Well after a 2 1/2 month delay (due to work), The Black Dragon is almost complete. The case is complete so all I need to due is install all the components. Here are a few picture to show you what I've done so far.

thats really nice!!!! but let me tell you a secret to making it even better! take that heatercore and turn it upside down! have the hoses the same, but youll have to change lengths, but its tons better! i like mine that way..

Hey Masked Geek what does turning it over do for you? Wouldn't you have trapped air in it. Does it improve cooling?

Is that entire case acrylic? How much did the materials cost and who designed that wicked looking dragon? The sweetest case I've seen thus far!!!

The case is all plexiglass. I get my plexi locally and it cost about $32 for a 2"x4"x1/4" sheet. It took two of these sheets. One black and one clear. The dragon decals I found at www.vinzdecals.com under the fantasy section.
