    What?
    If you are into vlogging and Youtube you may already know Casey Neistat, one of the bigger Youtubers right now and growing fast.
    He is a awsome film maker and DIY guy, check him out! -> https://www.youtube.com/user/caseyneistat
    Casey got my attention a couple of month ago with his hacking, customizations and other
    solutions to every day problems, in his style.

    Why?
    So, one day when i was thinking of a theme for my next mod i decided to do a Casey Neistat themed computer build, fetching some of his creations into the case.
    Not sure why i´m doing this, just a fun thing and a complete opposite of what i normally do, where i seek to perfect and do everything as perfect as it can be.
    Maybe a kind of a tribute? not sure, well, here it goes!

    The hardware
    Bitfenix NEOS case
    Some drive cages from different other cases
    3x3TB drives, 2x2TB drives, 1TB os-drive.
    AMD 5800k APU
    Asrock FM2A88X motherboard
    8GB ram, Corsair Vengeance

    The result!
    And here it is, my Casey Neistat custom computer!

    And, it´s not a build log without the pics.

    The case - Bitfenix Neos Window

    Casey have very custom glasses of his own, here i tried to replicate that effect he has on the glasses in the side window panel.

    Made a window decal of the very same Casey, with his custom glasses on.

    On his Boosted board, pictured in the top. He made a arrow to tell wich way is forward.
    I took this detail into the front panel.

    One other characteristic part of Casey is his "selfie-stick", he is using a Joby Gorillapod and holding his Canon 70D in one hand.
    I had to snatch this detail too. Off to the store and bought a gorilla pod, removed 4 pieces of it and made it fit the case, as case feets :)

    They had to be cut first

    Turned out pretty good

    In one of Caseys videos, he makes a custom carry-on bag with a custom holder for his Penny skateboard.
    Skating is big in his movies, so i can´t leave this out.
    Had to buy a Pennyboard just to get one, i can´t skate and i probably brake it if i tried standing on it :)

    Here is first a picture of Caseys custom bag, and the following picture of my interpretation of it.
    See his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6bdpR_3HCU
