Those peekers are just looking amazing

p.s. I wasn't saying I disliked the fan cable showing, just that I myself love the steathly art of hiding as many cables as possible.

pps- one more vote btw for you in the MOTM

 

Cheers mate!

I usually am an advocate for hiding as many cables as possible, but I figured that since every other cable is proudly on display that I would also have the fan cable showing proudly too

And thank you for the vote! This is actually my first time nominated for MOTM Your support is greatly appreciated!

Can't wait to see the final pictures of this

 

Nice build,I would prefer internal mount windows tho.

Let me know if you want colour on that.

 

I also love this build but my first thought about it was also if acrylic Windows should have been mounted on inside...but it looks very nice even on the outside.

 

Nah, Putting them on the inside would give you less curve. It would have been a PITA to bend to the inside edge too. -And he put that lovely bevel on the edges.

 

awesome work, you've got my vote

 

mmmh, I vote for the acrylic moved to the inside too. You have put a lot of nice curves and, for me, putting the acrylic outside gives more "staircase" and so breaks those curves. Anyway, it's still a really nice build and maybe the final pics will change my mind!

The Grand Finalé



Hello friends!

Today, I update this build log for the last time with the final photos for my Raijintek Metis modding project - Elegance.

I would like to give a massive thank you to all of the vendors who have supported this project with their products, but most of all I would like to thank you (Yes you reading this!!) for being here, taking interest and giving feedback during this entire process. Without your help and support, I would not be able to do what I love to do - To create PC art!

So without further blabber and fluff, it is with great joy that I present to you the final images of my latest completed project - Elegance by MetallicAcid.







































































Please be sure to check out my Facebook page for my upcoming project, involving an In Win S-Frame chassis, some white PCB hardware, some crafty aluminium panels and chromed water cooling tubing

Kind regards,
Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

That single purple wire...

 

That's beautiful man. Well done!

 

Step away from the thread

 

Great finish man! Beautiful project

 

Realy loving the design of the case with the colored PSU/Fan Cables.

 

You do not like it or..?

Thanks Ocelot!

Cheers Vognen!

I'm not the only one then. It bugged my OCD for a bit, but it's there for aesthetic reasons I guess. It still nags the "hide the cables" part of my brain too.

Awesome work Justin!! Love it!! Except for the fact that it's air cooled. Looking forward to the next one, hopefully underwater.

 

Thank you for the continued support Bart, always nice to know that you are there to read and give feedback. I had tried to break the mold with this project, with all cables proudly on display, wrapping window and air cooled.

Seemed like a nice change from all of the watercooled monster rigs in Hexgear/Parvum/Corsair cases these days. Back to basics, hand crafted and elegant

See you at the next project!
