My Beast Build.

[King_PIN]

I named it the "Beast Build" before I joined the forum so I'm sure it's not going to be anything special.  

If you aren't familiar with the case it's made for water cooling but I have turned it into an air flow case with custom acrylic side panels which have cutouts for the Rad and 2 sets of 360mm fans. 

I am in the early stages of the build.  Taking my time because I want to get it right.  

I am using 2 Barrow 360 radiator brackets to support the fans on the sides. 

In time I will order some custom cables.  I do have Cablemod ProMesh cable extensions but after doing some reading I chose not to use them.

I'm not embarrassed to say nothing special.  

Light gaming, photoshop work. 

I just like to have nice things.

Picked up my acrylic doors and another piece of black acrylic that you will see in the pics.

The outside 1" edge of the doors are being painted in the garage.  They should be finished later today.   

Mounted the AIO ran some wiring installed the brackets and fans after drilling out the case.  

Waiting for a NZXT Hub 3 coming today to finish up.  

Custom cables need to be ordered but they are not so important right now. 

Also cut and polished a couple acrylic blocks that will be fitted inside 2 Alphacool Aurora XPX Digital RGB frames.  They will sit where pumps are designated to go in this case which I'm not using.

Another update if anyone's interested.  

 

Finished painting the door edges and installing them on the hinges.  

Ran all the wiring and found out one cable was too short so I have to wait until Thursday for it. 

GPU installed.  

Hardware monitor installed.

Fan brackets adjusted to fit the openings perfectly. 

A little more cable mgmt and I'll be ready for the first boot.

Well all custom parts arrived and everything is installed ready to go.  

Come this weekend when I have time I will finally get a chance to turn this sucker on.

I'm pretty proud of myself. Lot's of custom work. Acrylic panels, fan mounting brackets and install, acrylic lighted blocks although center one isn't working for some reason, wiring, the black acrylic mirror that runs down the mobo that adds depth and reflects the lighting. I put a lot of thought into it and it turned out better then I hoped.

I have no control over the lighting yet until I install the control programs.
It won't be multi colored but all a dim white or light blue.

 

Thanks to @SpiderMan for all the help.

Just about ready to move it to it's new home on my desk with a proper monitor..  

That's a hell of a lot of work though and will be a few days.
