Update 6:

 

Here is my side window ;) I used a dremel to cut out the shape and a lot of sanding tools to get a good finished look. I got the Acrylic sheet precut from Lowe's. I ordered the NZXT Hue, I will be cutting it down and painting the front white and the grill red if I can find paint for it. 

 

Enjoy

Update 7:

 

I got the NZXT HUE which is just amazing for lighting, cost efficient and plenty of options. Here are some Glamour shots, enjoy!

A bit big :/

Seeing how small the Prodigy M is for space the full size of any drive would impair air flow.

Rough cut but out of sight!

Update 8:

 

  Painting time!! Turns my new camera makes big files so I have a link to an album because I am to lazy to edit them (not final shots, thus not worth it).

 

Pictures!!!!!!!! 

 

I used PlastiDip to paint the Armor Kit and I might paint an other coat in the future. With the left over piece of my window I cut out a shape to cover the PSU. I planned on banding it and it turns out this is really good steal! I was very proud of my self with the tight fit and round edge. I painted the PCI covers and messed one up and ended up not using it, same happened with the I/O covers. Next on the list is to get that CPU cooler due to the fact that the other one is too big and will have contact with my GPU. I may try and salvage a laptop hard drive so I can free up the bottom and install 2 of these fans. I wish Phanteks made 120mm fans again because I love the 140mm I got in terms of looks, noise and efficiency. When I am done with that I will look at custom cables and was thinking of running the 24 pin in front of the PSU cover I just made. That cable would be red to add a color accent on that side of the case. 

 

Anyways, thanks for reading (if you did haha) and looking. 

 

Enjoy ;)

The plasti dip coats looks a bit messed up. Did you shake it for a few minutes prior to usage?

I did but the MB cover is not to flat and if I kept going I would get bubbles of paint that would look much worst.
