I named this one Gold Wings,  the theme of this one is ancient Egypt,
I choose this theme for color first I will not make hieroglyphs everywhere,
the color theme will be white and gold

I very excited to do this build, specially because working on a limited edition case, and I very honored to be in same list as 7 of the best Modder who will mod this case

    some pics of Fan et Rad assembled

     

     

     

     

     

     
    added some hieroglyphs for test and finally I will keep them , I like it a lot

     

     

     

     
     
    received the case today  honestly , you need to see it in real, its far better than on photo  Hanoverfist did a awesome paint job,
    did the first test fit,  still have some work to do on GPU and Motherboard  and I will remove all black screw inside for gold screws
    and not happy with tubing, I will do more bend instead angle fittings
