Performed Mods:
Geez where to begin....Lot's of hacking and cutting with a dremel, jigsaw, laser cutting. The entire case is powder coated in a gloss black. Sleeving. Wiring. Soldering. The rads are held in place by custom cut 6mm clear acrylic to allow the glow out the bottom and top (just need to take some lighting pics when everything is done).
I will update this with some better pics of some rather cool updates as this is a work in progress. Wait till you see the doors. There is no lighting pics at this time because it is not all done but trust me when I say it is as good as the case is clean. The case is even cleaner now and the tubes are actually now black Primochill LRT Pro of the same size. The clear stuff fogged up as usual and wanted to try something new. So yeah besides what the pics tell ya so far, this is actually a red and black theme. Wait till you see the San Ace fans going in the bottom rad. They are $50 a piece and will be using 4 of them. They are 6000 rpm, 260 CFM Monsters that chew up 4 amps and 50 watts a piece. Got a custom PWM controller being shipped from China that is 17amps and 200watts and is able to handle these four fans.

Took another picture tonight to show you. In the first pic it was not showing because it was hooked up outside the case. Here it is inside under the Alphacool LCD. Eventually they will all be replaced by SSD's. Waiting for their size to go up and their prices to come down!

firstly, welcome to TPU!

secondly, I must say this is the best used Xazer I have seen. respect!!!
Good idea to remove the hdd rack from behind the front fan. Also, I would love to see more pics and in various light conditions (lights off / on, side panel on, etc)

Superb work!

Thanks. I like it here very much and I think I will visit much more often then I do. I will be posting much more pictures after she is ummmm cleaned up a bit and by a professional photographer who is a friend of mine. When it comes to taking photos I think I am retarded or something. It's weird I know. I can build computers easily, I can build cars easily and I can go into a jungle with nothing but a paper clip and a paper bag and survive but yet somehow I cannot take a decent picture.

Thanks! ;)

Holy christ this is the busiest build I ever saw in my life! :O Very nice job on keeping together. This thing is a damn monster! I gave you a 10 because seriously that is an incredible amount of work that went into that. I could not post in your thread. Something about it being old so I will post it here in mine.

Will have much more this weekend. It's all on another computer that I have to backup and retrieve info off of. Plus I will be taking newer photos as well and putting those up as well as another video for YouTube in my attempt to make a hovercraft out of a rad. Stay tuned!
