Hello. This is Project Penn Carbon. A college themed build for me and my friend. I've had the case for over 8 years. 6 years it was in use and ran strong prior when I even had computer knowledge. After the rig died, I moved onto a HAF 922 which then was upgraded for a Air Carbide 540. I've wanted to mod this case for years and now Its finally happening.

Here are some original pictures from Cooler Master's website.

Wish I could remesh the front but don't quite know where I could locate some flexible mesh. I would love to just mess with a new elite 340 panel but its hard to find without buying a whole new case.

Little out of focus but it shows how nice the powder coat actually looks. Hope we've grabbed your attention now ;)

Motherboard tray and interior. Top is not done because top will be modded to fit a fan so the power supply can draw fresh air from outside rather be turned upside down and drown in the processor and GPU heat that is constinly rising.

Nice flash shot of the case. The color really comes out in the light.

Shot from the I/O cutout. This really shows how well the color can be manipulated via differnt lighting.
