I have never completed a case MOD before for my very own PC. Being a budget gamer whenever i had a lil extra money i was putting it into performance upgrade. Now m pretty done with gaming so now it’s time to finally mod a case for myself. M not a professional Modder i mean i have limited experience and tools. But i love the process. Among all the cases i have ever seen or worked on i found the Dell XPS 710,730, 630 and 630i to be perfect for my taste appearance wise. These are not that expensive and are very very solid beasts. A lil hard to find and shipping costs a lot due to their weight. After years and years of searching in my local city i finally got it shipped from a different city. Before going down the thread please keep in mind that m not that good with cameras and angles.... M trying : Final Part 2 Sep 18 P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 ( Update 4 August 2018) P6 ( Update 21 August 2018)

The 730x was always above in priority than the 6 series, those are more majestic. But those are even more rare here. Thanks for the appreciation. I will keep the first post updated instead of going onto next pages but will notify in the thread so stay tuned :) XrayMan Looks good. Thanks man

rjohnson11 Looks interesting
I will try my best to keep it interesting Cool GTX Welcome to the EVGA Forums DIY Tech 3 posts, member less than 16 hour & your first BR --- might be a record Nice modding job Thanks dude. Appreciation is the thing m after, more than $ right now :D notfordman Looking forward to completion. You're getting there. Are you reusing the original hardware, {MB, RAM, ect.} ? Well made videos. Welcome to the forums!
I will be shifting my 2nd gen rig from old casing to this one. Its an i7 2600 that is reaching 80s as the heatsink and paste and air flow all is bad in there. My HDDs are in 50s ( Its summer so i cant complain that much). With a Z68 M-atx Mobo. Being non-K i can overclock it only to 3.8 on all cores during turbo from 3.5 but will require better cooling as already reaching 80s during rendering. I have gtx 960 4GB one so its the bottleneck even at 3.5GHz. However this case is not just it. I will be modding my computer table that is from 70s :D sony stereo system that is from 60s to connect to his rig :D Head phones from 2000 i guess ( making em look new to match this build ) :D I have plans for my Channel's room ( modding the whole room )too :D Just keep me motivated
