Looks awesome so far 👌

While waiting for the car putty to dry, I removed the case, leaving only the actual structure. and began to cut it out as designed.
 

 

 

 

The first thing I did was structure. I took the designed files to the factory. And use laser cut the extra parts . Weld them together with Argon Welding Machine. 
 

 

 
After that, welds are placed where they must be seen with the vehicle putty.
 

 

 

Inspiration

It's story of "David Martinez" a boy from Night City in the Cyberpunk. He was a member of the Ederunners Crew.
 who became a legend of Night City in 2076 at only 18 years old.
 
In Night City, people will remember you not how you live but how do you die.
On the path of a promise to take the girl he loves to the moon. There are many painful stories. He gradually transforming his body into a mechanical. He sacrificed everything for her, but all she wanted was him. 
 
I already know how the story will end. But it didn't hurt any less. There was a lot of emotion in the ending. As I felt the warmth of love, I was stabbed in the heart with a knife at the same time. So I thought of passing on his dream in my work. to make me feel better from the end of the story.
Concept and design 

Project name : The Moon
I'll take my brain off and dive into the imagination. I'll throw "The Tower 500" into the Cyberpunk world. If real life comes from Thermaltake. In concept it should be from Arasaka. Both companies feel the same. In terms of technology and performance. And Arasaka also has an Asian CEO.
 

 
I added the stabilizer to the back. To make the overall look like a Air Space Center. It represents a promise. 
 

 
White  - comes from a space rocket. And I still think of the white pigeon. Freedom from Night City was something his lover had always wanted.
Red     - comes from the lip color of a smile and eye shadow under the eyes of Lucy. In fact, it conveys love. I've been exaggerating. 🤣
 

 
I would like it to have movement. I want the hardware area to slowly spin all the time. like a product launch pad for luxury And every piece of hardware will take turns to show coolness. The poles on both sides are light boxes. to make the central part stand out
 
This part is the hardest. I'm going to move the original panel to the front base. It must be connected and working fine with the rotating top

I took the part cut out and put it to test to check that the size, spacing and holes match the parts that I made new.
 

 

 

 
Because I cut off the 4 corners which are the load-bearing points and moved the point to the middle. So I must put the new part where the hardware is placed to check the balance of the new weight distribution. and test the operation of the bearings. Lucky !! It'a work fine. 😙
 

 

Bending of the PETG Tubes





The PETG Tubes are sanded to have a satin/matte look. 










 
 
The CaseMOD is pressure tested using Thermaltake Pacific Leak Tester 
 https://www.thermaltake.com/thermaltake-pacific-leak-tester.html
 


 

The RAM that I'll be using in this CaseMOD will be ThermaltakeT oughram XG RGB. 
Learn more about the RAM here: https://www.thermaltake.com/toughram-xg-rgb-memory-ddr4-3600mhz-16gb-8gb-x2.html



 
 
The i9 12900k on this project will be cooled under this magnificent Thermaltake Pacific MX2 waterblock!
Learn more about the waterblock here https://www.thermaltake.com/pacific-mx2-ultra-cpu-waterblock.html

 
The waterblock is installed to the ASRock Z690 STEEL LEGEND WiFi 6E
 

The layout of the main parts of this CaseMOD is finished. 
I will be installing the Thermaltake V-Tubler 16mm PETG Tubes around the CaseMOD. 
I want the CaseMOD to expose all the sponsored parts as well as showcasing the watercooling parts around the CaseMOD. 

Here's the current state of the CaseMOD:
Custom front radiator mount Custom rear radiator mount custom gpu bracket custom pump brackets
  The Plan is to maintain The Tower 500's form/layout so that It can be still recognized from the original case design. 
The Motherboard, GPU, Powersupply and etc  (Main parts) will be using the case itself and not other materials. 

I'll be using Thermaltake SWAFAN 12 RGB for my radiators. 
Check out the fans here: https://www.thermaltake.com/swafan-12-rgb-radiator-fan-3-fan-pack.html

 
The Pump-reservoir I'll be using are Thermaltake Pacific PR32-D5 Plus Pump.
Learn more about the Pump res here: 
https://www.thermaltake.com/pacific-pr32-d5-plus.html
 



We will be using dual 240 radiators Thermaltake Pacific CLD240, one on the front and on on the rear.
