Good to see you all again!

We have begun our next mod!!!!! Are you as excited as I am? Let me know what you think and drop me a response below.

BACKGROUND

As someone who loves computer modding, I actually enjoy working on cars as well. My current project vehicle is a 2000 Honda Prelude.




So naturally when I saw that Thermaltake’s new Commander 34 case looks like the honda emblem, I knew what I had to do. I’m here to present to you our latest sponsored build, “Prelude PC”






BUILD PLAN

In regards to modding the case itself, we won’t be doing too much other than making the cooling components work. However with some creative 3D printing, vinyl work and paint. We plan on dropping a system into the case that will be recognizable to any Honda enthusiast.

3D Prints
H22A Engine
Turbo Pump Cover
Honda Emblem
Prelude badge
Oil Catch Can

PARTS ARRIVING!!

Unboxing video of some of our sponsored parts! 2 separate builds in this unboxing….

That’s our plan! I hope I have hyped you up for this mod!

Love me some 'ludes and the H22!

Looking forward to the build! THanks for sharing!

This could be interesting.

Thanks Man! Loving this opportunity to bring my two worlds crashing together! So awesome. Welcome aboard.

This could be interesting.

Not quite as interesting as your projects Blaylock, but I will certainly try

Honda fam here. 2008 (mine, coupe) and 2018 (mother in law, 4d) accords and 2016 (wifey) CR-V. Looking forward to this one!

I'm subbed. I am so so so soooo subbed.

If you were about one generation prior I'd tell you some stories about beer, a misspent youth, and a Benigan's Pub in the Broward Mall. LOL

Lol my friend, I can't do 1 gen prior... but how about 3? Here's a 2nd gen that I'm in the process of buying so my daughter can fix it up with me and have a car to drive in 3 years when she turns 16.

 

[Alaric]

I was actually referring to ED being one gen prior, LOL. I think your project car is one of the better looking Prelude models.

only if its k24 swapped...

LOL, I didn't miss a thing on that front due to my age...

only if its k24 swapped...

The RSX can keep its motor...

Haha gotcha! Speaking of which, I'm spending my birthday today under the hood of the prelude and doing a computer mod

only if its k24 swapped...

Meh lol Never been a fan of the k series regardless of performance in the 5th gen. If I do any different motor, I'll just upgrade to the H23A

LOL, I didn't miss a thing on that front due to my age...

Watch out ED's a wild man And I agree!

 

[Mandrake4565]

ED where these 'ludes you mention?

Happy Birthday!
And hanging out with old guys does have its advantages. At least they get my jokes. Mostly.

What is up my friends and fellow PC gurus!

Just wanted to take a post to give a huge thanks to our sponsors!


First off, we have Thermaltake who has been gracious enough to send not only the Commander 34 case, but all the watercooling gear we need and the power to make it all work.





Moving on, we come to EVGA. They were kind enough to send over a EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 to go with our EVGA FTW Z390 board.





Third, we come to our partners over at ModMyMods! They are sending us a Alphacool block for the 1070 and some misc modding materials and cables.





And last but certainly not least, we are proud to announce that ArtMods will be providing the cruicial 3D printed parts to make this build a reality! Am super excited as he is an incredible fabricator and can paint realistic designs on almost anything!




In other news, below are two video links. The first is our hardware reveal for the mod and the second is our case review on the Commander C34 case! Don’t forget to sub to the channel to not miss out on the other reviews coming soon.

Goood afternoon my fellow PC nuts and Luder lovers!

First, let’s get some love for a bath for #AcidDragon as she sits in the driveway






Now that we know what we are working towards….. Let’s start changing this Thermaltake Commander C34 case!

First let’s get this front panel off by using a gentle prying motion with a flat screwdriver to release the 4 clips





Those 200mm of RGB goodness (Thermaltake included front intake fans)



Now we can get the grills removed and get them painted green to match the grill on #AcidDragon



A tip for painting outside, cover with a clear tub/container to prevent dust, leaves, bugs and anything else floating around while the paint dries



Always several super light coats for the win!





While I waited for the paint to cure, I began unboxing hardware and getting it installed to test fit and prep the system to plan out our loop and placement of the “turbo” pump.

Starting with this sexy EVGA Z390 FTW motherboard…and fitting the Thermaltake Pacific CPU cooler to it







Next up our 120GB TeamGroup SSD!





Finally, let’s install this Thermaltake ToughPower 850W PSU! A bit overpowered for this build’s purpose…. But so is the watercooling haha





The paint hasn’t fully cured, but now is dry and can be installed back in place! The case is looking sexy so far!





Hopefully I will have time to get some more work this Friday and have another update for you next week!!!

Stay classy fellow modders and friends!!!

 

[Blaylock]

I love that green with that case. Very nice.

Thanks Blay!

It'll be green to match the Prelude.... until I get to the point of painting it teal like the concept. At that point, I'll tear it down and give the pieces to the painter to paint with the car lol

Hey all!

I had a couple minutes last night so I took a picture of the car’s bumper and recreated the lettering. Now the design is really coming together!!!
