Cooler Master Case Mod World Series 2017 Scratch Builds

Monarch by neSSa

Those of you who follow our modding forums will recognise the name neSSa. He has taken many prizes from our Mod of the Month feature and does some fantastic work. His latest build can be found on the Cooler Master forums as well as our own.


NeSSa has started this build with a definitive plan that he has drawn in CAD. When you are doing a build from scratch, this helps identify early any potential problems with the build.


Once again, we see a different type of material and tooling being used. For this, neSSa has laser-cut aluminium to get the perfect sizes and cuts.


I really love brushed aluminium, and some people do an amazing job with it. Modders such as Justin 'Metalic Acid' Ohlsen can make shiny alu look beautiful. neSSa also has this gift as he shows with the panels he has created.


When the parts start going together, everything starts to take shape.


With the addition of standoffs, we get an idea of where the hardware is going to be located.


With the addition of the hardware and EK water blocks, we can see this is going to be a really nice, subtle build.


One of the last updates showed that all this needs to be added to the build. I am not sure how this will happen, but I shall be watching in awe.

The next project, Winged Victory of Mercy by samca, is a project that combines culture and gaming.
