  1. So I have finished the cuts for the acrylic. I have a table saw so I was able to get them pretty accurate. I decided to do straight cuts and no bend in the acrylic and than by using right angled aluminium I am able to give the appearance of free flowing panel work. Below are some updated images!
  2. As Promised, I have some updates for you! Next step is some product marketing photos of the items I will be using in the build, along with some panels I have cut out and how it all will come together!

  3. Yeah man, there new peripherals and cases are actually pretty damn good! I've really enjoyed building in it. The chair is pretty awesome too, but I think they need a premium range with high density foam.
  4. Hi Guys, A while ago I did a build for Cougar Gaming in their Panzer Max. I was meaning to do a stage by stage build log, but life, work obligations, changes in employment and moving house all came into practice and it kind of got lost in the making, so I will be posting everything here to see. SPONSORS Cougar Gaming Cougar was kind enough to send me out a fantastic care package. All products supplied are listed below, for more information you can click the respective links! - Cougar Panzer Max - Cougar GX 800W PSU - Cougar CFD 120 White LED Fans - Cougar Attack X3 RGB Keyboard - Cougar Revenger S RGB Mouse - Cougar Immersa Gaming Headset - Cougar Arena Mouse Pad - Cougar Armour Gaming Chair Team Group - T-Force Dark DDR4 3000 RAM 16GB (4x4GB) Reeven - 6 Eyes II Fan Controller Tech Specs ASRock X99 TaiChi Intel Core i7 6800k 16GB T-Force Dark DDR4 Zotac GTX 1070 AMP Edition Cougar GX800 Power Supply Byski 2011 CPU Block (modded to fit 2011-V3 Socket) EK DDC Pump Byski 150mm Reservoirs Byski 120mm & 240mm Radiators Primochill Tubing and Fittings Concept The concept of the build was to try to make it as clean as possible, I planned on putting in custom panel cut outs to create a power supply shroud, and front panel shroud in order to put in a custom 5" LCD Sensor Panel. I would create pass throughs for the tubing in order to keep it as free flowing and neat as possible. Below are a few images of my design ideas on paper, and paper concepts mock up. As you can see by my initial designs not everything actually came into reality with what I was planning on doing. In truth I had so much stuff going on I kept changing aspects in order to make more progress, I am not entirely happy with the end product, but I am planning on doing a rebuild of it in the near future. But you will see what I mean when we get further into it. I will post some more updates real soon!
  5. doing some more work today, should have some more pics up!
  6. cheers man, I should hopefully be done in the coming weeks!
  7. cheers mate I appreciate it, I have some stuff going on atm, its on hold but you will see some updates hopefully next two days.

  9. managed to get some more cuts done today, I also bought myself a table saw. I am still waiting for some parts to arrive before I make my final measurements and cuts to ensure that I have the correct spacing and amount of room for cable management but here is a little mock up.
  10. I got a day off work today, its been pretty hectic for me lately trying to juggle my 10-12 hour shifts and make progress. I did some of my cuts today and purchased some more things that I needed to get it done. I also have a sneak peak at the window panel that I am designing (2D) currently. Should have some more updates coming soon. I have next weekend off and I plan to make a tonne of progress! Follow me on facebook for news, updates, reviews and giveaways! www.facebook.com/hextechmods
  11. Placeholder for Updates; Update #2: One would be advised that doing mathematics at 2-3am is probably not the best idea as I have made some serious calculation errors. New design will be up soon, not much is changing, I am considering moving the PSU to the rear of the case and than featuring two SSD's in the place where the PSU won't fit. The other option is to mount the PSU on its side, however not sure I like that idea. Will post an update when I have some new sketches up. Update #1: I have done some measurements the early hours of this morning and drew up some concepts to how I want to get this build underway.

  13. Hi Guys, My name is Shane and I am a first time poster, new to the forum and wanted to start a work log on my upcoming build in Thermaltakes Core P5. Its around 3am here and I have been drawing up some draft sketches and non scale drawings on my graph pad to render some ideas for how this things will go together. Concept: Create an infinity effect as the back plate of the Core P5, but not just the surrounds but accent each component with its own infinity effect. System Specs; Thermaltake Core P5ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 K6 GamingIntel i7 6700KEVGA Geforce GTX 970 FTW+ ACX2.0Cougar GX800 PSUApacer 480GB M.2 Apacer 240GB SSD16GB T.FORCE DARK DDR4 3000mhzCustom Sleeved CablesFully Watercooled with Alphacool components. The idea will be to place a new back plate over the existing case, add in the infinity effect using mirrored acrylic and component platforms to accenting each component. I haven't decided if I want to use MDF or Ply Wood or rather a combination of both. Follow this post to stay up to date! You can see the photo of the effect below. Follow us on Facebook to check out any new and upcoming builds. * If you would like to jump on board with this build. It would definitely be appreciated. You can contact me below via email or facebook. Thanks Everyone, Shane Rayson @: shane@hextechmods.com W: www.facebook.com/hextechmods
