Hi folks whilst I had no plans for starting any other projects until Silver Ghost was finished I got an email from EK waterblocks in January asking me to pick all the stuff I would need to build inside their new limited edition Vulture Case, Obviously this was way to exciting to pass on and that was never ever a thought so I got to thinking about what would look nice in the case............




Just love the red and grey thing so we are going to try and get in the zone with the colors and with the Case being so dam sexy In my mind they are well matched.

So this arrived last Friday:






















The Case Is Made from 3mm Aluminum held together with 8mm M4 CS bolts and is a fantastic bit of kit this is of no doubt long before you have started to build in it.



Inside next










And the much talked about curve :)






And next the Cooling or most of it as I am minus the 360mm Rad but that will be here very soon
























And Massive thanks to MSI for supporting this project with some hardware :)


















The Specs :
CPU: Intel 4690k
M/B: MSI Z97I GAMING ACK
GPU: MSI Titan Black
RAM:Yes it will defo have some of that ;)
PSU: Corsair HX850i
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB

Cooling by EK with all of their latest Blocks fittings rads and the new Vadar fans.


That is all for now the case panels have been acid dipped to remove the powder coating and we be getting re coated in a grey as to be honest the cost alone of the Paint to match the car was out of the question when I can powder coat it for so much less and will be much more durable for taking to a LAN so the next update will be when the RAD arrives and we can get to the loop this is a very simple and easy project. the case itself has been designed to make the loop easy for the beginner or lots of fun for the more experienced out there and will be as ever done with rigid tube this time its EK's own one rather than my usual E22 but I am told its very nice to work with Ill get to bending some this weekend bye for now :)

Wow, sweet looking case. I can see the inspiration for a car themed build as it has its own sun-roof already built in!
 
I just had a Nerdgasm :D

Subbed for sure, Red and Grey sounds ace.

The case looks great, is there a filter for the front though?

Thanks guys Red and Grey has been on my mind ever since I got into more serious builds/mods so this seemed perfect .
No filter this is a Prototype case and the guys who EK have picked to work with it kinda all knew that we might have to over come a few little issues but I am certain I have some spare ones about the place.

Lots of updates with this in next few days as its a fairly simple one really all about bringing the colors together and enhancing the looks of the sexy case :)
 
Very nice! What RAM were you thinking of going for? Some of that Avexir Core Red would look nice :D

Yes I think the reason would be the window looks so nice with the GPU just behind it with the curve going on.

I know it would be easy enough to make the case MATX, I am not certain but I think I did hear one of the other Chaps who have the case say that it was something they might do.

I did not really want to change the structure of the case just the colors and the finish of the coating the texture is very much like the EK PE rads but now its glossy Anthracite Grey that you will be seeing in the next very soon to happen update :)
 
as always you will do a great job with it, but im not keen on the case's aesthetics, but thats just my opinion. :)

Hey thank you nice comment for my Sunday morning I will do by best to make it as clean and sexy as I can.

One thing is certain you will not be seeing any turbo gauges or bits of cars stuck in the case. I am using the color scheme and the racing style decals from the car and a few little things that will tie it all in together :)
