Meet cat Jane, my helper. 

 
First box ! I love me some case labs stuff! Build quality is next to perfect and the over all look is a sight to be seen once it is all complete .
 

 

 
Ped X 2 to reach the sky 

 
 More parts starting to show up.
 

 German stuff FTW  Never have seen thies in a build , figured why not . they are nice to look at and do hold a function so I went for it. And Im sure glad I did
They are beautiful, and if you look, they kinda look like eyes. The main spot where it sucks in your dreams to stay fed.
 

 
 Thies filters are just beautiful!
I never thought I would cut in to my case. Well I though wrong..
 

 

 

 
Money shot . I will tell you I have never been so nervous in my life . this was a cut that had to be right on the money,
This part has been erased and no longer is around . 100mm top
 

 

 

 
The eyes are watching you ... Eating away at your dreams.

 
More German greatness !

 
 Soooo pretty . Love the glass encased by the black cell.

 

 
Humm .
 

 
 
I was waiting for months for the darn water block to come out from evga. I am still convinced they will never feature this build because I put the Asus logo on instead of there EK logo, Even though everyone konws they made the water block..

 
 Did some one say fans.

 
 
 

 
 
 Welp .. There goes a few months of money.. Bitspower for the win. I tried to go borrow fittings but the wait and the little variety made me spend the big bucks on bits .. NO Regrets
 

 

 


 
Believe it or not , I had to go and buy about 37 more fittings after I took this picture , I underestimated how many I was actually going to need.
 

 
 
 I Finally got the rads all painted and ready to go. 2 of them were special edition , but had some scratches , so I just painted them all. . Just letting the paint cure a little longer and ill start putting on fans and what not.

 
 Mocking up things While I wait for more dam fittings .. I will have 229 fittings in the case when all said and done .
 

 
Yea .... That was a night there. I almost gave in and went soft line tubing , but then something told me i wanted to get so mad I could punch betty white!! { NO ONE IN THERE RIGHT MIND WANTS TO PUNCH BETTY WITHE }
 

 

 

 

 
Dont worry about this pic . It was all straightened out before coolant hit .

 
Well that is 2 days worth of tubing Hand cut on the jig saw and hand file .  Time to leak test!!
 

 
Well I had one leak . Apparently I forgot to fasten a fitting going up to one of my filters . And by forgot < I never connected it at all . talk about a free flowing machine . Lost about a half LT , lucky, I Have learned from past issues , and nothing was damaged , just a mess to clean and try again .
One hour later , bam , here she is .. DREAM EATER > It's purpose it is to devour any purpose in life you have once had.
Enjoy some glory shots . This is about a week in to the build .  Still need some odds and ins but she is up and ready to get some awesome overclock coming

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 
Here are some neon shots.
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 

 

 
This shot made me go and buy a dam XXL window, I realyll wanted to see some rez action when door is closed ....
 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 
Finally got my led and XXL door on . Front grills as well . At this point I just need to go back and wire a few tihings and I am done for now. Looking to get some newer gpu but I have a few more miles left on thees 2  980ti I have.

    When way too much is never enough

    Thank you good sir .
    You would not believe how heavy this thing really is . For it to move anywhere I would have to drain it and loose bottom half .

    Your impression with the CaseLabs products you used ?  Fit, finish, features
     
    I've looked at them before, the sticker and slow delivery has stopped me from purchasing one so far.
     
    Guess I'm asking if it met your expectations and you think you got good value for your money.

    Man , All I can say  I love this dam case !!!  It is the ultimate solution for big computing . Everything is modular. I MEAN EVERYTHING . So man accessories are to be offered as well. Rad mounts for every bay , nook and cranny . rez solutions out the yin yang . rad mounting like no other . The list goes on   I can add as many bottoms or tops as I could ever dream . Everything I mess up can be replaced when modding . The Pics I have , are missing 2 bay covers. I did not like the filters there so I moved them up , and im going to order a couple more to replace it . I am also considering an xxl window to show off the rezs as well . But what is cool everything that goes to the case has a part number and can be bought again and again . The material is awesome . light and durable. The paint is very good as well . I love this white. it is almost 5 years old no I believe and looks brand new . Super easy to clean , They offer good filters that I shown in the pics for all the cases in there line up . I have an addiction to new things, better things , and this is at the top of best things I have ever owned. and this is my most prize possession when it comes to objects . 
    so to answer your question , best purchase Ive ever done . NO REGRETS

    Haha, I was slobbering @ the X34, then came the fitting group..... You did a superb job on the tube Dillon, very nice looking!! Only thing would be moving it to clean it real good. But, I would guess the filters do a nice job. +1!

    Thanks buddy ,
    Yes i dont plan on moving it . But I was smart when I built it . I put 2 drains on the very bottom rads so i can drain entyre loop then take off the 2 bottom peds with miminal tear down . Then I should be able to move with ease . But the filters are there for this to only need to happen  almost never or when changing coolant .

    This build is....BIG! How you are even able to move this thing when it's full of hardware? Looks like you need a strong table.
