Project: Bl&ck Cor&l

[Grinder]

Minimalist for sure, but I love scrounging odd parts for mods - never would have thought of using drawers!

I like the offset to allow the rad to exhaust as well.

Hey infinium, I gotta tell ya that if I would have seen this case at Canada Computer I probably would have taken a pass on it. But now that I see what you have done with it, I definitely would go back and pick one up. Well done. Gotta love the zmt tubing.

Haha thanks... It's probably not for everyone I acknowledge. I wanted to be minimalistic and build something unique but practical. Thank you!

Decided to do something unique (+ didn't want to be restricted by typical PC cases + didn't want to spend $$$ on a big PC case + wanted to learn some new skills). It was an arduous process

> Found a couple of discarded cabinet drawers that fit the bill. Took them, did (learned) the wood work, stained it with a freely donated stain color by a friend, and voila.

> I don't particularly care for RGB lighting, whatever lighting you see came with the parts. In fact my stupid ass already has managed to burn out the addressable RBG strip for the GPU block. Maybe I will replace it, maybe not.

> This was my first ever custom loop and building a case from scratch. I'm not a pro by any means. Evidently the finish is not top notch everywhere, but I'm ok with that.

Called it 'Bl&ck Cor&l' because the color scheme kind of reminds me of scuba diving some place tropical and the black parts stand out like coral reefs. Just go with it lol.
