360 RAD mount in front! Looks good to me. :) I might move it higher, but I need the RAD in hand first for measurements.

I just finished the new motherboard tray for this project,  I'm calling it MoboTray V2.0. The Idea behind this mod is to have a space between the two mobo plates where I can route all the cables and keep the back of the case

as clean as possible. The result, for me, was outstanding. For mounting it on the case, I used the stock holes of the case and attached it using couple thumbscrews. With it, I can easily install or take it out of the case. :) 

This is just one of the unique/innovative mods I will do for this  project so please keep checking the build log! :)

Shroud-Channel-bay. This is the PSU shroud I made for Project Imagination. It's just like your regular PSU Shroud, but it has built-in floor channel and 5.25" bay mount for fan controllers/etc. Enjoy! (Please ignore the protective tape on the channel)

More coming for Project Imagination! wink.gif

Well, here it is guys! Project Imagination is done. This is my 2nd case mod project and it is pretty challenging to modify a bigger case. Took me a while, but it was all worth it. First, I'd like to thank Cooler Master for giving me the chance to modify their Trooper case. I'd also like to thank Aquacomputer and ASUS for their support.
 
There's so much more I wanted to do on the case, but unfortunately I have to finish it now and share it with you all. I hope you all like it.
 
I apologize for picture's quality. I am not that great in photography. My setup was just a couple light bulbs, my comforter(lol) as background, and my sister's camera. :D
 
Also, please take time to visit my project log on CoolerMaster's forum and support me for the upcoming Cooler Master's Case Mod competition 2013. 
 
Let me know what you think of it and you have any questions about my project. :)
 
PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS! :D
