Update 2: 07/05/2020
Due to the corona virus it has limited on the amount of modding I can do. Due to having limited space in my house, I have no where to perform the modifications. This was originally going to be done at a friends house who has a workshop, Originally I didn't think the lockdown would last this long so I waited, however it looks like I am going to have to find the space.. I didn't want to leave you guys with nothing so here is what I have done so far.
1. I decided to build the parts in the case to see what the case is like etc. (without the watercooling). see image below.



2. Of course to get more performance out of the RX 5700 I flashed it with an RX 5700 XT Bios. This worked successfully and you get about a 7-10% fps increase.
If you guys would like to see benchmarks of the difference I will be happy to make a video!

3. After waiting, I have recieved a bunch of parts needed for the modifications, I just need to start the updating, Notes: It will include, sandpaper, paint, saw, 3D printer, Laser Cutter, and dog tags

Hello you wonderful people,

Im Hayden also known as TheMahano, Im from London, but moved to Manchester, Im 21 years old.  I have been a tech enthusiast for over 6-7 years now, I work as an IT Consultant, and a content creator on twitch/YouTube (somewhat). I built my first "Gaming Computer" back when I was like 14, I turned a generic desktop computer into a somewhat gaming computer, This is where I dabbled firstly in "case modding". The metal case I used half sized PCI slots, and the case wouldn't fit the 750ti I had, so I cut a hole in the side of the case and removed the side panel. This lasted a couple of years till I built a new PC!

I don't want to give away my idea just yet, and would hope the people interested will follow my build and find out, but im going to put more time and effort into this build than any other build I have done! I hope the name gives a slight clue. 

Thanks to all the sponsors and partners for the epic part list below (still waiting on the CPU and Ram).
ThermalTake View 51 Snow AMD Ryzen 7 3700x Thermaltake Toughram RGB 32GB 3000Mhz ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F Gaming ASUS Radeon RX 5700 500GB Seagate FireCuda 520 14TB Seagate IronWolf Pro 850W Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 Thermaltake Pacific Hard Tube Water Cooling Kit Thermaltake Pacific V-RX 5700 Series Plus GPU Waterblock Thermaltake Water Cooling Pacific Hard Tube Bending Kit 300mm Thermaltake TtMod Sleeved Cables 300mm Thermaltake TT Premium PCIe Extender

I would like to thank ThermalTake and all the Sponsors for giving me this opportunity and sending me the parts. I hope my build logs/vlogs will entertain you guys and help inspire more people to be creative and build some epic custom rigs. 

#Thermaltake, #ScanComputers #AMD #Asus #Seagate

I hope everyone stays safe and have a wonderful day!

So far I haven't done much due to COVID 19. I do not have enough space in my house to do what I need to do and planned to perform the build at a friends workstation. Introduction video coming out soon!

Hi All.
My name is Chris and I am from Scotland. I have been dabbling with tech ever since I got my Commodore 64 back in the '80s, but did not get my first 'proper' PC until I threw together a bunch of other peoples' leftover parts. Oh yes, my Pentium II @ 400Mhz with a Riva TNT2 PCI card was quite the beast; or maybe not 😢.
I served in the military for a total of 8 years, then briefly worked in I.T. before starting a career within the Civil Service. Tech and Gaming have both been passions of mine now for several decades, but it was only recently that I returned to higher education to pursue a tech-related degree. In my spare time I play my fair share of video games, but also enjoy the outdoors as much as I can.
I am very humbled to have been selected as one of the five contestants for the Thermaltake UK 2020 Case Mod Challenge, and hopefully my build progress can at least put a smile on your face during these difficult times. Speaking of progress, it will be a few weeks until I get started building I am afraid; as I am in the final weeks at University. But as soon as my online assessments and dissertation are out of the way, I will post regular updates.
The first shipment of components arrived just yesterday, consisting of:
ThermalTake View 51 Snow ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F Gaming ASUS Radeon RX 5700 500GB Seagate FireCuda 520 14TB Seagate IronWolf Pro 850W Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 Thermaltake Pacific Hard Tube Water Cooling Kit Thermaltake Pacific V-RX 5700 Series Plus GPU Waterblock Thermaltake Water Cooling Pacific Hard Tube Bending Kit 300mm Thermaltake TtMod Sleeved Cables 300mm Thermaltake TT Premium PCIe Extender
The crew at #scancomputers worked tirelessly to get these parts out to us, so huge thanks to them. I am blown away by #Seagate not only for providing the blistering fast PCIe 4.0 FireCuda, but the huge 14TB Ironwolf Pro; I wonder if it will be possible to install my entire Steam Library? 😏
There are more parts on the way from the fantastic folk at #Thermaltakeuk and #AMD, I will make sure to post pictures of them when they arrive.
As far as the design itself...
 
 
 
...that will also have to wait for another day.
Stay safe and take care everyone!
 
 

Hi I'm colin Mcnally from consett in durham. Iv been building gaming PC's for around 10 years when I started sim racing after moving from console's. The last 2 years iv started doing full custom water loops in mine and a few friends PC's. This will be my first themed build so I thought I would include my other hobbie/passion which is motorbikes. Project motogp will include moving parts and a motorbike stand.
I'll like to thank all the sponsors for all the hard work in these tough times for making this possible.
The first parts from scan arrived yesterday which include 
ThermalTake View 51 Snow ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F Gaming ASUS Radeon RX 5700 500GB Seagate FireCuda 520 14TB Seagate IronWolf Pro 850W Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 Thermaltake Pacific Hard Tube Water Cooling Kit Thermaltake Pacific V-RX 5700 Series Plus GPU Waterblock Thermaltake Water Cooling Pacific Hard Tube Bending Kit 300mm Thermaltake TtMod Sleeved Cables 300mm Thermaltake TT Premium PCIe Extender With more parts coming soon I'll be starting my build in the next few days and will post as much as I can.
Thanks again to

I'll also like to wish the other 4 competitors the best of luck stay safe and have fun building.
