[Build Log] Blue Snow - Panzer Max

[hextechmods]

Hi Guys, 

A while ago I did a build for Cougar Gaming in their Panzer Max. I was meaning to do a stage by stage build log, but life, work obligations, changes in employment and moving house all came into practice and it kind of got lost in the making, so I will be posting everything here to see.

Concept

The concept of the build was to try to make it as clean as possible, I planned on putting in custom panel cut outs to create a power supply shroud, and front panel shroud in order to put in a custom 5" LCD Sensor Panel. 

I would create pass throughs for the tubing in order to keep it as free flowing and neat as possible.

Below are a few images of my design ideas on paper, and paper concepts mock up.

As you can see by my initial designs not everything actually came into reality with what I was planning on doing. In truth I had so much stuff going on I kept changing aspects in order to make more progress, I am not entirely happy with the end product, but I am planning on doing a rebuild of it in the near future. But you will see what I mean when we get further into it.

I will post some more updates real soon!

Yeah man, there new peripherals and cases are actually pretty damn good! I've really enjoyed building in it. 

The chair is pretty awesome too, but I think they need a premium range with high density foam.

So I have finished the cuts for the acrylic. I have a table saw so I was able to get them pretty accurate. I decided to do straight cuts and no bend in the acrylic and than by using right angled aluminium I am able to give the appearance of free flowing panel work. Below are some updated images!
