Silverhand Tower modd
I have created this case mod starting from an old Silverstone RAVEN 01 from my old setup.
Video Time Lapse work log: https://youtu.be/t2PNLz3pwCQ
BOARD: AORUS X299 GAMING 3 PRO
CPU: INTEL I7 7820X LGA2066
RAM: 16Gb XPG D50
NVMe: AORUSRGB 512Gb
SSDs: RAID-0, 2x1Tb SAMSUNG 860 EVO
AIO: CORSAIR H100i RGB
PSU: CORSAIR RM850i
GPU: AORUS GTX1080 XTREME 8Gb
It is my first integral modd and I have only used hand tools, it is a totally handmade work, so it is not entirely perfect.
I've started by removing 5.1 / 2 bays and HDD racs to make room for a kind of stage where I'll put a Jonny Silverhand Kurogami figurine.
I have added a lighting with UV LEDs and some white ones since I have used some UV paint in the decoration of the motherboard.
In the front I have made a modification to fix the sliding door, I have opened some ventilation slits and I have added an acrylic window decorated and illuminated by LEDs and on top I have placed an acrylic with the neck of Jonny's guitar simulating that it comes out of the case.
Inside I have also added a cover with ARGB led lighting in which SAMURAI can be read.
I have also made a modification in the AIO to add a silkscreen with the SAMURAI logo.
I have also made some modifications to the graphics card in the decoration with acrylic paint.
To paint and decorate the tower I have used various techniques, spray, airbrush, brush, transfer, acrylic paint and enamel.
