I just need to do a few more tweeks to the chassis, maybe add more lighting inside? then I can re-assemble everything.

I just have to ask. How many man hours go into a project like this? I'd love to be able to do something like that, I would not even know where to start. My idea of a mod is cutting out a side and dropping a plexiglass window on it. Heck, that takes me hours....

Mnpctech

Depends on the complexity of the design Cliff. The recent PC for MSI was about 40 hrs, while detailed build for AMD was around 200 This one I'm not counting, since it's a gift.

I'd be happy to help you with advice off list with whatever you're trying to tackle

and here is the finished bezel.

Mnpctech

Here is where everything is at currently. I still need to finish the diamond plate badge on top...

Your quality work is the reason I sometimes consider stop doing modding and just "buy a dell" like the wife wants me to do! But then again just to keep pi##ing her off I'll dabble!

Mnpctech

Dell?! Noooo! You must Never stop Jedi!

Mnpctech

I don't know what his specs are yet, but Asus ROG Rampage III MB would be nice, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131642

Man I want that mobo, but it is a pricey one.

Mnpctech

no doubt, and the EVGA x58 is equally as good, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188069

Yeah I had that saved in a rig I made up recently due to boredom at work. Everyone is on vacation, but I get paid to read articles and look at newegg, so i'm not complaining.

Nice!

The UT3 Badge for the top panel is finished. Center portion of the 1/8" thick Diamond plate was cnc milled. Imho, this is one of the most bad ass custom case badges I've seen to date.. haha

Snarkasm

Crazy. Nice work, man. Your giftee is going to be thrilled.

jedihobbit

Is there going to be any paint "fill" or are you leaving it "natural"?

Mnpctech

Hmmm.. a couple of blood finger prints perhaps? ..and Thanks again guys!

Mnpctech

Finished off a great build with a wee bit of a sales pitch!!

As usual one fine and impressive demonstration of your modding skills.........

Mnpctech

Thank you for watching and commenting throughout the build jedi! Now it's time to package it up safely and send it off to him. I'm anxious to see it up and running!
