Performed mods
Scratch build desk, performed by me.
Painted fans, hdd rack, mb tray, all screwes used are painted aswell.
Lots of mdpc sleeving and replaced all the fan housing from white to black.
Made my own leds from scratch and also many fan extensions.
the housing got hidden led cable lightning around the whole casing.
The mb is taken from a Antec 1200 so i hade to cut that out from the steel casing.
Fan controller and led controller modded.
Lots of wood cutting, sanding and painting and also worked some with smoked acrylic for the fan intake grills and the led controll bracket.
It also have a massive watercooling.

Or the skill, time and money for it. 10/10
superb, incredible, 10/10!!!
Thanks for your great feadback people.
Those 6 SSD's are nicely organised
I have 6 HDD's crammed into my 2nd PC for storage. And they are a complete mess, I can't put the side on without jamming cables up against the side, (it makes the side bulge). You've got room to move however and made it look amazing
some cases have small hole on the back of motherboard tray so you can tie the cable and make it tight as possible so it wont bulge
This is very nice rig, i like the Tron style, and that thing that its
white and all the inside is black.. so it looks great and clean !
I can appreciate that its simply different rig, not just moded case !
in fact, i found some minor mistakes, the desk is too thick,
usually when the board is thicker than 15cm -then is sitting uncomfortable.
and you have it about 28cm thick. and the sitting space is also a little bit too narrow.
Now you can change your LCD somewhat, its so ordinary and boring there, in past
besign. better would be position on wall without stand or -like in Tron..
do you agree_?
But: the whole is really outstanding and i like it very much!
