Hi fellow modders,

It was a matter of time but here it is... my first real scratch build
Thanks to Nate from E22 for the design.

Sometimes you see a design with a wow factor. This happend too me with this design. After some consultation we decided to try to build this design.
Nate the design and I'm building.

The design:



The hardware that comes in is still a suprise...even for me 😉 , but anyway there will be an SLI set and some cool watercooling

After buying aluminum strips and other stuff at the hardware store, it was time to start building. After some fitting and measuring the frame was created. I still had an old Mobo tray from a old TJ07.







Cut some plates of acrylic and placed it.



For measuring I have an old blown up Classified.









Made the door/ cover for the PSU



And cut to size the front plate



Now it's a matter of drawing lines on the inside. The result after sawing and filing.







Cut holes for the fans at the front and the lid on top covered with acrylic



Covers closed



Placed some nice 120mm NorthQ fans to see how it looks.













More updates coming very soon 😉

OMG! OMG! OMG!

You are building that case design by Editor22! I've always wanted to build that case and I've been searching all over the net till I stumble yours 😄 But I moved on and plan on making my own case. Anyways, how did you make the frame and join them together? I want to know the tutorial please! And wow, I am proud of you, keep it going!

[Winther]

first off, really nice build and design! Really like the mobo cover you are maing!

Could you tell me the "specs" of the metal you used for the frame? 🙂

And how did you measure out the motherboard cover you made?

The motherboard is the asus sabertooth Z77 it comes with the cover, some of their new boards come wiht it too like the formula and the gryphon.

I know that, I have had the Sabertooth Z77 board, but thanks though! 😉

I meant the acrylic cover with the mat black vinyl and the red glowing edges.. 🙂

haha wow I must have missed that somehow 😛 thought you were trying to be a troll for a bit, my bad... the acrylic cover looks like it was cut with a CNC or a laser looks too straght and fine to be done by hand 😄 not to sure about the LED's though, magic maybe?

[Winther]

Magic..!? Dang, dont know if the force is strong enough with me.. 😕
Actually he says that he is using LED strip for that, so maybe I dont need the force.. 😛

Anyways, cutting it by hand is going to be hard if I do it, but measuring it is the real challenge I think, so I would like to know how he did the measuring.. 🙂

[Winther]

Double post, sorry..!

I will add some measurments and how i did the frame later. First some tuts playing with acrylic:

First I want to welcome a new sponsor:
Lumenledverlichting
This company sponsored my builds from the beginning and always with perfect quality LED strips and other accessories.

So also for this build some beautiful LED strips









But first the cables. Because I have used a lot sleeve for the PSU I chose for flat cables in the mid section. For the GPU I have made a slot as tight as possible. This is to get a nice tight line









Beneath the midplate





For the 24 pins I have to make a nice tight flat cable, but it will be placed like this











I did some small changes regarding the placement of the LED strips
The LEDs on the PSU cover I've placed down instead of up, because it seemed quite bright.

Placed the PSU back and changed the color from the cover where the wires go through.













So with enough LED strips in stock I had a nice idea. A cover with case feets.

For this I cut out and filed the outline of the existing scratch.



Cut out 12 plates and made ​​6 of them black. All this I have glued together with ACRIFIX.





And placed 3 LED strips of 60cm strips... lights on please!!!
