The amazing workbench where all the cutting was done.


Sides cut and sprayed. Case ready to be sprayed.


My stack of fans.


My desk, a total mess!


Compressed air to clean the components.


LUNCH!









And so it begins...


Some areas I didn't waste paint on as they wont be visible in the end.












Fans installed.




Makeshift front intake 80mm fan holder mod. LOL.


Clasps back in the case.


Installing hardware.


PSU kills the mod, i was weary about spraying it... I'll buy a new black one somtime in the near future.


Very happy with the cables


Beautiful sight, lol.


Desk tidied and case on desk.


Perspex will be installed tomorrow when i get my double sided tape!
