Very cool man cant wait to see more!!

[Code Name: Clear Cut. Core v21 Mod]

well had to do emergency pump surgery/switch and put a d5 in to replace that lil alphacool pump. Didnt originally design the loop for a D5 so had to do some quick thinking but here is the test loop all closed up. Also want to give a huge shout out to a real great friend that sees potential in my work and has been kind enough to take me under his wing and teach me the ways of this great skill and art we call PC modding. Jesse of JPModified I owe you a debt I dont think I can ever repay. You are truly a huge inspiration to an aspiring modder like myself and I am so honored to have you as a teacher/mentor. With you and now a new relationship with Thermaltake there are no boundaries anymore and success lies in my hands and my hands only to take and run with. I truly hope I live up to the expectations you have for me. I have a passion for this that I havent had for anything in years and to get support from a world class modder like Jesse and a great company like Thermaltake is really a huge confidence booster. 

 

But enough of the sappy stuff lets get to the pc #### eh?

[Code Name: Clear Cut. Core v21 Mod]

So I have decided to scrap the back wall it has took too much time and materials to get how I want it to look. But got the false floors aligned very nicely and installed about to start planning loop

 

 

[Code Name: Clear Cut. Core v21 Mod]

So I really love this tubing and think it will accent the gpu and angle bar going into the build perfect. Have a bunch from my last project Code named: Grey Saber

 

 

THought I would post a couple pics of Grey saber. The pump inn this is actually a Thermaltake p500.

 

 

Now this front panel I made in memory of my late grandfather. The lil plaque thing is My grandfathers signature from a piece of art he left me.

back expansion slot cover

 

[Code Name: Clear Cut. Core v21 Mod]

Made a custom tinted acrylic motherboard cover. A lot of dremmel work and filing to get this to fit nice and snug and not interfere with any slots or headers on the board

 

 

 

 

[Code Name: Clear Cut. Core v21 Mod]

Havin so much fun with this build and this case is great to mod so many options

[MODWARS - Project "Battlefield 1" - By Oz Modz]

[Code Name: Clear Cut. Core v21 Mod]

Ok so managed to get all the side panels fitted and man was I nervous drilling so close to the edge, dont have enough acrylic to make another side panel if cracked lol. But everything worked out ok. Was sweatin bullets drilling the last hole on the last panel.

Hey There, Im fairly new to the Thermaltake forums, but I just picked up a core v21 mATX chassis and wish to share my project. 

 

I have done one other build in a core x71 case, But didnt do a whole lot to it as in modding. Ill post a link to the thread I posted here in the build section.

 

http://community.thermaltake.com/index.php?/topic/49519-thermaltake-core-x71-custom-watercooled-build/

 

Now inspiration for this build is a clear cube mixed with a snow globe, ya dont ask me how I came up with that lol. But this case is perfect for a cube build.

 

 

 

Now for specs, this is going to be an HDPC/Guest gaming pc.

 

CPU: Intel i5-6400

 

 

MOBO: MSI B150 Mortar Arctic

 

 

PSU: Rosewill Glacier 500w 80 Plus Bronze

 

 

GPU: Sapphire RX 470 Platinum 4gb (in the mail)

 

 

RAM: 16gb Crucial Ballistix SPort 2400 mhz DDR4

 

 

Storage: 240gb Adata SP550 SSD in the mail, HDD still deciding

 

 

Cooling: This will be a custom loop using copper nickle plated 12mm od tubing. Still shopping for fittings and gpu block. I have a pretty cool barrow block in the mail. As for the rad I have a 240 mm Darkside xflow rad debating on whether to add another. Fans will be using basic 7 fin Rosewill fans that I will be customizing to suit the build. Oh almost forgot I have the cutest lil alphacool pump.

 

 

 

 

 

and the star of the show

Case: Thermaltake v21 mATX chassis

 

 

 

Now Im in the very early stages of this build but here are some pics

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Should be back with more pics tomorrow night when parts dry.

 

Thanks for checking out the early stages of the build hope you check back for more of Code Name: Clear Cut!!

 

Special shout out to JP modified for his amazing builds and advise. I have recently been lucky enough to bend his ear on my recent project,  and he also has not hesitated to answer any questions I have about PC Modding.  

 

Cheers
