Hi guys,
 
Recently I posted a new thread on my Project Isolation and today I have a new build log for a project I am calling AZUL which simply means blue in Spanish and I needed a name that sounds cool in English :)
So I give you AZUL, a modded system in the Bitfenix Aegis case!
 
I would like to thank Bitfenix for providing me with the case and other accessories as well as ASUS Australia, Bitspower, HyperX and CableMod!
 
I will update the specs once I know everything is confirmed. To start, here's a look at the case before the action happens and as the translation of the name suggests, the case is blue!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 
Love the color. So far so good.

 
Hi guys,
 
Here's a bit of Dremel action on the front panel :D
 

 

 

 

 
Stay tuned for more!
 
Cheers,

Always love your mods Alex.

Thanks a lot Robert :D

Yes I will definitely stay tuned!

Hi guys,
Here's the case with the white pieces installed :)
Still some work to do on the front panel.







Thanks for checking it out!
Cheers,
Alex

Outstanding!

 
Hey guys,
 
I added some paint, vinyl and frosted the acrylic in the front panel. It's really coming along now!
 
There's even more work that will be done to the front panel however, stay tuned!
 










 
Thanks for checking it out!
 
Cheers,

Thanks for the updates

Cheers man, no worries :D

 
Okay guys, some of you may have been wondering where I'm going at with the front panel of the case. I first cut this massive hole in it, it then add a windows only to frost it.
 
Well I hope these pictures give you an idea hehehe, I will leave it at that.
 














 
Thanks for checking it out!

This looks interesting. I like that design and don't worry about the photo quality, the pictures look fine.

 
Hi guys,
 
I hope you enjoyed the last update with the reservoir. I will not start featuring the components going into this build starting with the motherboard and memory.
 
The ASUS Z97 Gryphon with the armor kit! I've had this motherboard for a while and it hasn't been used. I'm excited to finally use it as it really is a nice board.
 

Here it is without the armor on.



And with the armor.



I love these caps/covers that come with the armor, I think it adds a nice feature.

They include one for the rear I/O as well though I will probably leave these off.

Also, here is the RAM. I'm sticking with the white and black theme.



It looks nice to alternate between the colours with the RAM sticks.

 
I will be, of course, modding the motherboard to suit the theme so stay tuned for more!
 
Cheers,
 
Alex

Very nice!

Cheers :D

 
Hi guys,
 
More work has been done on the AZUL build as I am trying to get it near completion!
 
Firstly the graphics cards used are two reference GTX 970s to which I have installed Bitspower water blocks to. I love the look of these small cards. They will work nice in this build with the M-ATX motherboard.
 








 
Also the motherboard armor has been painted white using some Plasti Dip and it came out pretty good!
 




 
Bitspower CPU water block!
 

 
Now to add some vinyl to the motherboard to tie it in with the theme a bit more and hide some of the other colours still showing. Once that's done I can start assembling!
 
Thanks for checking it out and stay tuned for more!
 
Cheers,
 
Alex
