Photography skills and case both get kudos from me...not sure about what's up with parts of the case (curious, not in a negative way); looks so amazing!      

great job warthon very good sleeving job to.

Lol, just because you don't take a hundreds of pics on a build like *cough* some of us do *cough*, don't sell yourself short.  Great pics, and one of these days I'll feel comfortable with resleeving a psu, because damn that looks nice.

luv your case man specially at the back Mirror Chrome finished...Purely custom mod. Good Job. It paid back

Incredible. The build, the pictures, the computer, everything.

I really liked how you took it outside and the black contrasted against the snow on the ground.

Thanks guys!

In truth the motherboard tray and back panel came chrome. Before I hacked*, sanded, and repaneled it, the case was an Ultra m998: http://benchmarkreviews.c...mp;id=120&Itemid=1

I chose it because it was uncommon and I really liked a lot of the design, from the curved struts to the chrome backplate/tray. When I chose the rest of the components I tried to stick with a flat black and chrome/reflective theme. The outdoor shots do the system justice when it's not lit, but honestly it's hard to appreciate the lighting effects in the pictures because it doesn't demonstrate the effects of the lights glowing against the chrome at different angles.

* = cutting into the chrome backplate was the most frightening cutting I did on this build... Plus it sprayed me with sparks the entire time

simply awsome.

Nice work

Thanks everybody Makes all the time/energy invested into it worthwhile.

So did you build that case?  
and i love the window showing off your hard drive.
This case is hands down the best looking case on Evga.com and maybe the interwebs.

Haha, well, I appreciate that a lot, though there are some insanely beautiful cases on the internet, and a few here right in this section. But given that this was my first heavy mod and the tools/experience I had, I'm very happy with it... Not another system like it.

I know it loads really slow, but take a look at the build log if you get a chance. I stripped the case down to the frame and drastically changed the design (particularly the front half). It used to have a single front 120mm and traditional HDD racks. The side panels and top were aluminum, and the front was a slightly cheesy plastic piece. Looked like the older build in my Mods Rigs.

All the paneling on there now originally started as clear acrylic. I finagled my way into using some laser cutting machines for the detail work and created the seamless windows with a lot of careful laser scoring/taping.

One not-so funny tidbit... If the paneling ever looks slightly askew in the pictures, it's because the panels warped while I had it outside! (15-20F outside at the time...)

How did you paint those CCFL switches black?

you sir am a very talented man. Its looks amazing!

has to be the best looking rig i have seen in a long time.
