Performed Mods:
Customized the side panel so that it swings out instead of sliding off. Installed a 240 rad on the bottom of the case, in front of the psu. installed 2 120mm intake fans on the roof. Made and installed a floor and separator to separate the drive bays and mobo area. Glod leaf, red powder coated exterior, black powder coated interior. Polished aluminum accents. Yellow heat shrink covering the tubing to mimic large dia supply hose. Custom painted and polished gpu heat sinks. Added a front door on the drive bays, that swings out for accessable power button and light switches.
This computer case is a tribute to all the fire fighters in the world. Having small things such as the water cooling tubing mimicing large diameter hose, to the overall exterior looking like a fire engine. These subtle themed mods make it a sleek but not overly themed case.
