tantric Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hello Coolermaster Modding Fans! My entry for the Coolermaster 2012 Casemod Competition Inspired by one of the main characters in the latest Transformers live action franchise "Tranformers Dark of the Moon" "Starscr3am" The Case I'm using for this project, a CM Stacker 830 Nvidia Edition. I just love the "stacker" series of cases from coolermaster they're big and very well built, with a touch of class and elegance. sadly they are not available on the market anymore : ( i hope cooler master releases a newer version of this case in the near future.

tantric Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 sleeving the psu: the original plan was to use red sleeving. but i decided to go all black, so it's easier to change parts later on without changing the sleeves. props to my good friend chezzowicked for helping me out with the sleeving job and camshow for the FTW black sleeves. the bare wires... six pin pcie power connectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tantric Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 more sleeving pics... we also replaced all the plastic connectors w/custom red connectors to give the black wires a nice contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
