Hi everyone,
I guess it's time for me to start my work log, so here it is.
The Story
I decided to build a new gaming computer as I gear up for future VR playing. My previous gaming computer is already 10-15 years old, so I figured it's time to upgrade!
The Inspiration
While I was doing my research about custom hard tube water cooling, I ran across a case modding competition where I discovered this case; I fell in love with that case right away. I plan to use that as inspiration to create a hybrid between that case and some Warhammer 40K titan units like and .
