Now we are starting to catch up with present day. For a year I had this case in a box hidden in the darkest places, but got the motivation recently to make a third and final version. What I wanted to do was to fix some mistakes from before as well as upgrade the hardware and do that custom loop I always wanted.

This time I wanted to use an SFX power supply instead of a pico-psu so I stripped down the case once again and started making holes for the power supply. I also wanted to make the side that I would install the motherboard on black, so no one would be able to see in from the other side. I painted the inside black which gave the outside a really glossy black look. Before I had a 92mm fan in the back, now I changed that to 120mm as well.

I started by deciding the new hardware, the rumours about AMD's newest APU had started going around so I waited for that one, the A10-7850K. Gigabyte was also very nice and sent me one of their FM2 motherboards, the GA-F2A85XN-WIFI and EK Waterblocks sponsored me with the water-cooling gear that I needed.
