[Xerino]

You bet

 

WOOOHOOO!!! Make me some toast!!

Its been done before and looks nice, specially if you're flipping the GPU @ 90degrees.

 

 

I wont be doing a window as such but some decorative work on my sidepanel but need the perforated panel for dual rads...

yea that mod looks sweet but I'm thinking about the whole side being one big window,and therefore sparing my original sidepanel from any cutting

Oh thats cool! Maybe look at one way glass!

[Butterfish]

I did some research on one way mirror film to put on the acrylic, but that sh*t is expensive as fuuuuuu... 

[d33g33]

well, im still excited to see what you do with it! 

 

I went to order a replacement front and side panel today but couldn't as they were all out of stock... I'll have to send them an email to see if they can get one and I'll cut it cut by @OrangeClockwerk

 

Also im switching out for that Asrock X99 mITX board because that is so stupid. I dont think people are taking the right approach with that board, Yes you lose out on the quad channel mem and you lose out on 'utilizing' all those PCIE lanes but for gods sakes. It's the same as a z97 with potentially 8-cores.

Already have a buyer for it.

When I looked today the replacement kits were all sold out!

so will we see the first 8-core M1 or will you settle for a 6-core

I think you're going to need a short cable kit for your PSU. Couple it with a custom made extension kit and you'd be able to achieve some great things with your build!

 

Can't wait to see final pics.

[Butterfish]

@Lavin Those short psu cables would be amazing! Though I think they are a bit too short tbh

That's the beauty of them, you can attach any sleeved extension you want onto them! 

Alternatively, I also produce normal unsleeved wires that are the exact length you need. Give me some measurements and I will build it for you. Any length at all! That way, you don't have any excess slack that will dirty up your case and build up clutter.

the problem with the ncase, gtx 970 and sst-sx500-lg combo is, that there is almost no space between gpu backplate and psu. therefore you need very flexible cables like the silverstone one.

I actually have both soft and normal flex copper wire. The softer wire tests a slight bit weaker but does not affect performance at all. Both are 18AWG which is the average gauge of wires in most PSUs. I can accommodate most any build and request.
