used to build computers in the 90s but then work got in the way so from the early 2000s til just recently I bought off the shelf units for productivity work and some light gaming.
When my most recent HP AOI died and I bought a simple economy gaming computer to replace it but I had to migrate the guts over to a slim line mid case which meant I had to do some research and I discovered a whole new world of case modding, which reignited my desire to build.
After looking at builds all over the net I decided I wanted to do something different.
A lot of builds concentrate on the cooling system or some extravagant themed case.
I wanted to showcase the actual hardware and I wanted to do it in a balanced minimalist way with the MB and GPU on the front and the power supply and liquid cooling system on the back
I started with a Thermaltake Core P3 Chassis
To make this work I had to rotate the chassis 90 degrees and use the back as the front which required a lot of internal and external modifications to the metal chassis

Final Assembly has begun

This included removing most of the original front panel, relocating all of the internal brackets and filling a lot of holes.
I also had to add the mounting holes for the MD stand offs and several pass through slots for the wiring.
The chassis mods are about 90% done and should be ready for paint by the middle of the week.
