Maybe this is just blasphemy - but what would you estimate the retail value / cost of this custom build would be, one price for the components and another for the elbow great / IP.
Stellar work!

Cheers and you know what, i really really don't know.
The components are pretty easy to put a price tag on as they are what they are but as for case modding like this its few and far between and i could probably count the names on two hands that get involved.
My good pal Bill Owen from mnpctech being one but i've not seen any other in XS doing anything similar so i'd have to say i have no clue tbh
That said there are still some really nice builds in XS
EDIT BTW, i don't profess to be in the league of Bill Owen in any way shape or form when it comes to true case mods, he is the only one i can liken my work too

The Background
Anyone that has followed the prod logs on various forums of both Tom (frozensnail) and myself may know that we were commissioned by Coolermaster (Hall 24 – Booth E39) to mod their new flagship chassis to further enhance their booth presence at CeBIT which proved to be a massive crowd favourite last year with the Cosmos so this year it’s the turn of the new ATCs 840
Basically we are left to our own devices to do as we please with the mods so this year Tom went for a gloss black and chrome, triple loop creation running Carbon CPU block which is a world first as far as we are aware and I went for bright red, black and chrome with my now seemingly characteristic side vents.
We do get access to early prototype chassis but it still doesn’t give us a whole lot of time to get these things complete and as usual it was a race to get finished with many delays and set backs along the way but we always seem to manage one way or the other.
I also have a previous Cosmos S Skulltrail system going out to CeBIT which will be on show on the Zotac booth (Hall 20 - Booth D12) so had to make sure that one was also up to scratch with a complete hose and liquid change along with a good old spit n’ polish.
6.30am Thursday 26 February
The journey begins, well for the cases anyway and as there isn’t a courier in the land I would trust these cases with, it comes down to me and Tom to make sure they arrive at CeBIT in one piece.
Thursday, I do the 540mile round trip to Toms leaving my cases with him and come Friday, Tom does leg two of the journey getting all three cases over to Coolermaster NL just mind as he slept in again and missed the ferry but I guess and returning home on Saturday for a quick wash and brush up ready for me to pick him up early Sunday morning so you could say its been quite a few days for the pair of us…….and that’s before we really start our main road trip.
