Thanks LJLithe_Joint wrote:That mobo suits the case perfectly. How are you going to secure the audio and gfx card? Or did I miss that part somewhere
I think this thing is going to kick some butt
Well ive made custom brackets that are mainly like the stock ones of those two cards and i will basically bolt them to the case. With a Allen cap screw and nut.
Yea pretty easy. I will post a pic today of what i mean.

Ok guys i got my ram today, and also i wanted to fit the radiator and mobo gfx card. To see how it looked, I'm probably gonna make a new cover, but i will see, as you can see in the shots below, I dont know if i should have the cover in front of the card kinda or half between the gfx card.
Dam that took a while to upload, TELKOM you guys suck.

You get much better cooling with the radiator being free of the PC.ecthelion wrote:im abit curious ... why do you choose to put the radiator outside? im sure there is enough room inside the casing for it to be put inside it
I've also decided to mount my radiator on the outside when I redo my cooling...currently i have two radiators, both internal and if they were external I'd get much better temps

Some of the panels yes, im also thinking of using vinyl on others pieces. At least then if i were to spray some of the panels there is less chance of scratching , which i dont really want.
Anyhow here is an Update.
I've made a new motherboard cover for my case. And done some refurnishing on some of the panels for them to all fit in. (PSU Cover, I/O Cover)
And i also had to cut two new lengths of threaded rod for the motherboard cover. You will see ive gone with something different. I intend to make a detail piece for the motherboard cover aswell. (tomorrow yea)
You can also see becoz of my OCZ Reaper's I've done this cover like this, gives the case a sense of depth and life, than the plain flatness like some cheap art that created.
So as you can see, my new motherboard cover cut. Also holes made for fitment
Next i made 3 of these brackets for the cover that will be fitted onto the mother tray where the watercooling holes are.
How it will bend....
As you can see, the really cool curve ive given the panel...and you can see the 3 lil brackets that are in place, and are holding the panel by dome nuts.
Next was to cut thread bar for the other side of the cover. And as you can see fitted all good. Will need to make a new one for the very bottom one becoz its like angled wrong and not directly hole to hole.
Now to get onto the I/O cover, all i wanted to do here was extended a piece of the cover. As you can see below
For those that wondered how the GFX card and sound card are mounted, here's a back pic of the custom man PCI slots.
And then some shots of the case etc.
So some things i want to do to this case, is get UV green liquid for my watercooling i rate. Get a UV light. I'm gonna make a custom res soon. Tomorrow i will also probably get the side panel window done. Maybe... I'm gonna be going with something else but PVC tubing, you'll see.
Until tomorrow yea.....DoOb's
EDITED: All panels done with a Jigsaw.

So i promised you guys a nice looking Detailed cover well here it is. i must say my jigsaw skills are really improving with each insane cut that ive done.
So here are some pics and angle shots of my cover detail piece. Still need to think of a side panel window. hmmm....
Nicely cut detailed piece. Jigsaw ftw yea.
After drilling the respectable holes to be held on by dome nuts and bolts to the main cover ,here it is fitted in the case.
Gonna have to now buy a new piece for my back panel after using this piece for the covers.
Until next time yea.
