[SCRATCHBUILD] The Hikari Project

Hello!



This will be my first buildlog here, so I hope you'll enjoy it!



I'm Hanshin, a french computer enthusiast living near Osaka, Japan.

I've been thinking of a project for some time, a scratchbuild project: The Hikari Project!







Made possible by my sponsors EKWB, Aquacomputer and Pexon PCs! :thumb:



Thanks to Chris for helping me with the CAD side of the project.



For some time, I've searching for the perfect case for me that would be defined by the following criterias:



- Simple/minimalist aesthetics

- Uniform aspect and color to give a "monolith" aspect

- Capacity to build an efficient watercooling system inside

- ATX capable

- Easy to work with



After a few monthes of reflexion and designing, I came to a final idea. Let me introduce you the Hikari Project.











"Hikari" means light in japanese.

This case will be made in 5mm & 2mm Aluminium (5052 and 6061 alloy), laser cutted and powdercoated!

And the watercooling gear:
