I'm finally back again with a new case mod project! Some of you may know me already after my first project where I won the OCN's March 2013 MOTM. Now is the time for new project on the CoolerMaster CM Storm Trooper Case. :)

Project Imagination is going to be the line up of some of my mods. Another version of this mod is my scratch build that is ongoing right now, I call it Project Imagination SV. The Scratch Version.

Key Features:

1. Custom Reservoir
2. Hard clear tubing
3. Neat cable management
4. Windowed Side Panels
5. New Front Design
6. And couple surprises! ;)


Other components will be added as I go through with the project. Comments, questions, critiques, and ideas are all welcome! Btw, not all the hardware to be used is final.

Murdered the case earlier. Did you notice anything different?

360 RAD mount in front! Looks good to me. :) I might move it higher, but I need the RAD in hand first for measurements.

New mobo tray! This is only 40% done. Updates on the new tray later on. :)

The mobo tray mod is now 70% done. Still need to be polished and to be painted after.

UPPPPPPPPPDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTESSSSSSSSSSS!!

I just finished the new motherboard tray for this project, I'm calling it MoboTray V2.0. The Idea behind this mod is to have a space between the two mobo plates where I can route all the cables and keep the back of the case
as clean as possible. The result, for me, was outstanding. For mounting it on the case, I used the stock holes of the case and attached it using couple thumbscrews. With it, I can easily install or take it out of the case. :)
This is just one of the unique/innovative mods I will do for this project so please keep checking the build log! :)

Shroud-Channel-bay. This is the PSU shroud I made for Project Imagination. It's just like your regular PSU Shroud, but it has built-in floor channel and 5.25" bay mount for fan controllers/etc. Enjoy! (Please ignore the protective tape on the channel)

More coming for Project Imagination!

Well, here it is guys! Project Imagination is done. This is my 2nd case mod project and it is pretty challenging to modify a bigger case. Took me a while, but it was all worth it. First, I'd like to thank Cooler Master for giving me the chance to modify their Trooper case. I'd also like to thank Aquacomputer and ASUS for their support.

There's so much more I wanted to do on the case, but unfortunately I have to finish it now and share it with you all. I hope you all like it.

I apologize for picture's quality. I am not that great in photography. My setup was just a couple light bulbs, my comforter(lol) as background, and my sister's camera. :D

Also, please take time to visit my project log on CoolerMaster's forum and support me for the upcoming Cooler Master's Case Mod competition 2013.

Let me know what you think of it and you have any questions about my project. :)

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS! :D

I am really sorry for one big update. I am actually just transferring the log from one site to another. One guy suggested that I should share this project to you all here over oc3d and it will be appreciated. Thank you all. I hope all the updates gets approved by the admins.

This build looks nice, but one (not so) small thing. Here on OC3D we follow the rules of not double posting ie. if you need to add something else you just click the edit button and add the pics/info to the first post. Secondly it would be greatly appreciated if the pics were (approximately) the same size, there are ones that are fine but there are super small ones that are impossible to see properly!

Oh an welcome to the forums :)
 
Welcome to the forums! :)

Maniac is right, double posting isn't allowed. I've just merged all 14 of your posts into one (making this a very long page but so be it). In the future, please use the
edit.gif
button instead.

That said; Nice modding and build! :)
 
Wow that looks pretty awesome, not so sure on the choice of CM SickleFlow fans though - not exactly the quietest of fans even at low RPM.
 
Aside from the double posting as maniac said, and some of the pics being thumbnails, that is one sexy looking rig! Good job man. Let us know how it goes at the comp.
 
OH WOW this is such a beautifully thought out build, it might need to be shown from the start but its so photogenic!
 
holy... lots of awesome cursing... wow its so amazing.. it makes me hate my own setup right now.. i got a pile of trash.. please leave your address, when no one will be home, and access codes to disable any security <3.

The extra modding on the motherboard, is just amazing it perfects the entire thing. 10/10 !
