Outside view of the case. You can see the Secure Lock on the HDD bay door.


Side panel opened. SATA Hot Swappable HDD Cage inside the case.


Glorious Xigmatek Fan, nothing sleeved yet.


Vented PCI Brackets for improved airflow, they are all powdercoated.


Damn Hand Crafted 5.25 bay area.


Side view of the case. Does it looks sweet?


PC-9 supports external liquid cooling system with 2 water tube holes but thats not our point LOL!


Black anodised thumbscrews will be added out there soon.


Another media for Vented PCI Brackets.


Back view of the case, I can bite it a little.

Powdercoating finished and I hope you enjoy the media.

As you may remember, I could not powdercoated the plastic parts because of heat problem. There are some dirty areas on the media, they are all temporary mess for case. I was hurried for media a little, sorry sorry about the fingerprints.

I'll change the original thumbscrews on the case with black ones. I also will paint the rivet backs (as black color) which looks dummy for everyone right now. By the way, my rivets are exhausted because of that I could not mount the anti-vibration grommets on case. I am not started to sleeve the fan and other cables yet. I may not have time for them for a while. Why Ferhan do not hear me LOL?

My radiator, reservoir and other Xigmatek fans stuff are on their ways. When they arrived to me, I'll start to mod my side and top panel with them. I also received my pump and its top recently, I just assembled them well today.

Any positive and negative feedbacks appreciated alot.

Stay Tuned!

Cheers,
Arthur

Nice photography!

The powder coating turned out real nice, makes me wish that I could have gotten mine powder coated but businesses in NYC overcharge for it Just curious, were the locks on the 5.25" bay plastic as well?

You should definitely buy a black 120mm fan grill, it would look sweet!

Thanks alot for kind words bro. Yes, they are plastic parts too. I could paint orange color them with spray paint but I did not do it yet. I see well what looks ugly that fan grill LOL. Actually, I am thinking what I can make custom fan grill with CNC after the new year.

Cheers,
Arthur

Just a word of advice if you paint the plastic pieces, use a primer, then put a base coat or two, then a matte finish sealer.

[Arthur]

Hey guys,

I am waiting for my radiator and reservoir in these days. And then I'll assemble them into my case. By the way, I am thinking what changing my currently PSU with Corsair TX750W, I suppose it can be enough to my currently WC rig. I also can sleeve it completely because I already ordered my sleeving pack from MDPC-X today.

What do you think about my PSU decision guys? I need some answers here.

Just a word of advice if you paint the plastic pieces, use a primer, then put a base coat or two, then a matte finish sealer.

Yes mate, you are absolutely right about the Primer. I'll consider your opinion in near future.

Thanks,
Arthur

Seasonic X Series?

[Arthur]

Seasonic X Series?

Thanks for suggestion my friend. Seasonic X Series did not come in my country yet because of that I cannot buy these products. I also have limited budget to change or upgrade my currently PSU. I choosing the non-modular PSU because they are cheap than modular PSUs in these days. One way or another, I'll be completely sleeved my PSU, with this way I can manage my wires a little easy. By the way, TH750W is agree with my project color schema, it has 5 year warranty and popular PSU in these days.

Thats my 2 cents.

Thanks again,
Arthur

[Arthur]

Thanks,
Arthur

Alright people,

Small update time. I took the Enermax Galaxy 1000w DXX from my friend, you do not ask how I took it LOL! I'll start to sleeve that monster at all but I really do not know where should I start to sleeve it? By the way, my items arrived from MDPC-X at least and I must tell something about them, they have quite awesome quality as always. I added some new feeds down here.

Any comment would be great.

[Arthur]

orange sleeving is awesome

Thanks bro.

I just tried my first Xigmatek fan with black sleeve and used black 3-pin MOLEX fan housings from MDPC-X. I suppose result is good and shots below;


Classic...


Its better than ever been!

[Arthur]

Last night, I started to sleeve my Enermax's 24pin, damn its really fat a$$ and that was serious time for me. Hopefully, I could only finished 12pin of it in this afternoon. I hope 24pin sleeving will be done until tomorrow.

Iill add some media about it tomorrow.

Stay Tuned!

Thanks,
Arthur

I thank you alot for your nice thoughts about this project.

Hey bro, I would like to give some small notes about the progress of this project here (I do not wanted to double post because of that).

As I mentioned before my previous posts, I ordered my sleeving items from MDPC-X recently and they had quite good quality. You can see the details below what I got from Nils;

Sleeve Small - Black: 20 meters
Sleeve Small - Orange: 20 meters
Sleeve SATA - Orange: 1 meters
Heatshrink Small - Black: 3 meters
Heatshrink SATA - Black: 1 meter

When I started to sleeve my bloody Enermax 1000w DXX, I was scared about my supplies. Because it has long 24pin, 2x6pin and 2x8pin cables with it (approx. 60cm each cables). Maybe I can give an order soon enough. Anyway, I started to sleeve it with 24pin cables firstly and I faced some problems related with crimping my molex. I had no tools for it and I had to wait for my tools.

I was thinking that crimping my molex will not be so hard for me but I took my crimping tool in my hands and started to bypass on them LOL! I crimped each molex approx. only 30seconds.

I also finished my 2x6pin sleeving before received my crimping tool. With this way, I could save some time about sleeving my PSU.

For now, only SATA power cables and 4pin molex cables left of it. I successfully sleeved other cables but my sleeving supply may not enough for them, I really dunno about that.

Because of that I cannot use my system in these days, I cannot upload any media for my currently status but I assure you I'll be finished my PSU sleeving work partly and I'll power up my system without WC components come alive. I'll add my WC stuff in last moments.

I really appreciate alot who subscribing my worklog and giving feedback to me down here.

Stay Tuned!

Thanks,
Arthur

[aka_GK]

stop teasing us, show something!

[Arthur]

stop teasing us, show something!

You have no patient my bro and here we goes...

Damn, I couldnt wait for a while. Here's the sleeving festival LOL! However, 4pin molex cables, SATA power cables and other extension cables are not done yet.

Please you do not hesitate to leave your comments here, they are important to me alot. I am waiting for comments.
