Here we are again, 2018! Its an absolute honor to be entering again this year, Ive been looking forward to this since January!
This year, I bring something totally different to the table for you all to judge and critique.
I am modding well outside of my comfort zone working primarily with Steel and aluminum.Every cut and bend will be done by hand.
Using only hand held power tools and files, I will be modding an Enthoo Evolv ATX TG to fit dual 360x45 radiators, along side a top and front panel airflow mod.
I will be incorporating many aluminum elements such as shroud, backsplash and gpu backplate accents.
Parts list this year is a bit more extravagant than last year, as this will become my personal rig!
