Good to see you all again!
We have begun our next mod!!!!! Are you as excited as I am? Let me know what you think and drop me a response below.
BACKGROUND
As someone who loves computer modding, I actually enjoy working on cars as well. My current project vehicle is a 2000 Honda Prelude.


So naturally when I saw that Thermaltake’s new Commander 34 case looks like the honda emblem, I knew what I had to do. I’m here to present to you our latest sponsored build, “Prelude PC”




BUILD PLAN
In regards to modding the case itself, we won’t be doing too much other than making the cooling components work. However with some creative 3D printing, vinyl work and paint. We plan on dropping a system into the case that will be recognizable to any Honda enthusiast.
3D Prints
H22A Engine
Turbo Pump Cover
Honda Emblem
Prelude badge
Oil Catch Can
PARTS ARRIVING!!
Unboxing video of some of our sponsored parts! 2 separate builds in this unboxing….

Goood afternoon my fellow PC nuts and Luder lovers!
First, let’s get some love for a bath for #AcidDragon as she sits in the driveway




Now that we know what we are working towards….. Let’s start changing this Thermaltake Commander C34 case!
First let’s get this front panel off by using a gentle prying motion with a flat screwdriver to release the 4 clips



Those 200mm of RGB goodness (Thermaltake included front intake fans)


Now we can get the grills removed and get them painted green to match the grill on #AcidDragon

A tip for painting outside, cover with a clear tub/container to prevent dust, leaves, bugs and anything else floating around while the paint dries

Always several super light coats for the win!

 
While I waited for the paint to cure, I began unboxing hardware and getting it installed to test fit and prep the system to plan out our loop and placement of the “turbo” pump.
Starting with this sexy EVGA Z390 FTW motherboard…and fitting the Thermaltake Pacific CPU cooler to it





Next up our 120GB TeamGroup SSD!



Finally, let’s install this Thermaltake ToughPower 850W PSU! A bit overpowered for this build’s purpose…. But so is the watercooling haha



The paint hasn’t fully cured, but now is dry and can be installed back in place! The case is looking sexy so far!



Hopefully I will have time to get some more work this Friday and have another update for you next week!!!
Stay classy fellow modders and friends!!!

  So far ---->   

Thank you!

Beginning to take excellent shape. Looking forward to more updates. 

nice mate very nice, have you thought about going all out and using a candy flip paint on the rest of the case just like a modded lude would have

The idea is when I paint the lude a nice pearl teal color, I will break down the PC case and have it painted at the same time so it completely matches and shines

Looks like it's coming along and I like the fact you included pictures of the car to help show what you are going for and to show what is inspiring the build.

Thanks Hoggle!  I always like to include as much information as I can in my logs.  :)
