Hmm, I'm honestly not a fan of PSU boxes with rads sticking out of them. But this does help the GPU from sagging nicely :)

Very tidy build, kudos to you!
 
thats a lot cram'd in to a small space haha, let me know what temps you get

Yes it is! Im not going to overclock it so I think the temps will be okey. Ill post em later. :)

Bet there has been a few fingers going through it packing that in there

Haha Im happy I have all fingers left. :D

I love it! Looks to be a very tidy and well thought out build.

Thank you! Im excited to powering it up!

Bah you make me sick with your tidiness :P

Nice build :) looks really slick

Haha I take that as a compliment. Thanks! :)

Yes it does, I also made a small support for the gpu behind the fittings. Thanks!
 
Its been too long since I updated, so here it is.

I have finished the loop, shroud and installed OS and so on. The last two things left to do is to fix some scratches and install some lights.

I dont want to use a u-channel around the window edges and I dont really know if I want to have it like now either, maybe a frame in the same finish as the radiator grill?

However, here are some pictures on how the case looks like 95% finished.

I will probably get the lights next week so I will install that as fast as possible and then start working on the final pictures.

MSI provided me with the motherboard for this mod, a MSI Z77IA-S01 and I got some sweet news regarding to this. Dreamhack Winter is now in the end of november and they have a pretty nice Expo there with a lot of big companies. I got the privilege to show this casemod at MSI's booth there. Its going to be awesome, I hope I meet some of you there.

I hope that next update includes the final pictures! This is my first "official" casemod and Im really satisfied with it, I learned a lot. I still prefer scratchbuilds though. :rock:

Ill be back!

Well as of right now, I say this mod is finished. It has been a lot of fun to make a real casemod, I have of course built PC's in cases before, but not modded them that much, mostly been making scratchbuilds. But I learned a lot and I think there will be more casemods from me in the future.

I was not really satisfied with my pictures so I took some more this morning from different sides and angles. Im going to talk to some friends who maybe could work on the pictures in Photoshop to make them better.

I also want to say a big thanks to all my sponsors who helped me with all this. Wouldnt be possible without them! Support me and them by clicking on this links and checking them out.

I want to thank Cubitek for providing me with the Cubitek Mini Cube. In my opinion the best mini-itx case there is!

I also want to thank MSI for providing me with the motherboard for this build, the MSI Z77IA-S01. A nice looking black motherboard, perfect for this build.
