F4DE
by Johan Nyman

Johan have always focused on building his cases himself, from scratch or from found objects such as the Coca-Cola mod, but when he found Cubitek’s Mini Cube, he fell in love and wanted to try to do a regular casemod.

Johan modified the case to fit a 240mm radiator and built a custom-loop with chromed copper tubing to fit the overall black-chrome theme of this mod.
