Media PC Case Mod is up & running

Lazyman suggested I use a glossy paint which led me to look for tutorials online. The tutorials I used for the mirror finish and the window install are from Monstermawd. I picked up a the black gear grill fm his site too. (mnpctech.com)

I had to cut off one corner of the fan in the window to make it fit on the case. It was bumping part of the CPU cooler. I almost gave up on it and left the stock cooler in the case. I'm sure glad It worked out.

The sleeving is another story. I had to experiment with getting the pins out and and getting the sleeving around the SATA pins which were about 3" apart on the same line.

When I first got it together I hid all of the cables I could and you couldn't see anything in the case with the UV lights on. I ended up redoing the cable management to make it more appealing to look at through the window.

I didn't say anything about the front bezel because I don't think I'm finished with that part yet. I'm trying to decide if I should replace the black mesh with an aluminum mesh to match the side grill and the 3.5" bay cover.

@svndgrs I was so disappointed about that part of this video and didn't want to reshoot it, so I tried to make a joke out of it. I wish I kept all of my bloopers so I could combine them and post it for fun. Thanks for watching.

how did you mod so that the hdd could fit at the bottom?

[honitsten]

@kiasu01 It isn't a mod there are hdd mounts on the bottom of the case. Thank you for watching :)

do you think this could fit 2 EVGA 9800 GTX+'s in SLI with a Micro-ATX EVGA SLI motherboard with modding? i know i would have to remove the bottom HDD bracket but i only need 1 HDD

[honitsten]

@TheRomanCandle790 Yes it will fit in there. I would mount the hard drive in one of the optical bays. I would do this to keep good air flow going to the cards. Good luck and thanks for watching.

just need to ask you this, but is this an AMD system in this system?

need to know bacause i gonne build an amd system and have the cpu fan point so the fan at the back take the varm air and take it out back

[Nizz969]

Amazing color scheme. Great choices!

[himynameisjameson]

dude what colour of light you have there?

[Damecos]

Fantastic job. I love it. :)

I sent you a private message. I only just noticed in the comments that you sold it to your uncle. I hope you consider modding and selling more, your work would be appreciated by many fellow enthusiasts.
