MY NEW UPDATES HERE:http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/13640-project-sentimental-modded-nzxt-m59/page-2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi I have a fun build log (at least I hope) I personal am not liking any of the case in $150 to $200 so I have decided to mod my current case which is a NZXT M59. I am kinda of preparing it for a high end water cooling loop (Not going to be doing that for a couple months.) But anyways hope you all enjoy my crappy mods;)

     

^^Stock pic of case

^^My components out the case (ghetto test bed)

^^Test bed clean up

^^Case Stripped 

^^Putting 2 120mm fans in the front (some of my pics were to big for upload)

^^Cleaned up for the night

^^Color im shooting for on the case

^^Finished paint job

I'll finish the case when I get my final parts from performance pc. Parts include: bitfenix extension cables (Blue), Koolance 3 fan shroud for the top of the case, zip tie mounts, some blue led fans, and some u-channel.

^^Update got the PSU cover finished continuing along with the sliver back colors. Thank you so much for the kind words , still waiting on the rest of the components to come in:(

[itslegendddd]

All done! Didn't get of the build process but got some final pics! 

[T.E.D]

Same speakers, and really nice build.

[Joshua]

I think this is an awesome, attainable build! Well Done!

That build's really begging for some water cooling. You could put a 360mm rad on the top and a 240mm in the front.

 

Nice work on the case.

Looks really nice and very clean considering the lack of cable management options.

Thank you! I definately plan on doing a couple things to the case. I for sure want to cut a bigger window in the side panel & well who knows I might finally decide to finally to a custom loop and mod a 360 rad to the front!
