that side Part was kinda hard to bend but was totaly worth the try. Time to put on the Aluminium C profiles for more Stability and some room for Cables and Stuff.

now finally its time for the Veneer!!!! step by step you can more and more imagine the final product. (next time i dont go to paint the whole case...was a mess to get it back off to put on some glue and the Veneer...)

well Case is done so far, just drying. Time to get focused on the Hardware. The 2080ti will do a great job and The phanteks Waterblock is a nice Base to work with. i did some proper Sanding ( i got the Black block) and a lil polish by hand.

after the polish i made some Akzents of the same Veneer used on the Case. Also i sanded the finns of the inlet because it was a very used block already and didnt look great anymore. Well results in slightly better gpu temps ;P

The B550i pro AX from Aorus and the Ek velocity also got a little modification to match the Theme. As u can see i also did some Kabelsleeving to match the Theme too.

Tubes came out very well, like everything else too. Nice to see that the time on planing was well spended. time for some leak testing

no leaks detected so its time for some Kable management. only a stone throw away from the first Heartbeat.

Nostalgia

This is my first "professional" CaseCon Named Nostalgia!

it is completely made by my own Hands, only an Akku Drill and an Dremel was used as elektrik tools. No bending Maschiene aswell.
It took me about 400 hours to build that Dream Maschiene ( Time for planing included).

I made the Case out of Aluminium sheets ( 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm) and C Profiles.
I painted it black and made some Covers out of 2mm Santos Palisander Veneer.
The Veneer got some Walnut oil to get it a bit Darker and have a nice Finish.

after the Case was done i also modded almost the whole Hardware to match the Color Theme.
Also i made some nice color matching Kabelsleeving. The color of the liquid in combination with the Wood i choosed to interpret some natural resin.

some litle special too is the external radiator i made but that is a litle extra projekt whats still in progress ;)
