Hi everyone! Time to start a new project and I am going to continue with the superhero stuff.

What made you decide to go with an i5 rather than a Ryzen build or even an i7

Because the MBO, CPU and GPU are sponsored by my local store and after this is finished, they will place it in the local store to present it. After that it will be available for purchase. I had to go low on prices.

I didn't take any pictures of the case (my bad), but I did take these photos

 

Some new legs for the build:

 

 

Plates for that top and front cover:

 

 

And power supply shroud has a new cut:

New custom plates and colored parts have arrived. Here are some photos of them and how will it look when I place them on the top and front case cover:

So I have been working in my garage for the past two days to do all the cuts and paint works, so here are some photos I took. On the other hand, there is loads of video fotage, so I will include some in the timelapse video.

 

 

The reservoir from Raijintek was gold colored so I had to fix that somehow and went with carbon sticker to match the motherboard:

 

 

And just a small sneak peek how the GPU will be mounted. Loads of stuff is missing so don't judge the photo. I had to see how it looks.

Some updates... There are some fixes i need to do, but nothing to bad.

 

[PC Crazy Dario]

And it is done! I'll make a timelapse video shortly, probably show you guys tomorrow.

 

Things I did:

- custom two panels for the case (top and front)

- cuts on the power supply shroud for the PCI riser and for the pump to fit

- vertical custom mount (cut out in the case) for the graphic card

- custom paint on the custom panels, meshed parts on top and front of the case, and power supply shroud

- placed the SSD on front of the power supply shroud

- changed the front LED so the Raidmax logo can light up red instead of blue

- changed two LEDs on the power supply shroud from blue to red

- carbon sticker on the reservoir to hide some gold parts and to fit the motherboard looks

 

All in all, personally, I am satisfied because I didn't want to go overboard with the build and mods. Simple stuff to get the look of Cyborg from the outside and the red interior of the build for his "mechanism" and stuff.

Hope you like it guys.

And finally, special thanks to my sponsors (TeamGroup Inc., Raidmax Gaming, SiliconPower, Raijintek, Instar Informatika) for supporting me on this project! It was wonderfull working with all of them.

As I said, I will post the timelapse video. Now I am not asking for any subs or thumbs up, it is here if you only want to watch it.

If it is against the community rules I will gladly remove it (because I couldn't find the rules).
