Looks promising dude, hope you can pull it off Couldn't you make some cable management holes to help with the cables being hidden?

Naah, i have a trick up my sleeve for cable management (im wearing a tshirt) im going to be using mesh, the same with the front of the case and i might make some shrouds and custom fan grills.

It's still quite a task you have ahead, Props on taking it up though

Once i get the drive cages out it should me more space so i can finish the carbon fiber and install the mesh and the test hardware. Im hoping ill have the drill bit by this weekend, after that all i really is proper cooling. Not decided between full watercoolling loop or h100 yet though.

I like the idea of using a simple bare case however options are definitely limited. Interested to see how it turns out!

Budget modding FTW! (I understand when your at school going all out on parts isnt really possible!)

I know, everything's been funded by selling fans on ebay :yelrotflmao:

[giannakos23]

told you can't wait
i want more updates

 

[dalewakelin]

Okay, 1 fan guard has arrived today... ...WHERES THE OTHER 3? :yelrotflmao: Also the fans will probably not arrive until the new year as im getting them from Hong Kong. After i get all the proper hardware installed and the fans put into place i will take some pictures and then order some metal... I will also need to finish the carbon fiber and sort out the feet.

Another fan grill has arrived...

What kind of fans are you getting from hong kong??

This has to be the best idea for a low-end rig I've ever seen
Shows you don't need deep pockets if you've got some creativity

Just unbranded ones, i already have blue ones in my current rig and they're quiet and shift a lot of air. Obviously they wont be as good as branded ones but i dont see the point in spending £30 on fans for a computer thats only cost me £20. (Also the fans are reliable as ive had my hong kong fans in my pc for 1 year now and they're still going)

Yup, the most expensive part of the build will probably the custom cut piece of metal for the front. That will cost about £10 :yelrotflmao:
