I'd like to share the build that my Mod Zoo staff and I recently finished. We customized an Origin PC Genesis full tower case, before outfitting it with some tasty liquid cooled hardware. You cannot buy this case, unless you contact Origin PC. The retail price is $399. Here is the detail of the build. ASUS Z97 Maximus 7 Ranger I7 4790K 4x sticks of 4GB HyperX DDR 2x EVGA 980 GTX Corsair 850 RM Power Supply Samsung SSD 850 pro, 256GB EK Parts: 10x EK-AF Angled 90 degree G-1/4 Black 10x EK-AF Angled 45 degree G-1/4 Black 2x EK-FC980 GTX - Acetal+Nickel 2x EK-FC980 GTX Backplate - Black 1x EK-Coolstream PE 360 (Triple) 1x EK-Coolstream PE 240 (Dual) 1x EK Supremacy EVO - Acetal+Nickel 1x EK FC Terminal Dual Parallel 3-Slot KOOLANCE Parts: 1x RP-452X (Dual 5.25in Reservoir for 1-2 PMP-450/S Pumps, Revision 2) 2x PMP-450 Pump, ID 13mm (1/2") Mnpctech PETG Hardline tubing, 3/8" ID, 1/2" OD Primochill Rigidi Revolver Compression Fittings, 3/8" ID, 1/2" OD, Diamond Knurl Grip

You're welcome! for anyone else interested, I made this video guide on using Hole Saws to add computer fan holes to your case

ericlee30 is correct. My video was 1st to illustrate PETG used for liquid cooling. Manufacturers watch my channel and quickly reacted. I didn't start retailing PETG until I was personally convinced it was fail safe alternative. I replaced our MZ-1 PC's acrylic tube loop with PETG after that video was published. MZ-1 has been running 24/7 under UV LED lighting since Feb 24, 2014 without any discoloring to the tubing. That was the primary public concern about using PETG. It's a great alternative to Acrylic for me, since I often have to ship custom PCs to trade shows or events. Acrylic has superior clarity, but can potentially crack under stress while moving your PC. I've seen this happen in customer rigs.

Thank you for all of the views and comments! Newegg has already sold 6 of the 25 cases so far. I'll take that as good news, since it was only released 2.5 weeks ago. I did ask that Deepcool tells Newegg to post better photos, they really are poor, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853016

Thanks for tuning in and commenting! RGB lighting installed in top panel. Very EASY and effective mod for accenting the "16 BIT Spock" airbrushed mural by Brad

No worries, I've been trying to capture stages with my video camera, so I can share them on my YT channel after it's finished here, https://www.youtube.com/user/MonsterMawd

Thank you for the post! Did anyone else see The Martian this weekend? I'm calling it Ridley's Redemption for Prometheus Steps in painting Koolance Rp-452x2 Reservoir faceplate 1. Medium grit sand paper to promote adhesion on face. (Not necessary to remove anodized surface) 2. Clear off surfaces with Tack Cloth, and Tape Off inside portion of plate 3. Apply SEM Self Etching White primer, allow cure for 30 minutes 4. Apply 5 coats in 5 min intervals of Rustoleum brand Gloss White Enamel paint from Home Depot 5. Allow Rustoelum Enamel paint to air dry cure for 24 hours before handling 6. (Optional) Apply Gloss Clear coat finish to paint (next step this weekend) I use 3M 233+ auto body tape. Great adhesion, no glue residue I used a small touch-up brush on portions that didn't get fully covered with the tape. Tomorrow I'll clear coat it.

PSU chassis side shroud is finished. I'll be adding darkside RGB LED kit with power invertor and remote to illuminate the top panel, http://mnpctech.com/pc-led-lights/rgb-colored-custom-gaming-pc-case-mod-light-package.html

Thank you for checking out the build log and commenting guys! I should have the side panels finished today.

Agreed! ...and Top panel and bezel, finished for the Phanteks Luxe. Nest step is wet sanding the clearcoat on the side panels this Thursday.

Thank you! I'm betting some of you were already Star Wars fans too ?! I recruited Cheaps to design a limited handful of our Overkill machined aluminum fan grills in anticipation of "The Force Awakens" http://mnpctech.com/pc-computer-cooling-fans-grills-custom/overkill-pc-grills/

Thank you for the kind words, I'm already brainstorming ideas for my next Deepcool case. Something cheaper to reach wider audience is on top of my list.

Brad airbrushed Spock onto top grill of the Phanteks Luxe yesterday...and cursed at me the whole time about "50% of my canvas is missing"... 8 or 16 BIT SPOCK? a couple of Social Rejects with their fanboy shirts

I'm excited to announce that 25 of my Tristellar Cases were listed on Newegg this week! Applied clear coat to the right side panel and PSU shroud last night. Starting on the top grill artwork today!

Thank you guys! Here is the PSU shroud with Next Gen Enterprise artwork, and left side panel artwork finished.

I debated in the workshop before cutting the sheet and decided the White ship matched the overall theme best. My friend, Brad Galvin has been a huge mentor in teaching me custom paint techniques. I spent Thursday in his paint shop masking off the templates for right side panel and PSU shroud. The Enterprise NC-1701 font was found online and we used Brad's Roland Vinyl plotter to cut everything. We colored matched the two tone Blue LCARS style color bars to my concept drawing. The light Blue for the top LCARS color bar NCC-1701 vinyl will be weeded after Navy Blue paint coat Next stage is applying the Enterprise decal, then clear coating the panels. The Enterprise decal saved a lot of time versus making a stencil to airbrush by hand. It was printed with UV ink, and requires an enamel clear coat to seal it first with 24 hr cure time, before you apply Automotive Urethane clear.
