    so i was lucky enough to get a deal on an ITX motherboard with a waterblock.. maximus impact VIII from a friend.. with a blocked GTX780ti... i built this PC for my brother for his thesis.. and so gave a shot at making a case for it.. i really loved the Cougar conquer case.. but it was really expensive.. and with an itx board it would really look awkward.. so i guess resizing the cougar to an ITX case was my only option.. the ITX cougar is able to house one 240mm and one 120mm radiator compared to the ATX cougar it can hold one 360 and one 240mm rads.. 2.jpg 3.jpg 1.jpg

    the case was so small that i have no space to put the pump(D5 pump) and reservoir inside it.. so i had to make some changes to the original case to accommodate the parts.. 44841940_2459395770755259_5084560294219350016_o.jpg

    i used an x carve cnc to cut out all of the components out of acrylic.... and used my diy acrylic bender with an indicator for the bends., measured all the angles using a digital angle finder ... to get close to accurate bends.. 39121827_2356369694391201_5846365150386323456_n.jpg 46463418_2499326560095513_6568747700039188480_n.jpg 39301872_2360427667318737_200377425702420480_n.jpg 39406168_2362050013823169_2456416689936400384_o.jpg
