ALRIGHT!!! Time for the updates! I am 99% done. I am just waiting on Kingston to send their goodies and we are golden.

The mod panel came in so I was able to fit it into the cut pieces I did. The only flaw is I wish the website I got this from was a little more descriptive on their sheets. I wanted it with bigger holes but the one that came had way smaller holes then I thought. But it still looks great and cant really complain.

It came out well I think. There's nothing really special to it...though when my creativity comes up with something it will prolly change.

SO here is what the front will look like. I kinda like how it goes from black to white, black to white.

Here is the last thing I needed to do with the acrylic.

Tonight is where all the magic happens and I will be putting everything in the case. Fillin her up with some D-water and hoping for the best.
 
So last night I was up till 4am getting everything ready. It took way longer then I thought, but I didnt mind. With some trial and error and managed to get everything nice and pretty. I in fact did not get the chance to boot up the PC but I did get to bleed the system out for bubbles and what not.

The picks are NOT final. In some of the pics you can see a round shadow...sorry about that, I was shooting with my Ultra Wide angled lens and didnt feel like attaching my flash.

I will get better pics of the comp today/tomorrow and make it look real pretty for you guys/girls.

before I start I would like to say.....I HATE putting the tubing on!! haha

Alright, hopefully that will hold you off till tomorrow-ish when I can take some REAL PRO pics of the pretty comp.

I would also like to thank you all for the nice comments/ideas/help and thoughts. I couldnt have done it with out you. And another big THANK YOU to EliteGeek from the EVGA forums.

Very nice rig, I love all the different things individuals are doing with there switch 810's.

Where did you find the mesh for the top and front of your case? I have been looking around and I cant find what matches the sides and the little piece up front.
 
I had a really hard time with that as well. someone told me to go to lowes hardware in the medal rods and panels. you might have luck there. I didn't though. but it could be regional. I found mine at frozencpu.com. under modders mesh. or visit the site from the picture I took of the sheet cover. modright.com it was only 22 bucks on frozen and they had all different kinds and types.
 
The holes are 2.5mm if i remember, so you need to find a mesh with 2.5mm circle holes, Pulse modding do one, Ive ordered mine from specialtech and it arrives today so will see soon if it matches up, i bought the last one in stock though

Did the mesh that you get match up with what is on the switch? It is hard for me to tell in the picture.

When you get the mesh if you do not mind can you take some pictures and tell us if it matches? I have everything done with mine except for cutting out the front and popping some mesh in.
 
the holes on the mesh are way tiny. smaller then the mesh that came on the switch (bottom right on front panel. I'll take it apart and show what I did to get it in place. and take some pics of it as well. I honestly now like that the mesh has smaller holes.
