--- The Mech Core ---

built from two haf xb's i had laying around, this built is inspired by transformers and anime mechs ... the idea was to create a desktop computer who while retaining the aestethics and clean lines, still felt like something that could take a punch, and destroy anything it encounters ... there are smalll bumps and missing sidepanels which i purposesly left out because it gave a more rugged feel, and overall im very pleased with this build ..

hope you enjoy and feel free to comment

And voila! there is room for all the radiators, storage or whatever the heart desires ; - ) ... thats exactly why i build this ... allways loved the haf xb but found that it was a bit to cramped, if you were to throw a really high end system in there ... and now ! no limit ; - )

thx for the comment ! ...
