One base, One top, 3 Pillars, 3 clear windows. Being build ATM.Case Colour: Grayish/white, with some black & red.MoBo: Asus H97I-PLUS Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard That will mounted to the bottom and the case.GPU: ASUS TURBO GEFORCE GTX 960 OC Edition 2GB-GDDR5. Staying air cooled, This will be mounted to one of the 3 case pillars.Running on a PCIe cable. The TURBO GTX 960 with the exhaust out the bottom of the case,And the intake for the TURBO GTX 960 will come from the pillar it is mounted to.CPU: 4690kRAM: ?PSU: Still needed, Will be mounted in the base.Water Cooling, One custom 60mm x 400mm res. (3x 120 slim rads, CPU block, 1x Pump, fittings.) ( 6x90mm W 20x20mm H,D clear blocks running 9x5mm Round 500mm L tubing. that will be on the out side of the case as part of the loop. being built ATM)Lighting: Black Light, and some white LED's.Fluid: Green.Loop fittings:To start off with im doing the out side water blocks/res there will be 6 in all three at the top and three at the bottom. All 6 will be part of the cooling loop.They will be fitted to the out side of the case, The three on top will be linked the one's on the bottom. So one top one will link to one bottom one, with 3x 5mm clear tubes and so on. on the back of each block will be one fitting that go's to a stand 1/2 mantel bent loop. back to one of the other blocks and keeps going. Lets just call the outer blocks (Loop rails.)So below I have started a quick step by step.for the blocks, after ill be adding the 3x 5mm tubes to the 2x blocks to make one (Loop Rail.) and this will be done 3 times. Working on the Motherboard armor and the back plate IO shield that will lock onto the Motherboard armor, Still need to make a hole for the CPU. but still not sure what CPU block will be used. here I have started working on the center res mount. So far I have made the casing, added some blue LED's, put some steel mesh around it. Still need to add a small electric motor to turn the black cover at the bottom. to create a rotation of light in side the case. Once that is done i will starting working on the rest of the res mount. And then add the rest of the trimmings. Sorry about playing info catch up. I post the photos now and fill in the "blank"s soon. "blank" "blank" "blank" "blank" "blank" "blank" Thanks for stopping by.

Zenator Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hello again.Today I fitted a flow indicator into one of the back pillars so it cans be seen from the inside of the case, I also added 2 micro switchers to the bottom front of the case, One switch has a green LED, and the other is blue, One switch will be for the power and the other will be the reset, the blue LED will be the HDD drive light, and the green will be the power light.Thanks again for stopping by and following the build.

Zenator Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hello again everyone, Just a small update I have made a dust filter for the GPU as well, That slides out for the side of the pillar for cleaning. And added the mesh. I have done more to the GPU mount. But will have some updates on the weekend. I have also change the logo it needed redoing the old one was bugging the crap out of me, and the new logo can now be easily made on a CNC or laser cutter if need be. Thanks for stopping by.

Zenator Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hello Again, Still progressing on the Power Cell. I have been adding more details to the outer rims of the case, Still a lot more to do there. I have now also added the lower I-beam arms. As well as the outlet for the GPU. I will be doing all the side covers for the top and bottom base over the next week. Getting much closer to having it ready for paint.Thanks again for stopping by.

Zenator Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Hello again.Starting to add some lighting to parts of the case. before I start looking at the painting things I need to make sure it's all working and fits. And once all the painting is done. I will fit all the light FX to it again. This bit is for any one that likes playing with electronics. I have not done this for some time my self. But it's time to do some soldering again. The top dish of the case will have a ring around the outside edge. The plastic around the outside is a translucent white. So the light can be seen the rest of the case is made of a solid white, and will be backed with black paint. This part of the case will pulsate with light behind it.LED string,Jaycar kit.Thanks again for stopping by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenator Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Power Cell Light test. I ended up changing out the PCB's to RGB LED tape. I just made up a inner ring to run the tape. Still need to blacken out the inside to stop any light bleeding out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dz2klZAq3o&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenator Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hello again time for a new update,Below is the curving process I used to get the sides done, I placed the inside a thin sheet of alloy that will hold the curve that's needed and heat it up with a heat gun till it forms the same shape then let it cool. After this I have cut a window out and added mesh to it. Still work in progress. I have also fitted a HX1000i PSU.Finished the front Start/reset.The MoBo armor cover is now done as well.Hear is the Colour theme I'm going to be doing on the out side of the case.Thanks again for stopping by.
