I am going to start new modding on HP Blackbird 002 case, it's one of the best case I've ever seen in my life since it released back in 2007! Last time I couldn't afford that case, and finally found it from craigslist for $250, it even came with all parts and in perfect condition like brand new! So I decided to buy it and mod to make it to GeForce Blackbird with GeForce theme! I have been modding several case mostly, here's my previous pictures of my modding case:

Yup that would be my 3rd time "Nvidia" theme, I am hardcore nvidia fan and love their color! Here's some pictures of HP Blackbird 002 before start modding it.




I am currently in process with modding this week, starting with remove all parts, body piece to get ready for powder coat black on interior steel case, also changing mod led light from white to green. Going to sell all old hardware parts and upgrade to latest hardware parts.
 
 

Can you give me CPU and RAM? jk, nice build on rest of your projects, this is definitely saved for later viewing and references.

Just sold all the old parts for over $360 on amazon.com and ebay then bought this case for only $250! I make $110 from that and decided to use it for powder coating. But I still have Power Supply and All in One watercooling, might sell this as well.
Here's a picture of inside case before seperate it, getting ready for powder coating.


All body removed

Yup lot of pieces!



Removed all steel parts to be prepared for powder coating

WOW! 2 days later, I got that package from powder coating for only $100!

They did a great job!

Ordered 3mm Green Led to replacing white led from case and 1/8 black rivets to get all part back together.

All back on


Now working on led lights


Unfortunately I am not happy with that color, I was expecting more like neon green (like Nvidia's color). Might replace with other led color but having difficult time to find neon green 3mm led. Will keep looking for that kind of color.



Now work on ordering cable sleeving for PSU, I am planning on getting UV green wiring and black sleeving look like this

I still am not sure what parts to order yet, really want GTX Titan black, but too expensive. Prefer have 3 way sli make it look awesome in case with this SLi Bridge like this.

I had hard time to find that kind SLi Bridge, hope find one soon and might order 3 780 or 780 ti as well.
To Be Continued.....
 

Looking good!

It's looking great! Where did you find that SLI bridge?

Nice build.  Sure looked like one heck of a project...

Looking forward to the final finished build pics. 

It has been while not work on modding, did not mod that much lately. Too super busy also work mod on other itx case to get ready for PDXLAN on July 11!
I decide to put all hw together for now so I can play games with my new ASUS 4k monitor 60hz 1 ms for $650! here's some pictures.

Wow!  That is pretty cool.  Haven't seen a Blackbird in a few years and it's great to see it live on.

Nice mod, were you able to mod front panel at all, like usb 3. Looking to mod/upgrade my Blackbird case.

Thanks for suggestion, however looks like in the youtube video the front panel was not mod.

Sorry for slow respond, been really busy on other project here http://forums.evga.com/Terminator-Velox-Project-m2265355.aspx#2265355 and soon doing another bigger project than this and hope this time will be full EVGA hardware! No I did not mod front panel usb, was plan to do front power and reset button with geforce logo light up  come off from video card and mod some more.
