Project Hades is complete. Project Hades uses the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5 case. The whole case was disassembled and inverted to form an inverted mid ATX form factor. It was given a deep red paint job, chaos skull detailing and various mods. PC Hardware Case: Cooler Master...

To complete the ATX motherboard inversion for the Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5, the pieces were reassembled and secured by rivets. Holes where rivets had been drilled out were measured using digital calipers. Here are the rivets, in black, with various sizes to fit different thicknesses of...

I began work on the case modding. The first task was to invert the motherboard. Here's the case during stripping down, with most of the panels removed. Most of the removeable modules use these retained thumbscrews, which I find pretty useful for not losing the things. This is the fan...

I did a quick test build to make sure everything was working. Assembly was straightforward, although it took some clever positioning of the CPU cooler radiator and fans to not put strain on the tubing. The test build booted perfectly first time, and with no SSD connected, went straight into the...

I made some detailing for the window using vinyl. To fit with the Greek theme ('Psyche' was the Greek goddess of the soul), I chose a Greek pattern. Here's a sneak peak...

Been very busy today... filling the loop and taking lots of photos. I'll be posting the fill video and photos as soon as they're edited.

To fit better with the theme, I made some green and white vinyl stickers for the Riing fans. Leak testing!

Thanks dude. The PCIE cables were a real pain!

24 Thermaltake Riing 120 mm RGB fans fitted! Also got the top tubing runs sorted now I have the flow meters. Looking good in green...
