Anubis2Osiris Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Here is a preview of my 2014 case mod, which I plan to enter in the 2014 Cooler Master competition. The mod this year is called "Gaia". Gaia is the name of the mother of the Greek gods aka Mother Earth. The Style of this case will use hard lines, appear rustic and use earth-toned color schemes. The main material this year is 22 gauge steel. Thank you to Primochill for their sponsorship this year! I am expecting my full water cooling system in the mail any day now. Thank you to Georgianna Daily at http://gwldybg.wix.com/allnightcreative with your sponsorship of our beautiful logo you have created! I will be using the Haf Stacker for my mod this year. This is a beautiful Cooler Master with so much potential! Thanks for looking and I look forward from hearing from you guys! Went ahead and bought three pieces but now that I see it it's going to be to big. Didn't take long to tear her down. Lots of useful parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis2Osiris Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 I decided to rivet the bottom and the top piece together and used Bondo to fill in the crease. After lots of sanding. Now redoing the front so it will fit together again and gutting the center to get ready for the fans. Testing spacing to make sure I can squeeze 5 fans in and it looks good!

Anubis2Osiris Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 I cut some steel strips to close up some of the open areas to focus on the fans details. They leave enough open area to see the colored rings the fans will make! I used Bondo on the front where I joined the top bezel and the bottom bezel together. I doesn't seem strong enough so I attempted to have steel bent around it for some added strength! It came out a little uneven so I used Bondo again to fill in gaps and to recreate the end caps! I love me some Bondo! Next post I'll be finishing the front piece and adding some primer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis2Osiris Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 I riveted the two side pieces and used an epoxy for the top and bottom. I then used sandable filler primer and gave it a good coat! With a little wet sanding it came out pretty nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis2Osiris Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 I chopped the top to add a steel shaft to the build that will house the power supply. It will also fill in some space on the inside to look more uniform and hide all the cable from the psu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis2Osiris Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Here's a small post. I'm currently working on the motherboard plate front and back. Front Piece will be a square piece cut to fit and the back piece will have a slight bend to cover the hole left by the front shaft. More progress to come!
