    Wow, this is looking nice. Only suggestion I could make would be to paint the black plugs behind the mobo tray white...

    Thank u Kelmannen :D
    Thx
    Thanks :)
    :D
    I don't know i am just using it to make this build for the competition. I wont be using it when it is done
    Thank u :)
    Thx
    Thanks Vetalar i have seen the white pcb but i am not really a fan of it :p
    Thx but with the side panel on it hardly see it :p

    Update!
    Got my last piece from Imatex so i can complete the front now :D
    [​IMG]

    First i will start with filling up some holes in the front panel from the USB and card reader.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    When it is hard it time to sand the front panel.

    [​IMG]

    Sanded the grill also + make a small frame on the back of it so i can easly attach the RGB ledstrip to it.

    [​IMG]

    Ledstrip in place:D

    [​IMG]

    At the bottom i have made a small hole so there is enough room for the power cable

    [​IMG]

    I have also made a small movie of the RGB ledstrip that i can control with a remote :p

    [​IMG]

    Next step was to make the plexi front this needed some patience from before it was ready. :p
    To get a perfect angled corner i had to saw 2 pieces of wood whit a corner of 78degrace these 2 pieces i would set on my table with some sanding paper under it.

    [​IMG]

    The only thing i have to do is sand the plexi till i have my 78° corner on the plexi.

    [​IMG]

    Few hour later and 2 pieces later i had my corners of 78° :p

    [​IMG]

    The dirt :p

    [​IMG]

    Now i can assemble the 3 pieces of the front together with glue

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Drilling 4 hole to hold it all together against the front.

    [​IMG]

    Removing protection foil this will give u a better view

    [​IMG]

    Now when all the holes are made and taped it is time to paint the parts

    [​IMG]

    Only room left for power and reset bottom

    [​IMG]

    I have kept the original Cooler Master casebadge :p So i can place it on the front of the case.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    All back together.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Placed the front back on the case.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The outside of the case is completed :D I only have to do some small improvements on the inside and then it is time for a photo shoot :p

    I also started the leak testing of the system.

    Excellent build mate, that front plexi 3 part panel really finishes it off well, I think my favourite bit is the brass pipe work, looks soooo good, it's tempting me to go back to watercooling :thumb:

    Subbed, starred & rep, this looks excellent mate, loving the hard polished pipe work & the modding throughout is top notch mate. :rock:

    Only found out about this 1 through motm. :D

    The front looks like an electric heater :lol: but a damn good looking one. :D

    thanks alain-s, but that's not what i meant (maybe didn't ask it right). what I was asking about was the specific material (filler) you've used to fill-in the front panel hole (audio, usb, etc.).

    that is, i wanted to know what this stuff is:
