Hi guys and welcome to my mod log of my CIT 1002 :)

I decided to start work on my old case today :D

This is how it looked like before starting work:

Tomorrow I'll start painting the interior orange :cool:

Thanks for looking :D sorry for the quality i only have an iPhone to take pics :(
 
I like Orange stuff.

Please get a better camera though at least for the end shots.

I hope you are going to modify the lighting around that case.

Yeah my camera is quite bad I'll try my parent's camera next time :P
I already have some 120mm xigmatek orange fans and some orange tubing *hint* *hint* and I'll be using that :)
Orange is my favourite colour :P

Obvious statement of the year right there?

Good luck for the build :)

wadda yah guys think about the new phone camera?
 
Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't made any updates to the build log recently as I've been revising for my exams and also I just finished watercooling my main rig tonight :D
I'm gonna do the second coat of paint tomorrow so I will either update with some more pics tomorrow or once the paint has dried :)
 
I wouldn't really recommend the case because there is absolutely no cable management, the airflow is terrible as even though there are two 120mm fan slots you can't ger to the front ones to fit a fan as the 3.5" bays are in the way, I bought it from a different site from overclockers and it was just so I had a case until I got enough money to buy a new one and anyway the site don't even list it anymore.
Overall if you could stretch your budget then I'd recommend this case

Yeah I love that motherboard itnwould look great in my main rig as that's black with orange mesh and pci plates :)
Just a shame I have hardly any money just now and also it's x58 I'd rather ifnit was a sandy bridge motherboard
 
Right, so after a hugely long time away from this, I'm back with an update :D

So, a while back I decided to change the case for this build to my storm sniper :)
so here are some pics of what I've done, sorry about the lighting in the pics the light in this room is horrible (in the process of building an extention :p

What do you guys think? :)
 
well, I'm either gonna buy some orange extensions & sata cables/braid the psu :)
I quite like the look of the pci retention clips, but I'm gonna paint the 5.25" drive bay clips orange
I'm also gonna get some orange liquid
and the fans will be the hardest part for me, but I'll need to get a soldering iron, some orange/white leds and a multimeter
and finally...
I'm saving up for a new camera by the end of the summer, hopefully I can afford an entry-level dslr :)
 
yeah I think if I was to get all of the stuff I'd want I'd need a sponsor, as I'm NOT spending another £200 or so on watercooling stuff, and all that stuff would be overkill for my rig :p

ps - the price is £206 :o
