The Tower 500 has arrived together with all of our Thermaltake Parts!
Huge thanks to Thermaltake for providing all these parts.

We will take a closer look each of the parts that we will be using on this CaseMOD in the following days. 

you too man ! I shall continue once I start feeling better.

Take care man. I've got a horrid cough from all the plaster dust in my house. Not nice.

Down with Bronchitis , need to take a brake for 4-5 Days. 🤒

now getting to the structural supports, getting it into shape
  
 
some Grey Putti to shape the edges 🧱
. 
 
meanwhile till the putty dries we can focus on the upper structure .

some more support  😄

putty is dried for the bottom part. 

sanding in progress. 🗯️

 
same treatment to the upper part as well. 



coming out nice.

Great work 😃

Now the modding begins! 
I started by cutting manually the case to remove the front area. 
I want to have a semi-open type of case. I also want to expose as much as possible the parts so that It can be distinguished as a computer. 







I used aluminum angle bars as support of the case. I used rivets to secure it together with the case.
Next is the base, I decided to use wood because it is light and can hold the weight of my casemod.
I cut two pieces using jigsaw and combine them to make a platform using wood glue and securing it with wood screws.















 
 
 

The case is mounted on the base platform using 8 wood screws. This will be enough to hold the case.
 

 
Next are the brackets and mounting for the pump, radiator and fans.
 I also made a custom bracket for the GPU using aluminum angle bars and flat bars





I made a custom mounting for the top fan bracket and relocated it to the back part of the case.
I used additional aluminum bar to support the bottom mounting. 








Thee D5 pump brackets are also made from aluminum flat bars.





The custom brackets are riveted to the case.




 
 
I also made a passthough system for watercooling. The plan is to have tubes around the case to showcase and expose Thermaltake's watercooling parts.
I used acrylic sheet to have a cover of the passthrough fittings to hold on to. This part will be very vital in our casemod because this will enhance the theme that I want to achieve. 












 
 
 
 
 
 

Wow, this is looking amazing!

that is very artistic. is that air dry clay? very popular nowadays and easy to work with. looking forward to the finished mod! 

I'm making a little world inside a computer. 

Have a great Chuseok holiday!
Chuseok is the same as Thanksgiving day in America and it's also called Hangawi. 

멋지네요! 우승을 기원합니다!!

I will mod the inside of the computer. Please watch how I change the inside of the PC case.
