    Cheers Fuganater, nicer than a bunch of highly detailed info :D I stuck tiny labels underneath them all so I know which is which :).

    Thanks Nutman :), I'll be sure to get better shots of it all though over the next day or 2.

    Thank you morbid_looney :D.

    Cheers Razer I installed the rest of the lighting just now & the white led strip was just too bright & I didn't like it much at all really so I had in mind to buy some tinting film to lower the brightness but I can't be bothered with more waiting for bits :D so I got the sata sleeving & did the strip & it is now nice & definitely more to my liking so I think I can call it completed now, just need to do final photo shoots :thumb:.

    Thank you bagman :thumb:.

    Now I need to tidy up all over the place my room is an absolute mess so think I'll be busy doing that for the rest of the day :lol: & then I can get to work on doing the final photos :thumb: but holy moly it is awesomely good to really have it completed now :eeek::jawdrop::D.

    Started end of November & just finished up now, was a fair bit of time when I couldn't do anything on it either through life stuff or waiting for bits/materials or having to remake bits to get them just right but that flipping main window curve was a huge learning curve since I never even bent acrylic before :D I believe that piece was the most difficult learning curve so far in modding for me :D wouldn't have been so tough to do if I'd have kept it internal but chose the difficult way :D but learnt more from going that way :).

    Anyway final photos coming very soon :thumb:.

    I love the new lighting effects there bro, I would love to see some more clear lights inside the main chamber where the mobo is and maybe even try some uv lighting maybe it will give a nice contrast along with the smoke acrylic windows! :)

    :blush::D:rock: Cheers Ed it's sooo nice to have this completed now :D.

    :D That was just the enermax apollish fans I added a few led's & a white led strip since but shots of that will have to be done tonight :) cheers KidMod :).

    Ohhhh wait til you see the finished photos mate :D:rock: cheers Graham :thumb:.

    1 of 3 done :rock::D thanks Craig :thumb:.

    Cheers Alex :), the shots last done were just of the apollish fans, I've since added some single led's to the fan holders & 1 led strip to the main section & had to put sata sleeving on it to tone it down & it made it perfectly how bright I wanted it :D lighting shots to follow on either the 2nd photo-shoot update or 3rd :thumb:.

    Now I'll just sort through this batch of photos I just took but I started a bit late so had to call it a day too soon plus I need to remove some white foam mounting tape :duh: got impatient waiting for clear mounting tape for the rgb strips & pretty much forgot to remove it so some shots will have to be taken again but the cable side won't be lit up now it made the sleeving look a bit crap really :confused:.

    I'll have some of the shots up within a couple of hours I think :).

    Got to work on a photo finish outside, flipping english weather it started raining so had to rush it into the garage :D I have a load of black cloth though from when I did the photo-shoot on air cube so got a board of chipboard & threw the black cloth on it & pegged it up lifting & turning as I went but I started too late in the day as it started getting dark plus I totally forgot about the white foam mounting tape I resorted to using for the rgb strip on the cable side so another photo-shoot is definitely needed with that ugly white foam tape removed :D so this is the first photo-shoot of 2 or 3, probably 3 because of me not removing the white tape & 1 of the photo-shoots will be night shots.

    On with the show :D.

    This is final photo-shoot 1 of 2 or 3.

    Outstanding

    This is one thing I love about this hobby.

    I personally don't care for the overall design of this case. To be honest I didn't when I first saw it in the planning stages, but modding is all about making something your own and I wasn't about to talk down someone else's art.

    Having said that, it doesn't in any way detract from the incredible workmanship demonstrated here. It's just absolutely beautiful work, obviously a labor of love, and the fit and finish are categorically awesome. You've taken a vision I saw during the design stage and made it a reality, and you've come a LONG way since Frankencase and Air Cube V1.

    Positively inspiring finish, my friend. If the project I just started comes out as well as this I will be thrilled. You set the bar.

    :clap:
