There is a lot of links to photos in this buildlog, I would advise you go here, this is a gallery containing all of the photos within this buildlog, it will save you a lot of time and effort having to open links etc.

Hi, I'm RaiidZero. This is my first PC mod and I hope you enjoy!

Firstly I began by disassembling my PC as i built it about a year ago but have only recently gotten into modding!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346390

This is my case completely striped down

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346398

Then I started marking on my case where I was going to cut to fit the custom plate i am making and the 360 Rad.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346392

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346396

I then got the metal i was going to use for the mounting plates!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346400

The acrylic i am using behind my motherboard!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346410

I then started to receive some goodies in the post!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346456

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346457

I then began work, first cutting the top and front of my case!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346458/

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346459

After this I started on the fan mounting plates!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346460

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346462/

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346463/

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346464/

Then i finished off the plates by sanding etc and sprayed them black!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346466/

After doing this i mounted the plates and the fans in my case!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346467/

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346468

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346471

I then began to make my cable extensions!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346474

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346475

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346477

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346480

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346489

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346490

After all of this I started fitting my motherboard with the acrylic behind it!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346491/

Then after messing around with right angle comp' fittings and normal ones i finally fitted the tubing and filled the loop!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346493

Here's some glamour shots of where I am upto after all of this

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346498

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346500

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346505

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346507

After this i wired up my switch and began modifying the front panel of my case to accommodate the switch.

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346508

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346509

For the front panel i cut, bend, sprayed black and now glued it over the original front panel..

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346511/

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346512/

I then started practicing drilling holes for my extensions to go through ( This is why they didn't have the female connector on in previous photos)

Also note i am using a hand drill and barely pulling the trigger to achieve the slowest speed possible

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346521

I then managed to get the hang of it and drilled the holes for my 24 pin

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346522

I did the same for the 6 and 8 pin for my GPU but i didn't take photos of those!

I then fitted my white LED strip and screwed in the blue thumb screws !

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346524

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346528

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346530

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1346533

Finally i cut the side panel window and acrylic fitted!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1359812

i then began cutting and shaping the mesh i was using for the top and front panels!

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1363757/

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1363758

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1363759

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1363760

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1363761

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1359823/

I then sprayed the previously chrome strips blue:

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1363762

Here's the top mesh fitted:

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1359936

After i had finished all the mesh and sprayed it i fitted it, along with the blue strips:

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1371565

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1371566/

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1371567

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1371568

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1371569

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1371570

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1371571

And here's my desktop.. just for good measure:

http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1371594

My desktop just in case anyone was wondering! I use rocket dock for the dock at the bottom and my task bar is hidden at the top The wallpaper and rocketdock skin was kindly made for me by my best friend / graphic designer Weemanzander (Alex).

Thanks for taking the time to look and I hope you didn't mind all the links >_< I am truly sorry about that!

Thanks a lot! I'm sorry for all the links but all of my photos were too big ( over 2mb ) to put on here unless i shrank them all down and re-saved them, so I thought that since i put a lot of time into making that other buildlog then it was worth referring you to there, allowing you to see higher quality photos! Once again, thanks a lot for looking and taking the time to go through all the links!

I'm sorry, but you're going to have to fix these links, either copy paste the photo links from overclock.net, or make a new album to put all the pictures in, there's simply too many links to click on.

Wow, this is amazing. I love the side window and I wish that that was the stock window and what you did with the top mesh looks so nice although, I have to ask how easy is it to put dents because my 690's mesh isn't that dent proof :').

But this build is gorgeous and how did you attach the plexi to the case? Double sided tape?

Thanks! it means a lot to hear good feedback like this :) the mesh is fairly 'resistant' to dents, however if i were to push fairly hard on it or drop something like a mobile ( a heavy mobile ) then it would probably dent. This is one of the reasons i do not have it on the floor! I used clear silicon sealant to attach the clear acrylic to the side panel! Once again, thanks for your feedback and if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask!
