Hi OC3D my first post here, posting my on going project called "Gypsy Danger", well you know the name came from the movie Pacific Rim, i so love the movie so why not give it a shot?

lets start, heres my system now, it a modded NZXT Switch 810, 90deg mobo tray orientation, I did this around 3 months ago.

specs are

Asrock Z77 Extreme 6

Gskill Ripjaws Z 2133mhz 2x4gb
Intel 320 SSD

painted my radiators white so this would add to a clean look inside

made a custom psu shroud frame, out of aluminum. as you can see also in the picture, i remade the motherboard tray cover using a much more thinner acrylic, in my previous build i used 3.0mm acrylic, in this i used 1.5mm

Sweet, I've never seen an inverted Switch 810 mod before, nice idea. It's looking really good so far.

The attention to detail here is wonderful... individually drilled holes for your cables.. brilliant :D

Welcome to the forums mate.
 
loving your idea for the nuclear engine. looks already like this build may be better than the movie lol

thanks mate :) i'd love this to be better than the movie and fire plasma cannons lol

Looking good, I actually thought the movie was okay too, which surprised me because I'm not into robots and droids and all that.
 
Yeah this is absolute pornography.

The separates holes for each cable.. damn. That's dedication.
 
Love the work you have done to this build I just have one quirk that has my OCD senses tingling its the Carbon Vinyl on the mobo they run in different directions.. other than that Kudos on a very clean install and attention to cable management. :)
 
You do know that you have created porn ^_^

Yeah this is absolute pornography.

but wait, theres no boobies :)

thanks

Hello again!! sorry for the late updates. ive been waiting for some parts to arrive and as promised, here it is

vandal switch

some acrylic tubes

1661969_10201571516275010_1753169381_n.jpg


so in my previous pictures, i made the PSU cover that has a backlight in it but some thing came up to my mind, i want to make a water channel, but the problem is i dont have a drill press or someone near to my place that has. in the end I found a aluminum sheet about 2mm thick and cut it the same as the plexi one,

1920127_10201627347470755_1553240134_n.jpg


made some measurements that would fit the acrylic tube fittings, G 1/4 painted white

1920508_10201653831612842_889264544_n.jpg



the water channel is ready but another thing cape up again, I want the case to have a "metal" / "iron" touch, so i knocked it down again and started repainting the interior white and parts of the exterior silver, to give it "metal" look :)

1601348_10201658170361308_732984655_n.jpg


i dont have the things to have a perfect bend on the acrylic tubes so i made my self a DIY bending jig from a srap 3/4 inch plywood, PVC tubes,wood, nails
i made this to support 90,45,30,60 deg bends

1497538_10201398621512749_387970856_n.jpg


then i started bending in the afternoon, finished around early evening
