Project: MNU

Hey all,

This is a project I started in 2010... This case however, started as a simple case mod on an old ATX case. The project took a huge step forward just after I started it, when I got sponsorship for what was then a new player in the PC case market, Fractal Design. This meant I restarted the work but wanted to keep the same design elements a whole new and very different case!
I have based this project on the film ‘District 9’ namely the ‘Multi-National United Multi-Purpose Security Vehicle’ I am going to fast track you through the mod until now but before I do that I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to Fractal Design, EK, TM3 Connections, NZXT and MNPCTech for supporting this build!

Thanks a lot Miidget!

The package from EK is on its way from Slovenia now, so some pretty pictures to follow.

The project has also made its away 1000km to my flat in Glasgow from the parents house in Brussels - thanks dad!

So here is the project as it stands.

Thanks for watching! This mod will hopefully see the end soon

Hey all!

A quick supply drop

MNPCTech and EK!

Some 3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber Film and some bolts from MNPCTech

I am going to cover both my mouse and keyboard in the Di-Noc!

From EK a bunch of waterblocks and fittings. Will get more pictures from them when I can!

I am very happy to announce that I have another wonderful company that is was willing to help me out on this project!

Enermax have been kind enough to agree to supply me with all the fans I need for the project! So the PA120.3 is going to be in a push-pull configuration. Then to top it all off they are going to be supplying me with a Platimax 850W modular PSU, which I will be single sleeving each cable

The Platimax is completely modular including the Motherboard connector so single sleeving should be a BREEZE!

Until next time, MOD ON!

No doubt it will take quite a while to sleeve all of the cables!! won't want to see what your fingers will look like afterwards as well

Hey all,

I have finally escaped for uni work long enough to get some pictures for you

My kit from Enermax has arrived, well my next door neighbour took care of it without telling me about it!

A Platimax 850, and 9 T.B. Vegas fans

I have started the sleeving process as well, although my heat gun is bust so waiting for a new one! I will have another update this weekend! Promise!
