W2AX built in a Cooltek W2.
I wanted to give this build the feeling of beeing Exclusive, Industrial and Performance" - did i make it?
This project made me love working with aluminium and made me dislike steel even more, but, It probably have to do with the lack of tools (could possibly be lack of skill ;) )
The project is air cooled - i have this... thing.. for air cooling, its something elegant about it.
Awards: placed 1st in the Swedish modding championship 2015 (SMPC).
Dont think i have warranty left on anything - everything been modified one way or another.
