Yo!

This is my first project log here, but i've been in modding long time.. It's allways been my passion.

Here are some pics of my last project ( https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9b3o00xpyiyu4g5/DIkTPJpj9I ) I had project log of it at finnish forum. But this project will be posted to several.

Project Black&Green

So, even before my last project i had dream about case which can take watercooling setup, but in small size and with black'n green colours.. So i dont even remember how many models i did with sketchup :D i ended up with this plan:

The dimensions are 350mm x 330mm x 160mm~ And the main material is Polycarbonate as well as some aluminium.


Components

No ITX, huh..? Well.. the width is same as mini-ITX, which is 170mm, it's just little bit longer, but that are will be covered by the GPU and its Block.

I will possibly get Gigabytes awesome Z77-ITX board, if i possibly get some more money, that would be perfect for this build.

The CPU is Core i5-3570K and ram sticks remains to be seen.

The GPU is made by palit, its GTX670 and i love it.. Since the size matters ;)

Others:

-The psu i use is Silverstones ST45SF-G, fully modular SFX-psu with GOLD-sertificate.. It's fan has been replaced with Noiseblocks model, couse of much better airflow/noise ratio.
-OCZ really trusty and such old.. Vortex plus

For watercooling:

-EK:s supreme LTX-Block for CPU, really nice block and i personally like the new look with the circles.

-EK:s DCP 2.2 Pump, which is nice and compact

-Noname 150mm Tube res.

-Alphacool HF-14 -Block for GPU, it suits better than fullcover in this build

-Alphacool 240-radiator

-Fittings will be 13/10 EK black coloures

-For fans, nanoxia (I love these fans, awesome color and quality)

-Tube will be UV-Green and it will travel only in straight lines ;)

Building the case itself

This is how it looks without anything attached or so..

The main material is polycarbonate, and it will be atteched from the corners with these:

And today, just before posting this log i've proceed.. So i have attached back- and sidepanel.

I use aluminium "profile" so the rivets are hiden in it, and outside rivets are sink in the panels, they will not be seen in the end.

New update.. I've attached front and top panels, the green frontpanel is the on in front of fan an the actual front panel as you see in the 3D-model.

So next on the list is making those fan holes and top hole for the custom "grille"
