The fully modded front panel is made up of over a dozen pieces to make up a 3D front panel.
This shows the back that's been fully removed and then re-fabricated to fit the new GPU layout.
The ONYX case mod was a hit at PAX East for its unveiling.
All the hardware and watercooling used to create the ONYX case mod.
I made custom modern shrouds that carry a theme throughout the entire mod.
The Aorus Z390 Xtreme Waterforce motherboard with it's full cover monoblock.
I decided to build a custom fully adjustable tilt top along with some custom acrylic work to give it some style.
The completely re-fabricated back of the H500M case.
I made the back portion so that it's free floating on one side.
The custom mixed lime green opaque coolant
I custom bent the hardline tubing so it would all match the angled GPU
This shroud was designed to carry over design cues found throughout Aorus's hardware
I used CableMod Pro Series cables that are color matched.
2 custom struts support the Aorus RTX2080 Xtreme Waterforce GPU
The mod wouldn't be complete without a custom Envious Mods power button
The Barrow inline coolant temp sensor
Instead of running 1 single reservoir I connected 2 Watercool Reservoirs to give it an original look.
I also made custom polished grills throughout the ONYX mod using mesh from Watercool
I built this custom sign to match the build for its display at PAX East.
ONYX
How it Came About:
The ONYX case mod was built to go on display at PAX East 2019 with Watercool & ModMyMods. I'm proud to own this mod as I put hundreds of hours into modding it from every side. The top, both sides, front and back have all been modded by me in house. I spent a ton of time doing detail work throughout the build including parts that are not even visable in order to perfect the ONYX case mod throughout. The closer you look; the more small detail work you'll see.
The Thought Behind ONYX:
This mod was inspired by modern design elements that I enjoy. I also centered a lot of the ONYX mod around the custom mounted GPU that's at an angle. To accomplish this I removed almost the entire back of the case and then rebuilt a small portion to accommodate the design elements. Lots of new techniques were employed. The main shroud was built so that the hidden top LEDs would shine through the shroud to give it a really neat effect. I had about 2 months to do the case mod and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
