Hell Raiser

Hello everybody! so I started this mod a few weeks ago but have been busy so haven't got any pics uploaded yet. The case will be the Cooler Master CSX Stacker Hell Raiser edition painted by Smooth Creations. I will be doing some mods to the inside of the case to house a 480 rad and a 240 rad. I will also be doing a few other things that I'll show later. So far the parts are as follows:

CM Stacker
Asus Maximus V Formula
Asus AMD Radeon 7970
Intel i7 3770K
Adata SP900 128gb SSD's in Raid 0
Adata XPG 2133mhz 32gb
Cooler Master Hybrid 1300watt
Lepa 120mm Chopper fans
E22 Res and fittings
And a bunch of EK stuff

Some sponsors were kind enough to join in:





not using the Avexir ram after all.

















Thats it for now I'll post some pics morrow....

Ok so how about some more pics! First on the agenda was the floor. Need to make room for 480mm rad....











More to come since this pc is almost done. Just didn't have time to post pics. So bare with all the pics and quick updates.

Ok so some over due pics coming your way!! EK was kind enough to send some stuff for this build here's some pics....




LOL



Board before blocks




Motherboard blocks installed





On with some of the modding. Here's a couple pics of some of the mods I did to add better cable management since this case was seriously lacking in that department. First off I finished up the front piece and re-did the fan shroud for the floor.







And I added a little notch here on the shroud for the slide in mobo tray. U can also see where I marked the mobo tray for cutting.




Here I'm adding a cover for the 5.25 bays. You'll see more in later pics.



This shows a little of the reason why. I cut away all the bay mounts on the front side.



Here I am gonna add a plate to hold the E22 res and also use for routing wires.





Tapped some holes to hold the res bracket.



better look at the plate for the 5.25. Still needs a few holes.



Wire management holes on back of the 5.25 since there is no room behind mobo or anywhere else.



Just for kicks I added a 5.25 on the mobo tray for my CM Hybrid controller.





Last but not least all the parts ready for powder coating. Also in this pic u may get an idea what will be on that plate that covers all the holes on the 5.25 bays.



Thanks for looking. I'll be back soon with more. Until then.....

O BTW here's a couple videos of the build.

Awesome build. I love the CM Stacker. I have my Stacker 830 on my desk right now.

Same. I still think it's one of the best cases ever produced, even if it is lacking some of the more modern amenities.

Great to see a new project with such a..."classic" case

Whoa! I have one of those cases. And I've been thinking of modding it... Now I have no choice.
