great piece of work!!!!

i am stunned!!!!i think you spent hours to make this beast.especially the box.quite practical despite the big size of it.but i really think you should post some fotos that show it's size.because of it's size and your creation,detailed fotos are very important for someone to understand exactly what you've made.that wa the only thing i thought before i vote for 10.so you'll have to post some more photos or else...

Your carpenter has really seen a way to make some more there lol
Yeah I think I may have a play around myself, you've inspired me. Nevertheless you deserve the 10 I gave you. Excellent work.

for sure! I 'll just have to either build the next one myself or find some other guy to help me....

Anyway, glad to have inspired you! honoured!
let me know if you need any help...

I will post more pics as soon as I put them in order!

but, for starters... have a look at this! Compared to an Armor+ full tower.....well,
Yeah your case makes it look like a micro tower...:twitch: It's almost the size of a Mountain Mods Ascension case. I am sure your not complaining about not having enough room! :laugh:

yeah, but how does it handle all those fans and OCing?

about fans all I can say is that at low-mid setting is audible, but not annoying... at high setting... well at first you think is going to take off, and when you get used to it you are ready to start benching.... ;)

As for OCing... small taste...

A piece of true art! "Nobel prize" for sure! 10/10.
I have never seen such perfectly "diy" case, and I swear.. if you didn't write that you had made it I would have thought it was something anyone could buy (would be expensive..).

Wish I had your skills. Truly amazing..


EDIT: Forgot to ask, but say if someone would pay you to build a case (not exactly the same) but "unique", and you were given free hands (style it the way you would like it)..would you do it?

thank guys.... your kind comments make it all worth while! Thanks again!

That was the original plan... build a case that looks profesionally made, but at the same time, Unique!

The cost rounded up to about 300euros for the case, only!

The total cost of the PC is about.... all my money! lol

It would be really nice to see if there is a diff in the temps of the cards. (lol, just like the air coolers)
