This casemod is based on the one and only Cooler Master Stacker.
Like the chassis is not large enough himself, i took 2 of them.

The main PC chassis has a lot of modifications, inside i added a lot of aluminum sheets to cover op unused spaces. polished and painted various aluminium parts to get rid of the boring metal chassis.
Cables are hidden between those aluminum sheets, but some are visible, and how… I used braking hose to run powercables to the various white leds which light up the details. This adds some nice sci-fi detail.

On top of the system there’s another stacker chassis. I chopped it +/- 30cm to reduce the total height to 88cm (34,5”)
Inside there are 2 eheim pumps pushing the cool fluid right into a custom made acrylic reservoir. To control all the leds and fans there is a custom made baybus with home made toggle switches. These switches are intergrated in the aluminium sidebar, and are blue iluminated when on.
For testing and extra stability i have a separate system and cooling/light PSU, providing 750watt together.

On the rear there are 2 air exhaust made out of polished aluminium, hding the fans/power supplys but not blocking the airflow. Have you seen the new Cosmos chassis? His exaust is inspired on this one.

Last but not least: The sidepanels with very small and detailed acrylic parts. Ofcourse with lights. The sheet of aluminium on top of the sidepanel acts like a air intake for the watercooling.

Due to the looks and use of Cooler Master products this case has been shown on CeBiT 2007 and various other exhibitions.
