Nice job and excellent vid:)

Wow just wow, very well thought out, love the video....10/10
 
great built..very impressive..the groove details makes a realistic effect..i follow your work log and you took a long hard time building that case with all that custom parts and custom mechanism you did..but the result is fantastic!! I'm sure that case weighs heavy..how many tons weighs that thing?lol...10/10 from me for the hard haaaaard work and terrific built!
 
Not to my taste but looks outstanding technically.
 
Love Pyramids; Specially yours (I'm Egyptian), 10/10 for the outstanding work, build quality, Lighting everything looks Awesome nice job. but where is the Keyboard and mouse? and do they match the Awesomeness?

Tnx mhikevin, It's not that heavy as it's a mini PC. I think about 5 kg.

Yeah the pyramids have always something mystic about them. I got a matching keyboard (build in mouse and bluetooth) and remote control for it (remember it's a HTPC so in normal circumstances i only need the remote).

Keyboard and mouse
Remote
 
This is sick!!! in the good way, i am out of words. 10 from me
 
Everybody you have to watch Gup video, Gup you are more then a sick bad-ass model builder, Amazing Build I keep replaying your vid, Smooth
 
impressive work! havent had the chance to check the video, but the pics show that you 've done fantastic work! respect!
 
tbh, I never was a fan of these Pyramid cases.. but yours really altered my perspective. Really creative and flawlessly pulled off.

Worthy of a nobel prize. every inch of it.

yea,i agree..wit all the hard work and long time building this case,it should be rewarded..i've seen and followed his work log,trial and error at first..remarkable built at the end..i like what he did with all the customized remote hydraulics..and the customized lcd's pcb..brilliant idea..very,very impressive..before i work with my architect cousin..and built a miniature of an hospital here in our city,and taking a long time to built,that's why i understand it's very difficult to build miniatures..specially if mechanisms are applied..overall this case is a head turner..

TNX! I think this is mostly due to the way it's build : Layers.
Through the use of the layers u get much more a depth effect than when u would use straight panels.

Specs are never high for a HTPC. Realize that it's major purpose is Home Theather stuff. (vids,music,online vids/trailers etc). For a HTPC it's even overkill.
 
The amount of work you put into this mod is amazing! I am very impressed and I think it's up there with the top greatest mods of TPU. 10/10 EPIC!!!!!
 
Nicely done.

Any one can put massive stuff in a rectangular big box. It is quite a challenge trying to stuff things into a small space and still manage to keep it cool enough to perform normally as every day PC. Rectangular/box is boring.

TPU should separate this site into two, one with OC (manufactured case), and the other really is about case mod (build from anything else but a PC case).
 
ZOMG. I have never given out a 10/10 before but you sir are getting the first one. I am completely gobsmacked. Brilliant. And I don't really like Stargate!

If you are reading this thread people, watch the video. It is worth it.
