Thnks to NZXT HQ for this case: NZXT Phantom 820 Gunmetal.
Gonna strip it down, tear it up and design and build a better one in my style.
Originally
Stock, It isnt my style, to futuristic, Gonna flip it all over,go the clean route and Do my thing.
Flipped motherboard I/O is on the upper now.
I need a clean top panel now, gonna leave only the mesh part stock, the rest will be cleaned
Cutted the top
Created a sheat of alu to be the new top plate
Mounting holes
More holes
Fits like a glove *thats flush !
Time to mark al the holes and cut-outs
2x Gtx 470 incl all EK assecoires, little older then people wanna see in buildlogs, but hey, Low budget = me
I will make Custom tops for the blocks
Did also some work on the case, finished the top (the big works) and pop rivited the whole chassis!
Gonna create my own feet and gonna remake the back panel, also goin to remake the whole inside!

Update 😄
Few days back i had allot of scrap plexi, (thanks to father in law 😄 ) normally would take 1.5mm alu, but hey, some quality plexi is also a good thing :D!
Need to wait on some rads who are still in production 😞 soon i wil buy 6pumps/tops: http://www.highflow.nl/pompen/andere-fabrikanten/alphacool-dc-lt-ceramic-12v-dc-pump-bulk-version-13... + http://www.highflow.nl/pompen/andere-fabrikanten/alphacool-dc-lt-plexi-top-13136.html . (dual loop)
Because i can u know 😛 just some crazy ass loops!
2loops
Loop1: RES-3xPUMP-360(backpanel )-GPU-GPU-RES.
Loop2: RES-3xPUMP-360(frontpanel )-CPU-MEM-RES.

Custom front door, Gonna weld the grill into the door 🙂
Also gonna weld this under airfilter handle thing into the front:
The front will be made in one piece, i am going to weld the door also, Clean as a Muttertrucker 😉
Also did mounted all the plexi panels because one of these days my rads will come with the mail 🙂 i needed to be sure it would fit the 8CM!(yes 8!) thick rads 🙂
Hardware test fit, so i cant make a mistake with the rads 🙂
see u on the next one.
