Wow, well I have to say that is a job well done considering the method in which you achieved that.
Out if interest how long was this build process ?
​​​​
The exterior shell was shipped out from BC to AB(next province over) to my team mate, he invested quite a bit of time optimizing how much pattern he could cut based on the limits of his shapeko. That whole process from sending to getting it back was a month?
Once I got it back, I basically had a total of 12hrs a week to do any actual modding and building, minus holiday festivities. All in all its got about 60 man hours invested.

Nice ! Clean cut and love the black and silver. I am assuming the ''InWin" to the lower section of the case is your own etching ?
Thank you kindly. And yes indeed it was. I wanted to do a mood that had zero painting done, no vinyl, no acrylic. Basically make a mod that was as hard as possible too do at my desk! So the Logo was all done by dremel with an engraving bit and a stone

@ENTERPRISE I use Mayhem White Pastel UV Blue!
The fluid picks up the LED's really well, and with the addition of the UV led's firing from the front, it just pops!
I have one more build in the works that will be hardline, but then I will be making a pure softline build using the EK ZMT!
Project Blackout should be completed by the end of 2019!

Nice ! I will have to keep my eye out for those
They're all in the modding sub-forum

Currently working on an inwin 905 with the help of inwin/TeamGroup.
After that, inwin 925 as soon as it's available

Oh nice ! Is the case fully custom I assume ? I love the fact that you carried on the mesh look by popping it around the reservoir as well, finishes it off nicely...that and the maple leaf at the case front of course
Oh and do not forget to enter: https://extremehw.net/forum/main-forum/promotions-contests/1532-ehw-inwin-insight-giveaway-inwin-805-gaming-chassis
Thanks @ENTERPRISE, This was a phantek Evolv ATX that I blasted apart with a jigsaw The case is absolute dogsh17 for airflow, so that was priority 1. Second was too give it a very raw and unfinished industrial look!
I will definitely share the giveaway, as I already follow and like everything. HOWEVER, I dont feel it would be fair for me to enter the giveaway sponsored by a company who already sponsors me

Heres some photos of the final submission.

Another month, another build... one of my top 3 favorite projects of this year. Velika Planina was named and themed in respect to EKWB and this gorgeous piece of mountain, and the beautiful purple flowers that bloom in its plateau. Fun fact, its only an hour drive from EK HQ!
This one is special to me, in so many ways! Tried out some new painting techniques, first time playing with fresh off the line watercooling, and I had the opportunity to document my work in finer detail and use the parts provided to me to create tutorials.
I made all the fan splitters from scratch and terminated the RGB fans into 1 plug per radiator.
This project was graciously sponsored by EKWB, It took almost 3 years modding to get the YES... And damn does it feel amazing.
The Tou2.0 Inspired front panel for the Inwin 303 came to me after having this case sitting at my feet for nearly 2 whole years.
