    I Did the same thing a while back with the D14 and then the Cryorig R1.. I thought for this new case i'd do the Assassin III.

    Next was to move onto some side panels..... I want clear and tinted so a set of each was made using 5-6mm plex and adding some beveled edges. Next was to make the Tinted sides

    With all the parts painted and cleared it's time to start the the shiny shiny process! With the shiny shiny bit done Some assembly work to shape and add the top vent grills ! these are shaped from speaker grill mesh using a jig and hand tools Next is to make some diffusers that will slot into the grills Grills added to the top vents Add in some corsair RGB Start up and iCue on the workshop pc and connect up! And we get RGB!!! And some vids!

    After laying down some colour and some clear then letting it dry over night. The psu cover gets a quick light sand. This is to get the clear as flat as poss for a quick buff. Normally i'd let this sit for a week to let the clear go rock hard. But i wanted to see what sort of mirror finish i could get now. Looking promising, If i can get the whole case to look this good i'll be a happy camper. Happy with that i can get the last 3 sections under colour. A bit more prep work for the front panel and then some colour and clear cloat. Thought i'd take a sneaky peek @ how the black side vents would contrast! Then move onto some big stuff ! remember these ? That's pretty much all the players on the park now... I still need to wet sand and clear coat the top and back panels... prolly thru the week. Then i can finally start thinking about adding some hardware.

    We're on the home stretch now ! ..... well until i change my mind again Yesterday was all the boring stuff..... more sanding and spot putty work... but today was a bit more fun as i finally get to throw down some colour First the boring! Kinda like running around putting out all the little spot fires. Some final prep work to the PSU cover, Filling in all the plex joins and fixing a few small dimples. It's a lotta extra work, but the end result will be worth it. Not sure if any one noticed this before but i changed the front. Decided to carry the lines thru to the bottom of the panel for a cleaner sharper look. This added a couple of extra days work... but i think it's worth the time. Then finish off the bracket for the Galaxy II Stats screen It's a simple spring type clip mod, that just holds the phone snug in place. A hell of a lot more wet rubbing and more spot fires and all the parts under base coat (silver) A day later....just when you thought all the wet rubbing was over ..... It's more wet rubbing again.... Why sand every coat? To get the paint as flat as poss.... that is what gives the mirror finish @ the very end. Fun Time First a few coats of the gun metal and then on goes the 2K clear coat. Lets do a few more Just for giggles! what could have been!!!!!

    Couple of small updates and new additions I knocked this up in the add break, a lil cover for the PSU and a place to hide some cable. Then it was time for some mesh modding A bit of primer and spray putty put em together for a look see and test fit Another Update is the inclusion of an internal stat's screen.

    Almost done with this panel.. Fill a few ruff spots with spot putty a rub and final primer. First off was to get some primer down. Not sure what to call these things, but hopefully they look cool! i'll show the inspiration for adding these soon. A lot more sanding some more primer and a few coats of spray putty. The inspiration DEEPCOOL'S ASSASSIN III COOLER FANS

    Cheers Frayia tyvm I have to agree with you 100% there's still a few strong communities for case modding , thank god for Bittech ! I'll shut up and keep posting After many hours of work all the parts are under highfill and primer. They will sit like this for the next few weeks for all the paint to settle and then be sanded again before the final undercoat then paint then clear is applied. A quick re assemble before moving onto the next stage with a few monochrome shots thrown in. Some colour for contrast

    Cheers HM-2 ty mate The front starts off pretty basic Then gets an extra layer added Then some side vents
  13. Defyant
    The next few things to fabricate were the GPU bracket and support for the pci riser

    The original plan was to passive cool, but i like fans.. so a fan duct was knocked up! The other side is a little different to help direct air flow to the PSU Gluing some cutouts to the sides adds some extra shape
  15. Defyant
    Just practice and patience one day i'll buy a laser cutter

    Cheers jaslion tyvm Next was to play dress ups and add some layered effect to add 3d depth to the parts, For the main spine there will be a front side and back side to work with. The back side will house the PSU the front will be just for looks. A pretty basic cut out is made this will be glued onto the back. A bracket to house the PSU is made and glued into place. For the front side just a simple pattern is added.... for now Next to get some treatment is the mother board tray. This gets a simple pattern with some SSD cutouts All the edges of these layered parts are angle routed for a smoother join and look. The top section get some extra attention. A front io plate is added and a panel from a fractal case was salvaged Then it was time for a hell of a lot of sanding and bondo work. Some base love too! MTC soon

    HYPERCASE DM-01 This build is pretty well under way, So i will post a few current work log pics and then play catch up Don't worry there's still a ton of modding left. First off a big thanks to Mwave for jumping on board and supporting this build with some much needed hardware. A quick back story. I wanted a specific case and when it became obvious that the extreme cost and getting it sent from OS was proving to be a big fail i decided to just make what i wanted myself. Hypercase will be scratch made from Plex. No CNC or LASER work or fancy CAD programs or drawings..... just whats in my head and my hands. I'm sure some of you can relate to that last part NO water cooling i'm having alot more fun nowadays with air coolers "it's still cool to air cool" ! Currently the mod is at the final stages So how did we get here ? It started with 4 basic parts.. A base section Just a single cut and bent piece of plex A matching top section. This was made from 3 parts , 2 x bent sides and a single flat top. Then reinforce with inner braces Next was to make the spine. This was made from much thicker plex and will be triple layered later to add more strength and design. The 4th part was the motherboard tray. This will be a suspended type and will be adjustable

    I have the older 500 without out the mesh. Using the 2700x /5700xt combo i have nps with heat at all just using the 2 front and single 140mm exhaust. I have 3 top installed just to fill the case and have never needed to use them. I'm using the R-1 cooler with triple fans + the 140 exhaust.

    I'd be keen to see the figures if you own them both, I could do a comparison between a 7yr + 212 and a current 212 would be keen to see your comparison between the sports and 212 to see what "much better" looks like. Cheers.

    3 up front and just the one @ the rear works pretty well on my mesh c no dust probs.
  21. Defyant
    That's kinda why i went with the cheaper option of the d14, 120mm fan up front for ram clearance and the larger 140 in the guts... I
  22. Defyant
    Better looking i'll give it that.... But "Much" better Performance? Maybe a second fan has a lot to do with that.
