That looks awesome.

That case would be so much better if you could use the frame as the tubing imo.

In theory nothing stops you drilling into the frame tubing and running some soft tube through it.....???
In practice only Streacom know if the black metal frames cut through the tube (that would be the logical points to make it continuous) or vice versa.

I'm not brave enough to find out.

Best build I've seen - or at least - the build that matches my own tastes the most. Super cool

My god I dind't even think about that. Maybe next time? Anyhow I am always trying to avoid modding the case, but this sounds like a brilliant idea.
Glad you liked the design

Thank you, your positive comments really matter to me. I can gladly share the 3d file in case you need to do something similar!

Awesome work, love the renders. Fusion 360?

I'd be interested in have a copy of your files so I can explore how you constructed things. A few of my more complex designs would involve riser cables in real life which are not part of the 3D model, so it'd be good to see how others generate such components and build them in.
