Good day gents!

I've recently had thoughts of buying the In Win Grone Big Tower and customize it and re-paint it with plastidip.

I've had my thoughts on either a blood-red & carbon style or Razer themed case. Thought id ask for some opinions before I do anything, what would you guys like to see?


Case - In Win Grone Big-Tower
Cable - CableMod C-Series
Screws - Thumbscrews (40 pack)
Cable Tie - Bitspower Cable tie 120mm
Casemod 1 - NZXT Bunker 5,25" 4 USB Lock System
Casemod 2 - Aerocool Touch 2100 Panel Fan Control
LED - Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Multicolor LED strip (2M)
LED Control - Aqua Computer Colorwork USB - Bluetooth Version
Plastidip Red - Plastidip Aerosol Spray - 400ml X 4
Plastidip Green - Plastidip Aerosol Spray - 400ml X 4

I will probably add more mods to the list. Is there any mods you would recommend or would like to see used in this build?

Once the case itself is finished and has been customized with the modifications I want, I will begin ordering parts to finish the extreme gaming build.


Best regards
Stian

Razer themed sounds good to me.

Seeing it's your first forum post, try include some images in OP as directed by the rules though, or mod will shut you down until you have some. ;)

Alright thank you for telling me, I'm currently working on a design of how I want it to look. Just not sure what software to use for 3D design.

I also like the Razer theme as most teenagers where I live likes it, so i have the possibility to sell it if I want to begin doing more projects :)
 
I haven't seen a Razer themed build before, green themed but not Razer themed so I'm looking forward to seeing this build. :)

I also like your mind set, always thinking of the future :D
 
Doing my best to get started, I have honestly never done a project like this. So I'm currently drawing the case by hand while I look for a 3D software that's not to advanced to get used to. Tried a few but no luck so far, hopefully I'll get a design that I can post.

If anyone have any tips on what softwares to use, please let me know :)

This is where I'm currently at, first time using this software so It takes some time to get used to. Going to add some more details then get started on chosing colors and adding LEDs and fans etc

Sorted some of the paint out, still going to add some more "details" such as Razer Icon and more. Currently making a list of everything I need to begin the project.
 
I've used Google Sketchup because there are some great video tutorials, I've found it quite good for me anyway and I got into it quite quickly. I've had some trouble trying to print to scale but other than that its good. What did you use for those you've done above?

Black n Green is always a nice combination, have you got any hardware plans yet? There is a very nice Gigabyte motherboard Z170 sniper if you were gonna go skylake.
 
For my design I use Autodesk Inventor, I've not got any hardware plans other than It'll be Top notch comoponents. Not going to be cheap when it comes to hardware as I'm going to be using the hardware for a couple of years and just make new cases whenever I get bored of the old one.

Id love to get some assistance on ideas and hardware if you want to give me a hand :)

Thank you Luggs, I spent around 13 hours the first day figuring it out. Yet I have not figured it all out so I'm always having a challenge when I continue the work.

I'm having thoughts of adding some 3D Razer Icon and some more "details" to the case I'm going to purchase. To be completely honest with you guys, I've over the days I've been unsure about the case I've listed above. If you have any ideas of any cases preferably Big towers/full towers.

Well I know I didn't regret going x99 over z170, that's your biggest choice to make then go from there. Did you have a budget in mind?

As for cases, I love the Phanteks Primo but I'm biased for all thing Phanteks. But if I could buy a case right now it would be one of the large cubes, such as Thermaltake X9 Core or the Lian Li PC-08 or D600WB

I don't have a budget in mind at this point, I'm currently unemployed and awaiting response from a company that would hire me as an electrician apprentice.

I also think that the Phanteks Primo would be fairly easy to mod, I'm looking at it now. I've got some ideas and I believe it would look great.
Thank you for the suggestion!

I currently have a beaten up CoolerMaster HAF X case, had it for a year maybe, had it in the basement at my parents since I moved out.
Took it out and tested it today, every component still works like a charm.

Haha yeah, I've had my thoughts of it but I've some experience with customizing cases. It's not my first time, but It is in fact my first time sharing my build and posting progress. It's hard to make a case that will stand out from the others on here, taking your projects as an example. Making a project look as good as yours Primo build would take me years on years. :P
 
Midas has evolved over two years, that was the fun after finishing it the first time ! Trust me if I can do it, so can you.
Glad you are going to share the build this time, it makes it all worthwhile and you also get in touch with people that are always willing to offer advice etc and who appreciate your efforts also of course.
 
My main goal is to be sponsed by a scandinavian company named Komplett. They're basicly like Overclockers, but not as awesome.

So I'm going to put a lot of effort and time in my projects and hopefully it'll turn out great. You're absolutely right, there's no more joy then sharing a project you've spent time on and in the end see that people appreciate the effort and enjoys the final result.

Had a little design hour of the Phanteks Primo case that Colinmcr suggested. I can say that I see why he likes the case and I'm quite fond of it.

I've got a few more details i would like to add before I make up my mind. What do you guys think, should I continue with the Phanteks design or continue on the old one?

I also would like some assistance when it comes to watercooling. After having another look at Cloinmcr's Primo Midas build I have fallen in love with how watercooled computers look. :)
