Awesome stuff dude
I also need to a pin removal tool but look forward to seeing your next update

Yeah I'm waiting for 2 more orders( both are bigger ), from specialtech and aquatuning So there is a little more to come
Are you using normal sleeve or paracord for your cables?

Very nice
Going to be using MDPC-X sleeving once the cables arrive from Silverstone in 12 Weeks

Silverstone said they don't have any in stock so they have to be ordered in from Taiwan

I can use my current ones but cannot re braid them as the pins have fragile tabs holding themselves to the connectors

Uuu, thats bad
I will sleeve cables from fans, pumps etc, and if I will be good with that than I will do all my cables with paracord Well we will see, cuz I never done any sleeving before

Time for some more update
Spend most of the day doing that, but I think that was worth it
























Tell me what you think
I think that it will be all finished by the middle of February, hopefully.
The last thing with carbon will be side panel's, but need to wait for those with windows

nice work mate

 

[dipzy]

Looks epic, carbon is looking great

 

[PingPangBV]

I simply LOVE it! Man that looks sooooo sweet!

 

[tinytomlogan]

White and black carbon goes in different directions.... That would annoy the sh!t out of me

Also why cover an epic white case in black vinyl

nice work mate

Thanks dude

Thanks, I've spend lots of time doing that yesterday

I simply LOVE it! Man that looks sooooo sweet!

Thank you, happy that you like it

I thought it looks quite nice when some of them are in different direction, if you look at the case from different angles it looks nice, it creating nice effect
The white epic case is not completely cover in black vinyl I'm only making contrast between white and black, this is theme of build
Do you think that making for example roof white, will it look better?
The side panels will be all white I promise:lol::lol::lol:

The different colour panels is the bit I ~personally~ dont like the most.

You mean roof, front and sides of pedestal?

looks good mate and i can not wait to see it take shape

imo like Tom said the different directions of weave would annoy me but on a + side i do like the white and black mix

If the different directions of weave look bad I will fix it, thought that it will make nice effect but doesn't looks like it does work:lol:
Yeah Tom said that it's to much black but both side panels will be all white so that will make a really nice contrastWell I hope so On Wednesday I should have both delivery's from specialtech and aquatuning so it will slowly start to take proper shape. Than in next month I will have to order some stuff form scan or ocuk and that will be last thing that I'm waiting for to finish this build. Fist I will only sleeve my fan cables and pumps, than if I'm good enough with that, I will sleeve all PSU cables, but I'm not sure about that yet:lol:

Happy that I got advice's from you guys if something doesn't look good, I really appreciate that

if you wanted the bidirectional weave look the best way i found was to split the panel/piece in half and do one half one way and the other half the other way. other wise i just find it looks to busy on the eyes.

sounds good mate ill keep and eye on how it turns out

Yesterday I got delivery with some stuff from aquatuning But I will post pics later.
I bought Phonya molex extractor kit for removing pins, but.... well I managed to brake this one for atx pins after 5 minutes I think that it's not the best quality, than I search on google if other people had same problem, and yeah they had...
So now I think that I will buy nice quality one from mdpcx , as lots of people saying that its really good.
Also the main BIG thing for me that I discovered was that, I'm start thinking of removing carbon from outside panel's of the case..., you will ask why? Well I was sitting on my chair and I looked at my hydrO.Carbon Ch2o, and I got felling that cases look very similar to each other, and I mean very similar( I will make a picture in next few hours, cuz I just came back from work).
So I'm not sure right now...???
I've put a lot of work into it, but yeah... just don't know what to do.
My previous case was black and green with carbon, current case is white with black and white carbon, so now I'm kinda thinking that I should change it a bit.
What you guys thinking??????
I will need help to make my final decision.

ALSO I ADDED A POOL TO THIS THREAD

 

[| raVen |]

Ok so here are pics of this stuff that came in on saturday, it's only small one but I decided that I will post it anyway.

 

[tinytomlogan]

My reply to poll was yes remove the carbon.

Its made the case look cheap because its no been done properly and the colours dont work........
