Hi guys,
Here's a look at the glorious CoolerMaster Master Case 5 Maker! A good improvement from the 5 Pro :)



New integrated fan controller and LED controller with one red LED bar included.

The front section is easily removable with clips at the bottom and magnets at the top, revealing the front intake mesh and 5.25" bays. The front panel is also padded with sound dampening material.


Sound dampening cover for the top as well with air still being able to be exhausted through the back or front sections of the top panel.









The top sound dampening cover can be removed, with clips towards the front and magnets in the back.

The top slide on cover now has integrated magnets as well, towards the front for a better grip.









The included magnet LED bar. This one is red and not sure if case will come included with different colours.

Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more guys!
Cheers,
Alex
 

Hi guys,
I have another update for you!
This time showcasing the Cooler Master V1000 power supply as well as the JetFlo fans!
The fans are red and white LED, I got more than I needed as I'm not sure how I'm gonna combine the colours in the build.
Also, the banner has been update with PLE Computers joining as a sponsor! PLE Computers is one of the best online computer store in Australia with lots of variety for water cooling on top of all the normal components. They even stock Linus' special edition Noctua fans as well as the LTT hoodies. If you're an aussie, check them out if you haven't already :D https://www.ple.com.au/






Some pretty powerful fans but they also come with voltage reducers for lower RPM and noise :D



As we as proprietary screws for the anti-vibration soft corners on the fans which are removable.

With these fans the LEDs are in the middle with the light shining towards the edges creating a nice effect.



All black and sleeved cable











Thanks for checking it out guys and stay tuned for more!

Hi guys,
 
So here is the effect after about 24 hours once fully dried!
 
I gotta say I wasn't expecting this but it's the perfect effect I wanted for this build :D
 
It seems like applying in a straight even motion looks a bit better than the random pattern I did in the corner of the panel. Also the oxidising patina by itself didn't do much to the poweder-coating. I wonder how it would affect bare metal :)
 
Anyways, here are the result. Next up will be applying it to the case!
 








 
Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks a lot :D
 
 

Interesting effect

Hi guys,
Here are the results! Overall really happy with the way it's turning out.
I added some more patches of the rust paint in some areas I felt it didn't cover the panels too well.







Here I started to add more rust paint.







Let me know what you guys think of the results.
Thanks for checking it out!

That rust effect that you achieved is pretty amazing, looks like it spent years under water or in a jungle. It will be exciting to see the final result. 

+1. Just the right effect.

Hi guys,
Before I do any more rusting effects on the rest of the case I needed to do some pass-through holes for fittings as well as add some acrylic cover panels.
What I'm doing with the pass-through fittings going over the top of the case is trying to mimic the back of the Dead Space character with the tube and making this part of the loop.




















I'm also tapping some holes on the back panel as this will mimic one of the arms of the character. You can see what I mean from the banner image.

Just to screw down acrylic panels that I will add.

I've also added some effect to the acrylic panels just with the Dremel disk





I'll be rusting everything now.
Stay tuned for more!
Cheers,
Alex

Cant wait to see what it will look like all put together  

Hehe cheers :D

Hi guys,
Here are most of the panels from the case rusted, clear coated and I also added some effects with some white paint smudges that I think turned out pretty nice and bringing the whole theme together for this build!
As you can see, compared to previous updates, it seems like the clear coat really darkened up the rust look however I think it looks even better this way and more in line with the Dead Space theme.
I'll be putting it all together very shortly but I wanted to give you guys a close up on all the parts!





























Let me know what you guys think and stay tuned for more!

Hi guys,
Sorry for the lack of updates on this build. I've been quite sick over the last week and haven't had a chance to post more updates.
The race is now on to finish this build by the 12th of June. That's Sunday this week as that's when the Cooler Master CaseMod World Series ends.
Here is the work I've done for the top and front panel.
If you haven't guessed it by now the front panel will have Isaac Clarke's helmet from the original Dead Space game mounted to it. It should look pretty nice if done right!
Let's have a look at the progress!
First up the helmet pieces. Started of with a piece of 2mm black acrylic. Measured and drew out the shape by hand.

If you can't see it yet, you will be the end of this update.

Next up were pieces for the top panel to work around the tube. Just designed a random pattern from scratch that I thought would look good and everything was cut by hand with my Dremel Moto-Saw.

Helmet pieces all cut too

I went ahead and bent the acrylic pieces to shape and mounted with other straight pieces to form the overall helmet design.
The way I bent them was with a sheet of thin aluminium that was used to measure the shape of the front panel and then taped up to hold that particular shape. Once done, the acrylic pieces for the helmet were placed in the middle individually and heated up until they took the shape of the aluminium sheet. Unfortunately I was too into it at the time and forgot to take pics.




You can see it coming together.

More work on the top panel. Mounting the pieces together.


And here they are both on the case.

More pics from the next day.


And lets not forget the finishing touches on the helmet



Let me know what you guys think! These will also be rusted which you will see once done.
Sorry if the quality of these images wasn't too good. They were all from my phone.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi guys!
Here's the helmet nearly finished! Just some more minor details that will be added.






The light is only as an example from my phone, it will be better once on the build.



Also a quick rusty PSU mod. I didn't want to ruin the PSU so I used vinyl and rusted that. Then simply applied to the sides of the PSU and came out pretty well.




.
Let me know what you guys think.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi guys,
Getting closer to finishing the build!
Received the cables from CableMod and also did a special paint job on the reservoirs which wasn't really hard to do!











Here's the reservoir!


And more components going in the case, starting to take shape!






Cable management! The reason they are like that so far is that there will be some different extensions for the 24pin and GPU cables which will hopefully arrive in time from Merco Mods. As the build needs to be ready by Sunday, not sure if they will be here in time unfortunately.

You can also see a sneak peak at the finished top panel here.
Let me know what you guys think! Not too long now, will have to rush through a few things for the build log in order to upload everything by Sunday.
Stay tuned for more.
Cheers,
Alex

Looks great. I assume finished pics are coming soon?

Yup, coming shortly! Thanks, glad you like it :D
