Looks great Roey.

A few questions though;

1. Why didn't you get a Blu-Ray drive?
2. Which Silverstone case is that?
3. How much is this project going to cost you?

Hi icey,

1. I don't need a blu-ray drive. I don't like to say much more but hopefully you can see where I'm coming from.

2. It's a Silverstone TJ07 with window panel.

3. Total price will be around £2600...ouch! Will be spending around £400 - £450 on WC.

Where did you get the internals of your case powder coated? I'd be interested to know in case I decide to do the same in the future, unless telling me breaks any forum rules!

I can tell you but you'll have to give me your email address so we're not breaking forum rules like you stated.

That matt black finish is truly stunning

I was going to get mine powder coated but, i am probably going to have to go ghetto on it.

Looks great, and the black goes really well. Will keep a eye on this thread.

btw, it's all about fatboy barbs with 7/16 tubing

A build of this quality really needs an aftermarket cooler, nice so far though and good to see updates atlast!

Complete - Air

I've just quickly taken some photos, whilst the wife was nagging, so they're not great! I still need to sleeve ALL cables and then water cool. Once I've sleeved the cables the majority of them will be routed under the motherboard tray.

I'll provide an update soon with more info on what I intend to do with the water cooling scenario. Enjoy...

very good with the mobo tray holes, were they dremelled?

Blackhawk47 · 18 Apr 2009 at 16:40

Looks very nice, watercooling will looks great with that black interior. I wander how cable management would be when you have finished...

The atx24 and the cut in the parition shelf was done with a dremel. I also used a hole cutter, which is a small blade that is attached to a drill piece.

Perfect.
