May the light have your back and your ISO low.

Love the hints of purple on the cables, it just sees to work with the aluminium and breaks up the monotony of the grey...

Update 5
Reveal for the custom PSU shroud
Sponsor update
Custom cables
 
 
Well hello there friends!
 
I have another large update for you guys, and this time I have the reveal for the custom PSU shroud, the custom sleeved cables, and a sponsor announcement!
 
With this update I would like to introduce Ultimate Personal Computers as a sponsor, who have donated a generous amount of sleeving and extra little bits and pieces needed so I can make my custom length cables look the best in the world. I have actually chosen instead of taking them on their offer as I believe that Adam's Aegis sleeving is the best to work with, and is just as pleasant to work with when I compare them too MDPC sleeving.

Next up I have the reveal for the PSU shroud which I have made from Aluminium, and hole mesh. This shroud is made from a single piece of Aluminium, and has been given a brushed finish so that it matches the outside of the chassis. I have also given it a clear coat so that it protects the shroud from oxidization and scratches.
 
There is a hole mesh which has been brushed and clear coated as well. This is to give a nice design feature, but also to allow airflow to the 80mm fan located on the PSU.

Now just a little text update on what is coming up in the next update: I am currently working on the floor panel, which will be  of the same design as the PSU shroud, and I am also working on a panel which sits beside the motherboard, and behind the PSU shroud. These panels will be installed so that there is almost no visible seems, and give a nice overall classy look to the inside of the chassis. 
 
I will soon work on a custom GPU backplate, and a custom panel for behind the motherboard. I will then go ahead and start installing the hardware and wiring up some LED lighting.
 
What do you guys think of the project so far? Please let me know!! I am always trying to think of new and fresh ideas to make my modded projects stand out from everything else in the world! :)
 
With kind regards,
Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

What's with the cable run over the heatsink? I would have rathered see if follow the fan around back to the motherboard. Just something that stood out to me...

Awesome! That purple adds just the right dash of color so it's not all silver.

As it says in the name, Elegance 

 

 

Dang this is another level of modding, great work Acid!

 

Thank you to all for the very nice comments! I am having a blast with this project, and it is actually almost finished. I am currently working on the floor panel, and will start work on the GPU shroud/backplate right after. Then just need to install the SSD and LED lighting and get some shots! :)

 

@d33g33 I liked the way it looks :)

Update 6

This was supposed to be the last update, but I accidently thought of more things to fabricate.... :)

 


Hello and welcome again to Justin's house of madness, where I continue to make my own life difficult and come up with more and more ideas that only prolong the finish date of this modding project!! Haha ;)

 

Every time I look at what I have created so far, I always look and most of the time find more things to do to this project. If I continue like this, I will never be finished!

 

Todays update includes several new features, all hand made and fabricated from 100% recycled materials from my workplace. Not only are they very nice, they are also environmentally friendly! But enough jibber-jabber from me, and onwards with the update.

 

 

First up we have another custom cable. This time it is a SATA power cable, which is just 7cm long

Next up, I fabricated an aluminium plate which blends the Cryorig H7 CPU tower into the overall design

I installed the OCZ Arc100 SSD

I fabricated a GPU backplate/shroud thingy

I am currently working on a backplate which covers the CPU towers support plate, and which will be visible through a windowed side panel. Design that will appear on this panel is not finalized though

As work continues, I find myself thinking that I do not want for this project to finish. I am having way too much fun with it :) Anyways, thank you so much for reading and I hope that you have enjoyed this update. 

 

Kind regards,

Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

I love this build! 

 

I think the clean industrial look is one few people pull off like this. Looking forward to more :)

Damn that's clean. The cabling and the shrouds look really nice and it's not even finished yet (nearly)

Are you going to do anything with the black power supply cable? it looks really out of place there. The aluminium on the fan looks a little out of place as it's not brushed too.

I do this whenever I look at it ;)

I am considering cutting the end and putting sleeve on it. I am worried that I might damage the cable or connector though, and then not have a power cable at all. I have been thinking about this for around 4 weeks now, with this idea just sitting on the backburner... :)

 

 

Kind regards,
