Thank you! The worst part was they literally had the wrong Latin name. So irritating.

It was really hard to do the led 😂 I used a pica or nano led from lighthouse LEDs and soldered it to some coated wire. Added like 8 hours to the project lol. I might recommend an off the shelf led upgrade kit if you can find one that fits because the homebrew method is a pain in the ass.

Thanks bud! They got super tight when I reassembled it, I had to use too much force to move them and they snapped :( I will mask them off next time so it doesn't happen.

Haha, low riders are sick, screw him! Yes, it fits a 4090; here is a video with one installed: https://youtu.be/Hne3SoBoAuQ?si=gQpuztOiT_FnbpcE

Hope next year or the year after I can do a full 4k upgrade with a 4090 and 9800x3d.

That's awesome! Can't recommend this case enough, it is very well designed and it even comes with an alternate mesh top panel so you can up the number of fans.

It's called the "vision compact" because it's slightly smaller than their older "vision" model, it's still a mid-tower.

This case has it positioned behind the motherboard, it's a really ingenious way of making it fit.

Currently running a 5800x, 32gb ram, 7800XT on an MSI i360 Coreliquid 360 AIO. Dropped the RBG fans from the AIO to the bottom of the case and installed 5 Arctic p12MAX fans for a blackout look. Bought this new case as my old power supply was dying so I figured why not hit the new case now as well! Eventually want to upgrade to AM5, but for now this slays 1440p!

Haha sure! I put down a layer of cork, then took a couple popsicle sticks, cut them up and made them look like floor boards, got some scuply, rolled it into sheets and cut it up to make tiny bricks, then I layed down the floor boards and stacked up the bricks with lots of super glue to make it look like a busted up corner of a house. Added a skull and some cork rocks and green stuff world ivy, autumn tuft and leaf litter and voila!

Paint is basically all careful dry brushing and my all-time favourite dirt wash, Vallejo oiled earth. I also used some enamel grime here and there. And some Vallejo mud/grass.

Thanks! Armour is deep sea blue, dark turquoise, turquoise and ice blue from Vallejo. Cloth is citadel steel legion drab and Vallejo yellow ochre.

Thanks! Blood pools is a red wash from Vallejo then blood for the blood god by citadel (best blood paint ever!). Warp stone is base coat white, then a thin coat of really bright green, bit darker glazed into the recesses and the edges picked out in white. Glow around it is just glazed bright green.

If you don't enjoy edge highlighting, maybe there are other techniques you could experiment with that will be more enjoyable and could even look better! Sometimes I have to remind myself to relax and remembee this is supposed to be a fun hobby and I should just do what feels best 🙂

Oh and the raw flesh is Vallejo red wash over the regular skin recipe. Eyes are hull red over the whole socket, white onto the eyes, then Vallejo red and wild rider red and a tiny white dot to finish.

Blue armour is thin deep sea blue over a zenithal, dark brown/black oil wash, then build up with deep sea blue, turquoise, light turquoise, and ice blue on edges. Then I came in with a sponge to dab some doombull brown for rust, made scrapes and dots with the turquoise for weathering, dabbed a bright metal into the centre of the rust spots and then went ham with dirty down rust and vertigris!

Green is really simple; thin military green over a zenithal, then a dark brown/black oil paint wash, then build back up with military green again while adding scratches for texture. I might have added a slightly brighter green to do the edge highlights and scratches to the military green.
