Once again it´s time for a worklog. (And this will be our first Worklog on the Asus Forum):cool:


This time with a very special Case to start with. We´re really proud that we could get our hands on an In Win H-Tower Chassis.
We fall in love with this Piece of Art on first sight, so we´re really happy to do a Project with one of those beauties.

And because of the speciality of the Case we couldn´t hurt it that much. So this time we´re going to change only the Color of the Case from a Black/Red
Color Combination to a White/Blue/Silver Paintjob. Beside that we´re going to make some smaller mods but that´s something you will see within this
very short Log.


So before we really start over with a few first pics of this Masterpiece, we want to thank all those great Guys & Girls at In Win, Asus, Klevv, Aquatuning,
EK Waterblocks, Be Quiet , Createx & Iwata for all their help and their awesome Support!!! 😉


And here are already the Specs for this build:

Specs:

Case: In Win H-Tower

Board: Asus Strix X99

CPU: Intel Core i7 5960x

GPU: 2 x Asus Strix GTX 1080

RAM: 32 GB KLEVV CRAS

SSD: 4 x Klevv 240 GB KLEVV URBANE U610

PSU: Bequiet Dark Power Pro 11 - 1000 W

Thank you !!! and the transformation process will start NOW 😉



Like you can imagine...before we could start the disassembling process of this beauty.....we had to press the magical buttons a few hundred times.....
just to see how it unfolds


But then there cames the moment when we had to start.....so we started from the Top working our Way down to the bottom of the Chassis.....

As next we´re going to wet sand all parts so that we could start the painting process with a really smooth surface.....

The mechanism inside looks so scary. Wonder how you are going to mount everything back together! (small sticker on each part?? haha)

yeah it looks scary but we took a few pics during the disassembly which will guide us through the most important steps...



After disassembling all parts, we directly started to wet sand their surfaces so that we get rid of the structure from the original brushed surface....

as soon as the sanding process was finished we started to add the first layers of fresh paint to the first parts....


5869158692586935869458695



Beside that we already rebuild the graphics from the ROG Version and plotted them out so that we could add them later....


58696



We also started to paint the first blue parts with the Paint Createx provided for this mod, but to finish them all will take some time because each part has to be painted 3 times (primer/silver/blue) to get the effect we wanted. Its hard to capture on pics but the final color looks nearly the same if they would be anodized in blue....

586975869858699



On Top of the White Parts we will add an sparkling effect layer, we just started to add that layer on the first parts....so better pics will follow


5870058701



We also overworked the first smaller details.....more will follow....

This is god!

thanks a lot !!




As next we started the work on the watercooling reservoir. For that we took a big piece of 4 cm thick plexiglas and mounted on our cnc mill so that
we could start the cutting process which took a little while....


5872258723



then we cutted out top and bottom for the reservoir....


58724



With those raw parts in our hands we could directly start the sanding / polishing of all parts so that we could glue them together....


5872558726587275872858729


Beside that we continued the painting process of the next pieces.....


587305873158732


We also painted the first details to the backside of the mainbase.....


5873358734

In the time between the most of the Hardware arrived so that we can also start to modify the one or other part....so that it matches to our colors.....
We started with the PSU .....which we took apart so that the loose parts could get fresh paint.....


58815588165881758818



After that we switched over and prepared a Alphacool Eisflügel Flow indicator....

We also mounted the Waterblock for the CPU & Board....


5882458825588265882758828



As next we´re going to finish the polishing Process of the Painted parts....so that we could start to assemble everything again.....

As next we continued with the first pair of SSD Holders which we cut out and we already polished the edges....
after making the first pair out of clear plexiglass....we switched to UV-Blue for the second pair....


5883358834588355883658837



After that we printed a cover for the SLI Bridges and painted it.....


5883858839



And like mentioned before, we finish the painting process and start to polish everything.....


5884058841



we also painted the radiator and mounted the Fans so that we could start the assembly process....
