The Rose PC

I built this case for my daughter a few years ago.. She requested a rose-themed PC, so this is what I came up with. For the color palate, I used her favorite colors, purple and pink. A 3D-printed a pink rose takes up the entire front of the case. I made it large enough to incorporate the Primochill tube res, then disguised the rigid tubing that feeds into the pump as the stem of the rose. To show off the hardware, I fabricated a slanted panel to replace the stock side panel and mounted the EVGA motherboard and graphics card externally. I always wanted to add a bubbler feature to a case, and this was my chance! But don't worry, it's separate from the system's liquid cooling lol. On the back side, I cut two windows in the panel to specifically hilight the SSD cluster and the organically styled rigid tubing that runs from the pump up to the radiator and thru to the components on the front side. Not wanting to add screw-on fan grills, I meticulously cut rose patterns into the steel sheetmetal for the radiator as well as the power supply intake. Lastly, I used pink rose drawer pulls made of glass as the case feet to round out the theme. Thanks to Primochill, EVGA, EKWB, Crucial, and Thermaltake for their continued support!
