Dont worry, i have plans to cover that part
Project : LV-426 an Alien inspired build ( a Jonsbo MOD5 build )
- Thread starter Brizzles
- Start date
Dont worry, i have plans to cover that part
Update time.
I said earlier i had plans for the cpu back, so here it is.
( ^^ rough placement of some case decals in background, still playing with those ^^)
Test placement only, so its a little wonky
( RGB hub is work in progress , but will get similar treatment to the fan hub )
and it will actually let any heat out
More to come and thanks for looking in.

The 2 8pin EPS/Mobo cables were looking out of place, so they have joined the conduit party !!
Roughish placement at the moment ( I'm still getting the RGB hub/cables sorted in my head before tackling that. )
And after much deliberation on where they would go, i felt brave and added some of the case markings.
Photo makes them stand out more than in real light, they are a little more subtle in natural light.
As i dont have a vinyl printing/cutting machine, they are all derived from 2 words i had printed for me MOD5 ( the case ) and BRIZZLES ( my forum name ) and i hand trimmed the letters to look kinda random ( and it is actually a real font called HEIKO ).
RGB hub next - I promise

And its update time once again.
Back is finished, bar a couple of stray wires and some final tidying.
And then i put a glass panel over it and it gets put against a wall where you can't see any of this side !!
Thank for all the comments.

Well spotted, i'll sort that - Thanks.
A few more details added as i near the end.
That had to go ^^
So i traded in my RTX4080 for an HX-7290.Q
Piece of vinyl to cover the GeForce part
And my Seasonic psu is apparently made by Vulkan Industries now
Added some black hose clamps to the AIO tubes, breaks up the legths of grey running across the board and ties it into the theme imo.
Started work on the cables hanging out the back, i have an idea in mind.
Thank for all the comments, much appreciated.

Been a while, and probably the last update as i think its finished.
I said earlier i had an idea for the cable spaghetti hanging out the back of the case, so here it is.....................................
It a cable 'spine' you use on adjustable tables ( raise/lower ) to route cables.
Whilst not a perfect fit, it does exactly what i wanted and keeps the futuristic and Xenomorphish ( as some have commented ) theme.
If i get the energy, i might take it outside for some final pictures, but thanks for your support along the way - it was all greatly appreciated and kept me going.

The one on the side of the case ( below the PSU ) does still say MOD5.

Another update.
They grey vinyl was ok, but it lacked a little 'something'. So i decided to go a little darker and more 'Aliens' with the theme.
Weapon of choice in the vinyl selection is this - Black Diamond ;
From here on in , my photos won't do this stuff justice, its amazing stuff.
( normal daytime/room lighting )
( with a torch shining on it )
With no direct light, its flat matte black - it literally absorbs light and gives no reflection as its textured. All the decals i've used are matte black and you can see how much they shine compared to this vinyl. It all makes for a very 'stealthy' looking effect where you really have to look for the lettering and markings and adds a little mystery to it.
I've updated the mini-display, to an Alien theme, anyone familiar will recognise the Motion Tracker ( Sadly the alien dots wont move due to software limitations, but all the numeric values are live ( Red is fan speed F.E.M.S and CX are power usages ).
Some Weyland Yutani decals on side
And the name of the build LV-426 on the front side.( Alien fans will get the reference )

A few shots in different light ( limited by my phone camera in poor light - so use your imagination a little )
Thanks all.
