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

got some shiny angled bar to cover gap from false floor and FINALLY happy with the rad plate
 

 
How it looks so far from top down.
 

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
 

 

 

 

back expansion slot cover
 

Looking great man!! Have the same case and its amazing for custom loops. 

The gpu showed up for the build and man is it pretty, so pretty that I will not be watercooling it anymore. Which I never thought I would say lol
 

 

 

Hey check out this rad plate I did
 

 
Hey check out this rad plate I just destroyed smh
 

Looks nice as

Psu done. Wish the camo was a lil darker
 

 

 

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.
 

 

 

 

 

 
False floor and project logo decal designed and cut
 

 

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.

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.

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.
