wow neat! I had not realized that you will paint the case. Im actually soon going to partially paint my case too, but will take the cheaper option and just use plasti dip, pretty sure your result will look stunning in comparison.

Yeah I didn't think I was going to paint it either, about a week before I got it I remembered that some of the case is white and some of the case is black, and I want an all white case so I just decided to powder coat it haha

Alright guys, I've gotten the case back and I have also gotten the cables from CableMod. I've also started putting it together and it is a VERY tight fit in some spots haha.

Ahhh, another caselabs user. Always good to see another of us doing a build.

 

 

Followed.

 

Edit: Wait, is that radiator actually going in the basement? How is that going to breath?

No it is actually a top mounted radiator

Well guys, it's done and I must say it looks real nice. I wish I would have implemented more orange, but it looks good either way.

It was this pictureimage.png.62fd86facc00b9715658aef25e605f34.png

 

That confused me. That radiator placement makes zero sense lol.

 

Either way, nice build. Also, cudo's for defying convention and having a PC in the living room.

Ahh, I see what you meant. I don't think a bottom mounted radiator like that is a very good thing, I agree with you that it would might be starved for air. But anyways, thank you and I thought having a PC in the living room would be good for when I have family and friends over, we can play with VR and do some multiplayer stuff.
