Hey enthusiastic PC builders, I'm going to start a new casemod, this time a micro-ATX build in the Aerocool DS cube. It has to be an HTPC that can also be used as a LAN-box, so it has to be a freaking awesome case. Hardware : not known yet Cooling components: Not known yet Here are some pictures of the Aerocool DS Cube. Playing with some LED`s. See you soon
This week started making a midplate and some minor adjustments to the case itself : Pre-drill the holes and then cut out with the cutter. Mid plate fits perfectly :
I made a window in both side panels, here you can see the graphics card en later the cooling en hardware. Problem ?? Little space for power cables,s o I did a little adjustment. Did some wrapping on the midplate with some mat black.
I got the idea of making a pump with reservoir combo in the front of the case, so the round hole has already been made. Had two more pass through fittings spare, so I used them to make an easy connection through the midplate.
Hey, another update. This week I started with the front panel of the case. I used the Asus Mayan pattern for the front, later on there will be a lot of RGB led`s behind this panel and case parts.
I got a new tool for modding, bought this airbrush starter-pack with some paint to get started. For a first time I did a nice job I think, of course there are some points we can improve but we can work on that. These colors I`m going to use on the case. (red madder dark, black) First I used the color (red madder dark), then I used a airbrush and brush and added the color (black). And added a clear coating, for a first time I did a great job I think.
So I got two packages last week, one with all the hardware and one from Highflow.nl with all the cooling parts. So let`s get started with the inside. MB: Asus ROG Strix Z270G Gaming CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K GPU: Asus Strix GTX1070 O8G Gaming RAM: Avexir ROG Tesla Red 2666 MHz 16GB PSU: Corsair RM850I And of course ''CableMod'' For cooling I chose EKWB EK-FC1080 GTX Strix – Nickel with a shinny Nickel Backplate EK-Supremacy EVO – Nickel A group photo It`s time for some PETG bending
