Elegance by MetallicAcid

Hey everyone!

I would like to present to you my latest modding project - Elegance.

The original plan for this build was to just use this as an HTPC, but after owning the Raijintek Metis chassis for a little while, I found myself thinking of more and more great things that I could do, and unique ideas that I would like to try out. After 2 months of hard work, sweat and a little blood, I would like to present to you a modding project where almost everything has been modded, and which I hope embodies the name "Elegance".

This Raijintek Metis is already a beautiful chassis so if I was to create a modded project out of it, I would want my mods to blend and complement the chassis instead of take away from it. I wanted to keep the chassis as close to original as possible as stock, but at the same time open it up for the world to see. I also wanted to solve the problem with the GPU that would be starved for fresh air. The result is a regular orientated motherboard layout where the GPU can suck in air from the bottom of the chassis via the precut holes for SSD and HDD, and also open up and bring the inside out, by creating a curved acrylic window which wraps the side and top panel.

Elegance has the following mods:
Fully custom length and sleeved PSU/SATA data cables
Reversed the internal layout of motherboard
Custom fabricated aluminium PSU shroud
Custom fabricated aluminium GPU shroud
Custom fabricated aluminium backlit panel with "MetallicAcid" logo
Custom fabricated aluminium panel for Cryorig H7 CPU tower
Custom fabricated aluminium IO shield for motherboard
Created 2 new massive windows which reveal entire inside of chassis
Sleeved PSU extension cable
Installed LED lighting
Installed new vandal power switch
Installed custom case feet

Elegance has the following hardware:
Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI Motherboard
Intel Pentium 20th Anniversary G3258 CPU
EVGA GTX750Ti 2GB GPU
OCZ ARC100 256GB SSD
SilverStone SX600-G 600w PSU
Cryorig H7 CPU Cooler
Raijintek Metis mITX Chassis

Elegance has been made possible by these following vendors:
Gigabyte
Ultimate Personal Computers
Cryorig
Ocaholic
Inet
OCZ
Raijintek
SilverStone

Please enjoy my gallery!

Kind regards,

Even though you have made the fan-cable run nicely over the cooler and down a cutout in the top of it still feels a little misplaced. It could easily have been hidden, but now it runs like a purple string trough a aluminum landscape.

Other than that, wow! I love the shrouds, love the windows. And the logo of yours is a really nice design to!

Thank you for checking out the project gallery and leaving feedback biorrith! I realize that not everyone will like what I have done with the fan cable, but I like the way that it breaks up the coldness of all the aluminium

Have a nice one!

Well holy crap. This is so beautiful. I am in love literally.
Just one question, did you change the screws that hold the sidepanels in place?

Thank you vompen. I did change them out so that the new windows and the stock window had the same screws. I thought it might look weird if they were different.

Otroligt snyggt!

Thank you man! Wish you could have seen it in person at Birdie though!

Hey mate

Thanks for checking out my project!! The cable management are called "cable combs" and can be bought from most every custom sleeving e-store. My exact ones are from www.ultimatepersonalcomputer.com

Kind regards,
Justin
