    Hooded's Stryker
    Welcome to my build log. Hopefully there will be some good pictures, modders porn, for some and a little humor at times. Although I'm not much at jokes, I do manage to get the odd one in there.

    Although I have linked to the manufactures sites, all my watercooling parts were purchased through DazMode. Great service Daz

    Currently undecided options
    Fluid and Tubing colour.

    Who know's what else may appear durring the build.

    I have a load of blue and white LED's, MDPC White, Black and Blue Magic sleeving to choose from.
    This case will be under going several mods to get everything in, and looking good.
    I have this picture in my head of how everything will fit in.
    So will be a bit of a test of my space relations aptitude .

    This will be mainly white, not sure if I'll use black or blue as the highlight colour. Or should I use both?
    For fuild I have a bottle and a ½ of Ice Dragon Nano fuild but may just use a transparent blue fuild.
    Oh ya blue is my favorite colour so don't be surprized to see that colour in the build.
    Plus it works with the blue heatsinks on the mainboard.

        And we're Off

        Stripped this sucker down so we could get a loook under the hood.
        So these handles will need tobe removed reworked and remounted. They are in the way of my 360 rad. The small handle at the back will only be removed to allow easy drilling for the rads port holes.


        The rats nest that is a sleeving night mare and a cable management horror.

        figuring out what to do with that USB3 cable. h'mmmm
        First mod has started , placement of the Koolance 360

          Fun times begin ... really like that case.
          I know what you mean about that front panel.
          one of my first moves is to make decisions on what I care more about...
          front panel audio - see ya. USB3.0 - tougher choice.
          and CM toss you a fan controller up there too... yeeesh.
          Good luck buddy. can't wait to see more

            Thanks Fuzzy, and you know it Bungz

            I'll probably replace the USB3 with a USB 2 as I would need to get an io card that would allow me to even plug that sucker in. I have an available USB3 port on an AMD board I got so it may go there. Will have to ravage through the old case pile fore some USB2 internals

                        Thank dmckoy

                        I'll be keeping the top. Only a small amount of modding required to fit it with the rad up there.

                          Sleeve Colours

                          Ah the rest of my sleeve showed up


                          I took some more pics of the top rad so you can see it's positioning better.
                          The cut out.

                              So I assume the main handle won't be used to pick this sucker up? Or are you planning to maintain that somehow?
