It looks great, but I've never been a fan of bolted on windows. I'm one for ones that are mounted from the inside with glue, but everyone has their own tastes!  :P

DON"T STOP

:) Soon

Thanks! I bent the window myself by using the vanilla bend that the top panel has as a guide. I clamped down the top part of acrylic under a wooden block and gaffer tape, then heated it with a heat gun, and gave a little downward pressure until it formed after the vanilla bend.

 

Very good

Cheers!

I torment you with giving the gift of anticipation, otherwise it was over in the blink of an eye then you would not enjoy the project so much :)

Well it may not appeal to everyone, but I like it :) Also, the original window was a bolt on, so I did this style so the new windows would match the original :)

Update 7

The Grand Finalé 


 

 

Hello friends! 

 

Today, I update this build log for the last time with the final photos for my Raijintek Metis modding project - Elegance. 

 

I would like to give a massive thank you to all of the vendors who have supported this project with their products, but most of all I would like to thank you (Yes you reading this!!) for being here, taking interest and giving feedback during this entire process. Without your help and support, I would not be able to do what I love to do - To create PC art!

 

So without further blabber and fluff, it is with great joy that I present to you the final images of my latest completed project - Elegance by MetallicAcid.

This reminds me of those cases from the early-mid 2000s that had the split bolt on windows that everyone had. It's kinda nostalgic seeing these angles of the case. With that thinking, I'm completely fine with the bolt on now!  :D

I wasn't sure it was possible, but I prefer this to your monolith build, largely because of the wrap around window and the covers for everything. Well done mate, well done indeed. You should enter this for the WAN show featured builds now as well as the bit-tech MotM you've already entered.

I currently have it hidden away from my daughter so it doesn't get scratches until I enter it into a competition this Thursday. Then I will use it, and it will get scratched etc etc... :)

 

That is stunning.

Awesome to hear! Thanks mate!

 

Spectacular as always :D

Thank you :)

Well everyone has their window on the inside these days, so I thought of doing something different ;) I like how it looks!

 

Words can't do this justice, outstanding work sir!

Thank you Feral. I am very pleased with the final result.

The Monolith is looking at me with very sad eyes... They both have a special place in my heart :)

Haha. Thank you :)

 

so pretty

Cheers mate!

 

This is just amazing. Congrats at making such a nice looking PC

And thank you too Blackie!

 

Is that a headphone cable coming out of the back of the build?

This is the adapter for the LED lighting. I did not connect it up to the power supply as I wish to be able to turn off the LED lighting during the day time as to not attract the kids to the PC. There is no fan controller, so this was my only solution.

 

Beautiful, I can't wait to see the S-Frame build too!

Thanks! That build log is coming live very soon :D

 

Amazing work as always. Well done!

And thank you d33g33 for the continued support mate!

 

 

Thank you everyone again for the overwhelming great support and awesome comments. I have had a blast with this modding project, and am about to start the next one using an S-Frame chassis, ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark S with white PCB, SLI 980s and chromed tubed custom water cooling. I hope to see you at the next project!

Personally I prefer the windows at the same level as the metal around them but this build is winning me over  :wub:
