Keyboard looks good, just a strange lay-out for me

Finish!
My build is now finished until I get the time to make put my custom loop in, I wont rush this one since its my first full loop and I want it to be pretty much perfect. If I make some progress I will of course let ya see it.
What I did since last time is not that much, but even that little stuff took me so much time that I'm still "late" with updating this log. Enough talking here it is "finished"
Yes there is clear Plexi in the front, but it is so damn clear you cant see it unless you play around with a camera.
The plexi is just leant against these plastic angles and the rest is friction which holds it in place, and that works very well
To get it out I cut off a corner in the plexi
Same with the top panel, just held in with these angles and friction
That switch was too the last thing I waited for, since my last switch did just decide to go dead. (Pics of it at the end as fun)
On the inside didnt change anything except the routing of my PCI cables, which I will def need to redo.
The promised switch pics.
Sun is setting, so I guess its enough for today

That build looks amazing and you did an awesome job. can't wait to see the pipes go in probably make it much better

It will, without that huge alumium fin stack in the middle of everything
Love what you've done with it mate
Thanks

It really is yeah
Nicely done fella, clean and simple, time for some lacing maybe
I will lace them once I build my loop because this will be the time when I'll rip that sucker apart again, its such a pain... To only get my gpu out I need about 20minutes.

Gotta say man, it's a great idea. Nicely executed too! Shame I didn't come across this earlier (I just randomly clicked your signature). Eagerly awaiting the watercooling!

Well thanks for the nice words The problem with the watercooling is that I'm kinda fed up with this "case" any kind of radiators look silly in there, unless the 360 I could mount to the right of the PSU which you obviously couldnt see. But then the problem is that the temps are just barely good enough due to the limited airflow through the rad.
I already have something new in my mind but I kinda dont want to just throw 'The Viking' away...

Maybe if the top compartment / cabinet (I'm not sure what it is xD) is tidied up a bit it could fit a 360mm rad?
I certainly wouldn't throw it away. It's unique in every single way, it would be an absolute shame

I can fit a 360 rad up there easily
And I could even fit a 60mm or monsta(86mm) thick one in push pull with fans pushing air from the main chamber and pulling out of the roof. But it would be tricky af to route the tubing then although it wouldnt be imbossible
and the cable routing will be even harder

Update
Finally found time to make small progress again. but I dont have any more time by hand currently so you will have to live with pics only for now, if you have questions feel free to ask.
First up some things you might not have seen.
And now onto my Thermal Armor mod to finally make my CPU cooler fit the right way!
Finished mod of today, with a sneak peak of the noctuas.
Anyone who would buy this piece?
