Project: UFO

[Vice]

Hello guys and gals.

I'm sure a lot of you, like myself, love the UFO cases, but just have not gotten around to buying one, or its too expensive. I found myself with this predicament as well. So I decided to build one !

I made my first case over the summer, shown here:

While its not great, it opened me up to the world of modding.

I'm planning on replacing my current loop, minus my gpu block. Here's a list of the hardware I'm going to pick up.

I started construction today, so here are some pics so far.

.125=3.175mm- thick

Same with the alu sheet




looks good!

Temporary screws to hold everything in place before I get shorter ones. Wing nuts don't hold everything together tight enough, so I'll those will just some regular nuts. The new bolts will also be countersunk, with the nuts on the inside, for a more cosmetically pleasing look.



Here's some accessory pics:








Here's just a basic overview of what the inside will look like, minus the outside plexi, radiator, fan grills, psu... etc. Just an idea.
