Hi guys!
Time for another update!
It seems like the MSI dragon has gotten out of his cage and into the build as I'm doing some test fitting with the Thermaltake Pacific RL360 Rad.
The build looks like it will have a custom loop going in after all starting with this awesome and rather large rad compared to this case, already powdercoated in white by Thermaltake.
Once the test fitment is done, out with the dremel rotary, jig saw and scroll saw on this case before doing the paint job
Thanks for checking it out!
Stay tuned for more!
Cheers,
Alex

Sweet case so far! I love the hex style grill over the rad too.

Yea the case is pretty good for the price. I think it is around $70 or so. The front panel will be cut out and I will be adding my own panel to that, should turn out pretty good

I want to show you some more goodies. Awesome Thermaltake Riing fans with white LED and Thermaltake Thoughpower 550W PSU which will be more than enough for this build as well as the the G.Skill Ripsaws V DDR4 memory.

Hi guys,
All the rough cuts have been made on the case and it's pretty much all torn apart. It's now time to start working with some aluminum panels
First up I shortened the I/O bracket and also the motherboard tray
I completely removed the back as best as I could leaving just the PSU mount
Also there is a massive hole in the top as well with some simple mounting left
Made a cut out to clean up the front as well to better accommodate the front 360mm radiator
Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more over the coming days which might answer some questions as to where I'm taking this mod by removing so much of the original case

Innovation at its finest! I can't wait to see where you're headed with this one, not to mention all the clean tubing runs at the end.

The motherboard tray is now mounted in it's new location.
What I am doing is mounting the I/O to the top of the case to change things around a bit
Here is the tray with the aluminum panel I made
The 90 degree aluminum corner bar is mounted there for a shroud to mount to once the motherboard tray is in the case. I will showcase this once done
Also here is how I am mounting the motherboard tray panel to the top of the case. Using these brackets and other 90 degree aluminum corner bars and leaving a small compartment in the top for cables to connect with ease.
Hope you guys like the progress so far and stay tuned for more
Cheers,

I am definitely watching this one, it has a lot of design metalworking that I will eventually be doing to mine.
