Green Mesa (built 2015)

I had just picked up the full Half life (1/2 + add-ons) bundle from steam during a sale after deciding to revist the series and decided to repaint my CM690II case in to a black and green theme with Black mesa Vinyls on the sides. Deciding the parts to paint was easy enough as the raised bits that run along the front and top clip off so this was a no brainer, I alsov painted the PCI banking plates and quick access drive bays for a future planned window (which I never got round to) The black mesa vinyls were bought from Ebay and applied direct to the case. Only a stock cooler at the time (this was upgraded to a CM212) but t did the job and with 5 120MM case fans there was plenty of airflow
