Look at that reflection on the gray paint. not bad for rattle can work.
Back of the build. Not sure about the yellow, it didn't come out the way I wanted. I might do black caution stripes on it, but its the shade of yellow I don't really like.

All interior panels cut to size and installed.
Fan shroud made from fiberglass and resin. 2nd bondo coat.
Radiator painted!
Front panel painted blue and gray.
Interior panels cut to fit, and marked for holes. Tje marks are sloppy because I was just roughing things out inside the case before pulling the panels out and making more precise marks.

Prototyping the fan shroud.
Fit parts, adjust, repeat.
Pump/res mounted on top. this res is made from pieces of the Monsoon MMRS line of products.

Drain system.
Vertical GPU mod.
I did this Vertical GPU mod by de-riviting the back panel cutting the stock fan mount and gpu bracket out, and making my own backplate from steel and a gpu mount piece from some bitmining case that cost 5$
Soundwave superior!
Soundwave
I had my build in a smaller case before, and maintaining it was pain. I decided to migrate my hardware into a bigger case to make watercooling easier. The build is themed after my favorite decepticon Soundwave.

Hardware troubles
So the latest on this build is this: I thought I had a bad ram kit, so I ordered more ram and tested out 2 motherboards and both ram sets. Turns out I have a dead i7 7700k...
I have an i5 6600k on the way to me that I ordered off of ebay, and I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a good deal on an i7 7700k.
Everything else with this vuild is done and ready to go. I could maybe try to look for some vinyl/decal stuff, but I'm more interested in getting the pc just back to working order for the moment.
