HAF XB mod Not yet named

PcJunkie209 · Nov 27, 2012

Hi everybody! I'm starting a mod for CM to have on display at CES next year or couple months actually. This is with their new lanbox the HAF XB. I'll update the hardware list once I have the specs. Here's some pics....

I was able to get Swiftech to sponsor this build. I'm pretty excited about that.

Here's some of the parts they sent....

Intel was kind enough to sponsor a board, cpu and SSD....

So right away I tore into the case, so no before pics. Sorry. Here's the plan all three panels will have windows. I'll be having the case either painted or powder coated Intel blue, white and black. On with some more pics....

Holes drilled for Rad on the floor and all my panels are cut...

Thats it for now stay tuned for next update. Until then..............

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to cut into one of these cases. Can't wait to see the progress. Looks good so far.

Thank you!

Here's some pics of the front. I'll be adding a window for the Intel 335 SSD ( which looks a little plain so I may have to give it a facelift!

) in the old hotswap and cutting away the plastic behind the front grill. I also got a package from PPCS they sponsored the EVGA waterblocks for me! They are the best!!! Here's some pics....

Here's all my parts from the HAF XB and Stryker headed for powder coating...

That's it for now. I'll have some more pics when the parts come back. Until then....

Awesome start, can't wait to see how it comes out, and it looks like you will have some company in the CoolerMaster display @ CES..
