I remember constantly bitching about alienware being overpriced. Seeing this reminded me of why i still want one xD
EDIT: I'd still never buy one, just checked, the option of adding a 1TB HDD would cost £160 on alienware, vs buying a 2tb seagate for £67 from ebuyer...

The thing i really like about the case is that the HDD trays are made of metal and not cheap plastic,also the hotswap is pretty nice.

Update!!! To start with I have placed the EK bayres to see how it looks    Installing the pump onto the bayres   Small tutorial about this Installing pump/ Bayres tutorial    Time for the Nvidia GTX680    Also made a tut for placing the EK-FC680 onto the Nvidia GTX680 GPU/ Waterblock tutorial Don't wanna see the vid!!! Thank god we still have pictures Removed the plastic     Also removed the block   Dismantled the bracket   The EK block   First cleaning up the GPU  Placed pads and compound  Mounted the EK block  Also installed the EK-FC link       And backplate   Second GPU finished       Connected all together with the EK-FC Bridge Dual Serial    And offcourse....placed it right away      Made a minor adjustment into the CPU cooler. Placed LEDs for a nice effect, bright Alien eyes     I was still searching regards the radiator recesses on both sides. Here's the first idea. Playing with some mesh and air outlets     But no...didn't like this. So cut an aluminium strip, bended a lot of vents and assembled         Made it black    Next ..... The Nvidia Logo should come back. Therefore I made a little cover where the Nvidia logo is displayed.  Like this     Frosted the piece   Just to see how it will look I cut out the name by hand. This is NOT the final logo, soon there will be a better one (with Nvidia claw)  To give this a bright shine, I have used a piece of glowpad    Placed a small piece    For the cables, I cut out a recess   This will no longer be seen through the cover  And another recess for the remaining connections mobo  And a recess for the GPU power. Bottom PCI-e power is tight, but possible    And last... Busy again with acrylic tube   After some measuring, Made 2 holes for the fill ports       That's it for this weekend To be continued!

Update!!! It took a while but here is a new update of the Alienware Aurora. After some doubt what I would do, paint or powder coating I decided to do it myself. purchased a number of cans primer and Black. Put the primer on    Let it dry for a night and then applied several layers of black And again, hung to dry. Looks good i think     Internal also used some black for the heatsink and other small stuff ... still need to exchange the connectors   Always fun to play with Alien eyes  I also gave the midplate a black layer. This to get a illuminated green border using a CCFL. I first made the top white, after that a black layer  Placed the CCFL    Time to place the PCB for the lighting etc. For this I have cut a aluminum plate  Placed like this     After extending some cables    Power on for testing   And it's working again   Always good to know before the cable management begins      Searched and found my sleeve stuff again for sleeving the big bundle   I discovered that the pins of the big block are not so easily to remove. 've Tried al kind of tools, but it isnt possible without demolishing. I just miss the slots for the pin remover.  So change of plans ... going to use sleeved extenions now. Sorry no sleeve update this time I also did the lower back. Because I made the Aurora a bit higher, I also need to extend the back. For this cut, bent and drilled an aluminum plate  Cut and bent another aluminum plate   First plate mounted on the existing PSU cover  And made the other plate black and mounted it. Must still bend it a bit and still make some openings with mesh in it..I think, but this is how it fits.         Finally the choice of the fans for the rads. The Scythe SY1212SL12H ... pretty thin fans but very noisy. definitely need some adjusments     More coming up!!!

Update!!! The end is almost in sight. Recent weeks i've done a lot on the Alienware Aurora R4 Because the sleeving didnt go easy with the large connector I used extensions. It is certainly not MDPC sleeve, but it's not too bad Lower GPU power connected   And another   One more  And the last one   Some straightening and pulling  Looks nice  24 pins also some shapening    You've probably saw some pictures pass by with the the tubes, but here everything is connected. This time with 12/10mm tubing Finally I found them with the perfect size (thanks E22 Nate). Only thing to do is to file a little edge off the tubes just like the crystal links.     Was a lot of work, but here one pic of the other side finished lol  Time to fill her up and leak testing. Optical drive removed and fill the bayres.  After some noise...it became quit        And then it was dark ... Lights on please!!! Oww almost forgot, the midplate: I've got the whole plate illuminated using a green ccfl bar for one half. And the other half (left) I've used a glowpad. The PSU cage would otherwise cause a dark spot ... not now   And power on!!!. Because the side panel is off, 3 white LEDs are shining at the top, which shows the internal   Leds off  Default color is green, but all original color options are possible  Front is looking very nice  And lights back on. Some pictures with daylight and the panels installed                     Still some minor work to be done, such as the Nvidia GPU sticker on the cover, acrylic window and so on. Next time Cheers!

Wow, that's some impressive work there! The bottom half of the case(the part you made from scratch) looks like it came that way from the factory.
Definitely a big 10/10 from me so far!

Update!!! This is it ... he's finished. Last work is done and now only the final photo shoot. Then he (temporarily) returns to Alienware. For the demo room and events ... so maybe you'll see it again live somewhere Window was one of the last things that must be done, so I have adjusted the original cover a bit more unnecessary plastic removed   Cut a piece of acrylic.  And installed        The vinyl stickers were in and looks very nice. They gave my some more pieces to try it out. Letterop Advertising thank you very much for this.     Applied and tested the light       And the Alienware Aurora ALX-XL connected  Crysis 3 installed   Last update will be the final photo shoot and maybe a nice vid ... until then!
