For those that were afraid to buy a MM case after that old thread came up with packing problems, i've to say, the packing was supreme! Lots of protection.

Any sugestions or tips or ideas are welcome, always!

Thanks

I'm sure you'll hear this alot (if you havn't already), but your fan grill looks like it says "BUZZY CASE MODDER".

Anyways, look forward to seeing what your final build looks like.

Actually, you are the first one to point that out... and looking at it, it does look like buzzy

lmao this lack of sleep really is killing me anyways it just needs a little outline around the end of the L and it should look like blizzy again

Was about to buy some p clips and when i went to checkout...

UPS - Worldwide Expedited - $95.38

facepalm

How can someone ask $95 shipping for 20 p clips ? o.O
Can't find these where i live, and i guess i'll have to find something else that works like a p clip :/

From where are you ordering?

Chilledpc-UK have bags of 10 in various sizes and their shipping is reasonable.

Cableorganizer.com have much better bulk pricing but their shipping cost is killer. Only go there if you also intend to order reels of sleeve + heatshrink.

That Pinnacle24 pretty much dwarfs my Pinnacle18 lol...how did you get the cutout on the motherboard tray? Was that DIY, custom order, or some option on the website that I missed?

That fangrill is pretty sick, too.

Was buying from WireCare

Checked cableorganizer and shipping is: $27
ChilledPC UK has some cheap shipping , only £9.46 (will buy from here, just looking for some more stuff)
Thanks

The P24 is a bit bigger then yours , but not that much x)

I was surprised to see the cutout on the motherboard tray, i guess they ship mobo trays like that now, at least i didn't ask for it and also didn't see any option on the website

Yeah, came out to cost me more then i tought it would...

Case was $380 + some stuff i bought = $410. $300 shipping, thats $710 total. Customs asked me to pay $460 and after some talking i got it as low as i could, and that was $395. Total: $1105

Not realy an update, just some pics... work is killing me, didn;t have much time to work on this

I love these cases. Can't wait for more updates in the not to distant future!

[shazza]

Looking Great, Blizzy. Love the custom fan grills. It seems to me, with the MM cases, you can either try to go stealth (or no) fan grills - or really do something that stands out. Your's is unique and hits the mark!

[zalbard]

Ooh, me likes! Keep us updated. Looking forward to more!.

[Kibbler]

Hey Blizzy fellow Pinnacle modder, any progress on this nice build? Looking forward to any updates you have.

Will get some updates asap

Hey Blizzy fellow Pinnacle modder, any progress on this nice build? Looking forward to any updates you have.

Hi Kibbler, haven't got any progress yet, i'll be going to Dallas this week, then Chicago and then Miami, will be back home on the 22th, then i'll get this build done asap

And i want more pictures from your project too!
Mine won't be half as good as yours, it came out so nicely

I got them from a guy from Chile, http://www.hardmodding.net/
I don't speak spanish, so i used google translator to order them


Hope EK doesn't mind me using this:






Project is been delayed because of customs once again...
International orders are just SLOWWWW u.u
Still waiting for some parts and the GTX 480

Not realy and updated, just mounted the res to the pump and first rad, and made a simple drain system





Its messy around here
