Fractal Modding Competition

Very interesting competition.
A new way to motivate the community too.
If you havn't already closed the competition.
I'd like to weigh in with my pitch.
Specs:
ROG maximus VIII Hero
i7 6700k
Strix 980Ti
be quiet! Dark power pro 11, 1000w
16GB corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mhz RAM
(this is what i have at my disposal)


So what would i do ?
1. Respray the whole case a nice blood red (Inside and out)
2. Go to my lazer cutter and design a power supply shroud in jet black.
3. Cut that design and then cut out the word ''Fractal'' on the facia.
4. Use red perplex and cut out the same word at the same size and fit inside the black facia.
Like this (One of my previous mods)

5. Backlight the facia so the red name fractal is back lit :)
6. Drill out a hole on the top on both sides big enough to fit two samurai swords.
7. Place samurai swords through holes as if they are stabbed into the case (45c angle). (black and red swords)
8. Cut out another word using the lazer cutter ''DeadPool'' in black twice, once is smaller letters.
9. Place the smaller ''DeadPool'' on the front of the case and the bigger on the side with the window (Just under the window

This is where it gets fun!

10. Place all the components into the case (being black and red it'll look awesome)
11. Vertically mount the GPU like i've done with my current build (See below)
12. Turn it on + Take a lorry load of pictures + Admire.

This would probably take me around a week to complete as i'm currently workin on this

Otherwise it'd take just a few days.

I'm not good with software, and designing renders etc. In fact i'm not even good with a pencil.
I could draw you a stickman and a dog... that's about as far as my drawing goes lol.
But when it comes to painting or modding ;)

I'll leave a few pictures below for ya'll to check out (My previous mods) can also prove as most of them are right in front of me :)

Dude! Those are some sick builds!! I wish I had half that skill and patience.
 
OK, a quick update from my initial plans, so here goes.

My planned build will be based on the anime Sword Art Online, naming it after the VR headgear which in the show. Hopefully I will be able to get a Oculus on release to go with this project when it is finished, so let's hope it is priced well.


Nerve Gear Rig


This rig will have a black, white and red theme, to match the colours of the two main characters of the franchise, Asuna and Kirito. Which means that a good bit of painting will need to be done during this project.

Firstly I plan on modding the AIO that will be supplied by fractal in order to make it white and to give it a larger radiator.

Below is what the end product should look like and the radiator which I will use it with.

Externally not too much will change, except for the edition of a few custom decals which add some SAO branding, with Castle Aincrad in the backround and the NerveGear Logo on the front.

On the top I plan on replacing the vent blockers with some custom cut mesh, which will improve the look of the top of this case when using a large radiator.

I also plan on painting my GTX 980Ti reference GPU white and changing the Green GTX logo to red.

Inside the case I want to add a radiator shroud, which will be similar to the versions used on NZXT cases today, which will provide a platform for my Asuna and Kirito models which I have at home.

On the side of the radiator I also plan on sticking a metal model of Kitito's Elucidator Sword, whic I think would look great on the side of a white radiator.

wow, very nice dude! are you going to paint the sabertooth?
 
replace the side panel with a cutom acrylic panel and cut out for logo, custom acrylic fan gaurds and custom acrylic fan guard for the 240 mm rad all colour co-ordinated with internal led lighting and custom acrylic psu cover.
