Hey everyone!

Here I am again, after a small pause in pc modding its time to start with a new project. For this project I contacted Dell to ask if I can mod the Alienware Area 51. After a months a bog box from Dell arrives on my doorstep.  
The idea is to mod the case but still keep some details in it that you can see some of the original design in it. This project is also supported by EKWB and Highflow.

Enough talk time to show some pictures. But first a small tank you to the sponsor.







Alright time to show of some pictures from the in and outside of the case.





















Time to pull it all out.







All the hardware that was installed in the case. without all the wires ofc :p



And few items from the sponsors.

package from highflow





Package from EKWB



Time to start with the real work. Installed the water blocks to see if it all lines out.



Ready to cut some pieces out of the case.  



Made new cover plates from iron. First i made from plexi but I changed my mind because I was afraid that it would not be strong enough to support the rads





Welded the pieces over the original frame.







When that was finished. It was time to start with the new motherboard tray. Here you can see a small preview of what it to come.



Thanks for watching! :)

    I have to say the case is very unique. I look forward to seeing the final pics of this mod.
