Hey guys!
 
Newbie here. I have an upcoming case mod project for EVGA. EVGA was kind enough to support this project of mine with their awesome components. For now, I haven't decided on what the name of the project will be but this project will be based on the character of the game "Overwatch", Genji. 
 
I just started drawing up a concept for the project just last week and this might take a while. I need to get some office stuff/work out of my way before I can go full blast on this project so please bear with me.
 
Here's a quick sketch that I made for the front panel. I will be modding a Cooler Master MasterCasePro 5 for this project.
 



The design is just a week old so it might still change (hopefully not). The color scheme for this project will be black/green mainly because that's my favorite color combination. Genji is the samurai character on the Overwatch game and he has white/silver/green color scheme on him. Since I am using black/green color scheme, I might just called this project "Dark Samurai". I am not sure yet about the name but "Dark Samurai" sounds good. For now. :P
 
EVGA was quick to send their awesome PC components to me. It only took em 2 days (I live in Canada)! EVGA and Thermaltake will be my sponsors for this project.
 

 
EVGA's 1000G Power supply looks solid and sexy as hell!


 

 

 

 

 

 

 
They have sent me their Super clocked EVGA DDR4 Memory modules too.
 

 

 
Evga X99 Classified motherboard. This is one hell of a sexy looking motherboard.
 

 

 

 
This part though, since I am going with black/green theme, I will paint this up to matte black or green. Can't decide yet but will definitely change the color of this to go with the theme.

 

 
And this guy, when I opened up the box last week, seeing this beast made my jaw dropped on the floor! EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified!
 

 
Even the packaging is just awesome.

 

 

 

 

 

 
Here is the case that will be murdered on this project. CoolerMaster MasterCase Pro 5. I apologize for the smudges of fingerprints around the case. 
 

 

 

 
In the next week or two, I will keep on pushing on completing the sketch/concept for this project. Hopefully I can finish some deadlines and other stuff back at work so I can start wildly cutting up acrylic sheets and aluminum for this project. I apologize for the quality of photo, I am still working on my photography skills which obviously needs A LOT of work. :P
Well, that's it for me right now, will put up updates as soon as I can. Wish me luck!

Hey guys! It's been a while since my last update, and yeah, I am still alive and breathing, somehow and I really want to apologize for the lack of updates. It's still crazy busy back at work and I am trying everything I possibly could to sneak here and there to come up with some more renderings/concept of the project. Here's a few that I came up with. It still might change since I want to add a bit more details to it.
 
The photo below is the right side of the case. I didn't had enough time to put in the holes on the tray since I only had about an hour of free time. 
 


And this is the left side of the case. Still need to add the PSU custom shroud and some more details for the top panel.
 


 
Next week, I'll start to order some materials that I will be using and hopefully, by next weekend,I'll have a complete and better rendered drawing to present and hopefully I'll be able to start some material cutting. 
 
Thank you for checking my work log out and see you on the next update! Ciao!
