no name side panel.


I cut a TT logo out on vinyl, applied the logo and then applied the cream I left it on for around 15 min and then washed it off,


Before,





After,





I am very happy how this turned out, I just want it to be seen.


Now it was time to do the side panel,








You will have to trust me, the panel looks great, you will see this in final photos.


Next I need to add the vinyl to the side panel and paint the screen cover, this didn’t take to long, I cut the logos on my vinyl cutter and applied them to the side panel. I have added these to the top panel which will be painted matt black and I will be painting the reverse side orange.





The screen fits in great.




Apply all sponsors logos








Test fit





The panel is all set for paint,


I have also ran my cables from the psu these are now in place and will not be removed, they look great.








I still have the top left to do for the last distroplate which will be done tonight, then its just a case of putting it all together, bend the pipes and fill her up hopefully show you a bit more tomorrow.


Any questions or feedback please below and I will get back to you asap.

 

Right guy's I was running out of time, and didn't want to miss the dead line so here is #TT20 hope you like it.














Hope you all like the photos.

 

Lost track of this one. Having the same wall of text in every projects' title seems to click a 'just read that' box in my feeble mind. It's good to see you got your leak sorted in a roundabout way. The project came out great.

 

Thanks cheapskate, I wasn’t sure I would get it done. That leak really knock me. I think I will look at trying it again in the new year. When I have no pressure.

Bit-tech have started the voting you can see all 5 builds
