Ramses Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 This is going to be a really fast modding! The work on the live.MOD.repeat projec will start in the middle of February, I hope to finish it for the april 30th deadline. The theme of the mod is inspired by the Edge of Tomorrow movie, I will modify the case in the style of the Power Armor battle suit and other fight machinery showed in the film. I will use the following hardware for this mod: Case: Cooler Master HAF X Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming CPU: Intel i7-4770K @ 4500MHz Memory: Patriot Viper 3 16GB DDR3-1866SSD: OCZ Agility 3 60GB HDD: WD Caviar Blue 640GB, Samsung F3 1TB Graphics: MSI R9 290X 4GD5 BF4 @ 1100/1400MHz Sound: ASUS ROG Xonar Phoebus PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G2 Water cooling: CPU: D-Tek Fusion V2 Memory: T56 Ram Blokk Graphics card: HK GPU-X3 R9 290X Pump: Laing DDC 1T Plus + Alphacool DDC Top Radiator: MO-RA 2 + 4 x Cooler Master 200mm fan Reservoir: FrozenQ Liquid Fusion V Red Controller: Aerocool Touch-2100 It is now built in a rather chaotic configuration, hope the final mod will be loooot nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramses Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi guys! Just finished the modding – at least the most of it It was a really fast mod, I started the work exactly 2 months ago, on the end of February, and did it beside my daytime job. So first the disassembly. First I made new fan grills on the top... ... then started the rebuilding of the front. Here I kept the 230 mm fan, and made some plexi modules as the base for the smaller details. Obviously the ugly front drive panels had to go, I will put the water coolers pump here with some nice grill and lights. Redesigned the top connector panel too. For the power button I used a detail from the Edge of Tomorrow film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramses Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 The side panels came next, with another film detail on the left side, plus some broken plexi and other battle wounds. The other side will host the huge MO-RA2 radiator with 4x20 cm Cooler Master fans. Did some decoration inside and outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramses Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 It was high time to put on some paint. Air-brush of course Repainted the motherboard and RAM heasinks and water coolers elements too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramses Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 And here the magic began! I applied a special metallic layer, then a strong enough sealing layer for other paints. With his technique, some sanding can bring out the “bare metal†making great damaged armor effect. Oh, one thing: notice the holes for the new fan light! Then the porcess of "aging" started. I used sander, metal brush and other things to scrub down some layers, make the surface look old and "battle worn". Finally I put on some "artifical dirt". Plus some "oli", more details and United Defence Force logos form the film: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramses Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Ready from the outside: Watercooling to come. I did not have time to finish it on the weekned, because I was on a modding event in Budapest, Hungary called Veletech Moddingverseny. I won 2nd place in the Casemod category with the Super Aeolus Giger More photos HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
