What is going on guys! Erik Bmods here, super hyped to be representing Canada in this amazing contest Thermaltake has put on. 

 

A lil info on my modding background. I started out building cuustom watercooled PC's in 2015 and slowly started doing more and more case modding. I have been fortunate enough to build some great relationships with many of the well known brands, which I have done mods with at such events such as CES and Computex. 

 

I want to wish the rest of the modders Thermaltake has invited the best of luck and I'm super honored to be competing against such a talented group.

 

More info on my project to come, till then here are a couple pics of previous mods I have built with Thermaltake.

 

Finally I want to thank all the sponsors, Thermaltake, AMD, ZOTAC, Plextor and Asrock.

Thanks everybody! Well I feel like I can start posting some pics of the design I am working on. I would say that I am about %90 finished and can start building next week. Also just received what I think is the final box from Thermaltake so ya......Time to get building!

 

I will explain more about the project when the design is completely finished. Just wanted to do a quick update.

Woah cool bro m all fired up for this. Are you gonna make it move up n down?

So I think I have received all the hardware for the contest and it is a wall of gaming bliss lol. Thanks to AMD, Zotac, Asrock, Plextor and last but certainly not least Thermaltake for supporting us modders with these lovely goodies.

So I decided to unbox the Thermaltake Core P5 TG v2 today. I put it together for some pics before choppin it up. The core P5 is a classic for sure.

So I decided to let my girlfriend build her first rig so we could test the components for the project and I'm happy to say everything works great. Nice lil build for my girls first time.....under my watchful eye of course lol. Now to strip it down and put everything back into their boxes until its time to install them on the contest mod.

Time to start modding. I start off by cutting 2 aluminum panels to the shape I need for the mobo tray.

 

 

[Erik Bmods 24]

Next step is to cut off the top piece of the core P5 so I can use it as the base for the top half of the mod. Also I need to cut out the panels from the P5 that are not needed.

After drilling the initial holes in the 2 aluminum panels for fastening, I sandwich the P5 between them leaving enough of a gap along the top edges for the next step....
