Time to begin with components photos.
 

Always wanted to do Star Wars custom build and now there is a chance to do it. This build will be live modified at my local event, the InfoGamer by Reboot in Zagreb, Croatia. Also, I have to finish it in few days, because right after that event, I am going to Belgrade, Serbia on Games.con event as well. So have to say that this is very interesting for me.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Cheers Guys tyvm

The  Side Windows for this case are unique in their shape. Conventional square shaped sides would not work for this case.   The Clear plex used is 6mm thick making these very rigid and heavy.         To hold the panels in place ive decided to use a ledge and magnet style design.               You can see that with these on all 4 corners the side panel cannot move twist or turn.... How ever it could fall off !   The rear earth magnet make sure this dosn't happen.              

The Blades can now be Weldon glued direct to the housing . Weldon Acrylic Glue is extremely strong and would take a lot to snap one of these blades off.
 

 
Ive slipped a tinted window into the top for contrast but this will be changed to clear.
 

 
 
A small concealed power switch is added to the underside of the case.
 

 
And to finish off the Blades are trimmed at the rear.
 

Next is to cut the Blades part of this case mod.   In all there will be a total of 9 Blades of white plex. White chosen for the contrast on the diffused housing.   The first blade is cut by hand using a router. Then 9 more are cut ( as to keep a template) using the router to profile the original. This keeps all 10 blades close to identical.       Next is to measure and cut out the centres. Again profiled to get near exact copies.      

my computer is made out of mud and twigs in comparison

Defyant's Light Blade
 
I wanted some thing nicer than stock cases for my modding workshop and some thing that would really show off custom RGB lighting. 
 
The inspiration for the style of this mod came from  InsolentGnomes amazing Deep blue (formerly G-Frame) if you havn't seen his mod take the time to check it out
 
As you can tell by the title, This will be a scratch built from Acrylic custom air cooled case , built around my existing hardware with the addition of some new Corsair 140mm LL's for flow and 120 LL's on CPU cooling duties with Corsairs RGB light strips doing most of the RGB work on the front and sides. With iCue running all the disco.
 
Parts List as this is a Workshop PC are modest.
Asus Strix 270i
16G DDR4 2800
2 x M.2 120/240
GPU TBA
Intel 6700
SFX700W Silverstone PSU
HSF Custom Hyper 212
Cable Mod Pro Carbon Cables
Corsair Lighting Node Pro and Hub 
2 x Corsair LL-140 Fans
2 x Corsair LL-120 Fans
4 x Corsair RGB Addressable strips
 
 
As you can see from the first pic, The PC's that bookend my monitors are boring as hell, Even tho they are fully modded Fractal Nano S cases. The new Light Blade PC will completely change this.
 
 

 
*************** Latest Update Pics **********
 
 
 
 
 
 
The mod starts with an inner housing cut from diffused plex.  This was chosen for it's ability to show diffused RGB and match the Blades of the Corsair LL Fans.   
 
All the cuts were done using a router to the 4 sections then glued using Weldon.
 

 
 
As you can see by the holes this case will get plenty of air.
 
 

 
 
 
A panel is made for the fans to attach too rather than drill holes thru the front of the case. This panel will be later Box'd to become a housing for the fans.
 
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
 
This will be 1 of 2 cases that will be build, The other a water cooled case so it is designed to fit a 280mm AIO up top.

The time has come to start a new project in collaboration with the well-known world brand Thermaltake. The theme of the project was quite easy to choose from as we immediately thought to present it at the event on information technology and gaming, Lucca Comics, which will be held in the period of late October-early November. Just in this period there is an important party in America and also in other parts of the world, Halloween. Well, the theme of the project is based on tetra and gloomy and the name is "The Tombstone". Inside the fantastic chassis, Thermaltake View 91 TG, will be implemented of the scenic material that reflects the main theme. Skeletons, dark setting and dark purple color of the loop of liquid cooling will decorate the inside of the chassis while on the front there will be a headstone with a skeleton with sound and movement. The pump-tank combos positioned on the sides of the headstone will simulate the grave stone lighting. Now we just have to start the project showing the spectacular material that Thermaltake kindly gave me for the realization of the project.
 











 
Stay tuned

Right, but i feel like moving cases sorta makes it a new build. I had an ITX build i took to college because it was portable. After a few years when i got a real place to live, i upgraded to an ATX, and ugraded cpu/mobo/gpu. The rest of the components were pretty much the same at that time, and i upgraded real slowly - piece by piece
 
ITXs are a lot of fun though. I built mine in a silverstone RVZ01. I still have it but its just collecting dust now

this is sweet. Got me itching to do another build

Man you filled those storage bays like a lady of the night. 
 
Great looking build, congrats on the long process being completed!

Yes, make sure you are using the 4+4 EPS12V CPU power cable not a PCIE or VGA cable.

The hexagons can fit into the squares but the squares can't fit into the hexagons. 

Just because RTX seems underwhelming doesn't mean Nvidia isn't a valid option. If you are looking at a high-end GPU's I suggest getting a 1080Ti used, you can get some killer deals and it's nearly the same as an RTX 2080. Don't even bother with Vega. Also, the doubling of cores is on the Threadripper I haven't heard anything about doubling up on cores for the launch of the next line of whatever replaces the current Ryzen 7 CPU's. I would actually recommend getting a R7 1700 on the cheap. Then when AMD launches their 7nm CPU's swap for a new one. AMD has promised AM4 support through to 2020 so your motherboard would still be compatible.

So he built a system with a Vega GPU?
