My Scout has become too small for my liking so Ive upgraded to a CM HAF. Exciting times, so much can be done with this case and it has so much more space. The Scout already has a new owner who is a dj. He has not indicated what kind of build he wants but the case is the starting point, Hence my Scout thread will not be closed, It will be update with pics of the new build.
I initially created a wanted Thread for a Haf and did not get many responses. It came to a point where I was considering buying a new case - The Silverstone Raven series was reverberating in my mind, mainly because of the unique motherboard placement and cooling.
Special mention and thanks to off-the-chart who contacted me about his HAF. ... It was disassembled and missing a few things but this has afforded me the opportunity for me to become creative.
The main objective is to have a sleek case that shows off my hardware and has enough space for future hardware upgrades and a full water loop. If I have to summarize the design in one word, it would be - Lexus. The pursuit of perfection.
What you can Expect to see in this build,
Black and White Theme - in progress
Window Mod - plexi has been purchased, design is in progress
Front panel mod - design in progress
Front I/O panel mod - Would like to add some sleek luxury automotive buttons to this - such as a "start" button instead of the power button. have a few more ideas in mind - wait and see...
So - what has happened thus far?
Well, like a little boy with some new toys I couldnt wait to get into this and start assembling it to see what it looks like....
But Even before that happened.... I started with the Black and White theme... and its done proper, with primer and all!!
so what it looks like now
Apologies for the phone pics... better quality ones will be uploaded on the next post
