First up doing a quick dry fit to see if all the parts I want to use will fit. And it looks like they will. The 200mm Radiator however will need a bit of coaxing.
 

 
Ok so now that I know that the parts that I wan't to use will fit. Drilled out the rivets that hold the Mobo plate in place so I can mod it to fit the 200mm Radiator and to prep it for paint. 
 

Using a Right angle grinder with a cut off wheel to remove the small part support on the left so the Radiator will fit. Luckily the HDD drive cage will make up for the lack o support there.
 


After that was cut off we switch to a Flapper Wheel on the grinder to smooth out the edges.
 

 
Once that part was removed the 200mm Radiator will fit with enough room to do a push/pull fan setup


Oh man that is a super tight fit..Running that 24 pin is going to be fun 

Alright time to get this bad boy ready for paint.

When sanding your case for paint. There is no need to go all the way down to the metal just take the shine off. 

And there we have a white Core V1.

Now we need to get the Thermaltake Toughpower Gold 750W PSU headed in the right direction.





There we go much better.

Painted the SSD/HDD Caddy with Banner Red. 

Thermaltake was gracious enough to send me two of the 200mm Luna Red LED fans. Thanks guys

All the Hardware (minus the 160mm rad it is drying its paint)

Having a bit of fun with Tt Dude .





Going for a blood splatter effect I think it came out rather well.




check out the reflection off of the mirrored floor. 

With all the hardware crammed in there you can bet it was no easy task to get that hard-line in there.

After a successful leak test here we go.






Had to get the rigs all shined up for a Local Rock show. Had the Thermaltake Core V1 "Dexter" and Urban T-81 "Man of Steel" folks were really digging on the Core V1. Still need sleeve the cables and do some detail work on the inside to get it ready for HorrorCon 

Welcome to the System build thread! 
 
In the system builds section of the forum you can share photos of your rig, build logs or even come here to ask questions regarding system builds! 
 
Please take a minute to read the rules
 
Tt community forums are a place where people can interact and have discussions about several different topics. However, we ask that you follow these simple guidelines to ensure that the forums have some productive conversation. These rules and guidelines are enforced by administrators and moderators, and at their discretion, may delete posts without warning that do not comply. Also, failure to comply with these rules may result in a ban from the forums or the entire site!
 
- No "Flaming" -- writing hostile or insulting messages aimed at other users for their views, comments, status as a user on the site, or any other reason. You can disagree with someone's views and still be polite about it.
- No "Trolling" -- posting controversial (sometimes off-topic) messages with the intent of baiting other users to reply.
- No "Spamming" -- No advertisements, or referral links to other services. We also classify "spam" as short replies which do not contribute to a forum thread in a positive manner. Some forum threads expect short messages, but otherwise short messages are highly discouraged. Do not post for the sake of forum post count... your posts will be removed if we see you posting unhelpful or non-contributing messages.
- No "Necro" behavior -- posting replies on very old (dead) threads which have not been locked. We only allow "Necro" replies in VERY rare circumstances, all other cases will find your reply removed. If you feel strongly enough about posting a reply, please discuss with a Moderator whether to start a new thread of discussion.
- No discussions of software piracy, hacking, illegal material, or linking to these activities will be tolerated.
- Do not post material that is hateful or mean towards race, religion, ####, or any other offensive nature.
- Do not post offensive content, or links to offensive content. Keep everything Safe for Work, and remember that kids visit the web site.
- No excessive swearing or language. If you're that angry about something, take a break from the forums for a while, or confront the other user directly instead of in the forums. Also, do not attempt to use any means to bypass our profanity filter, such as misspelling a cuss word, or using punctuation or spaces. We are much more likely to ban users for this behavior than those who let the profanity filter replace cuss words with *'s instead. Still, excessive swearing can get you in trouble too, so keep it clean.
- No posting of any text which bypasses our profanity filters by purposely misspelling, using letter/symbol substitutions or any other means to bypass our censoring. You will only get one warning for this, then you will be banned from the site.
- Please do not "hijack" a forum thread by changing the subject. If you want to change the subject, please start a new message thread.
- Do not complain about getting banned, and do not make another account to circumvent a ban. Do not complain about other users being banned, in the forums or on profile pages of other users.
- Do not complain if a moderator removes a message you posted. We trust our moderators, and if they've removed a message, they had a good reason.
- Do not post any personal information about you or anyone else. We don't want to know your street address.
- Turn off your caps lock, do not use excessive ALL CAPS in your posts.
- Do not post messages containing images of typed text, especially in an alternate color. This confuses other members who may think you have some special authority, which is against our Terms and Conditions. It also defeats our search engine, which cannot read your message text.
 
Thank you for your cooperation and have fun
