    Awesome build Alain. Reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica ships.

    Seriously though, I especially like how the graphics perfectly aligns with the acrylic vents in the front.

    Un-frackin-believable! :jawdrop: The space-camo panels were a complete surprise, but really finish it off nicely. Superb work! :rock::thumb:

    Thank you Sebastian, well Here is a print screen of the temps. After running heaven benchmark for 1 hour this was the result. The panels where closed

    Thank you Sander :)
    Thx Fsylar ^^
    Thanks uerseya :D

    A small update of the original panels from the Tristellar case. It would be a shame to trow them away so I used some material I still had laying around from a previous mod. And gave them a second life.

    Most of you will know in what case mod I used this to.

    Made the holes with a dremel.

    Added a few layers of wood dye to it.

    In the top panel will come a window where you can look to the GPU. First bending the plexi glass before cutting the window in the panel.

    Made a hole in the panel then wrapped it with veneer and added few layers of wood dye.

    Placed the panels in the shape of the Tristellar. Cant used the frame because it is already occupied with the Whetstone mod.
    But will give you a good image of how it would look on the case.
