Nighthawk Build

My entry in Cooler Master Case Mod World Series 2018 #CMWS18 this time is a stealth build. NIGHTHAWK is a scratch build with a theme of the famous Stealth Fighter plane Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk.

Being a big fan of stealth fighter plans, my idea this time is to make a open frame PC Case build with a Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk fuselage on top.

First making the Nighthawk fuselage.

A rough parts layout. Checking how the whole build will look like.

UPDATE : 12 April 2018

Nighthawk fuselage structure done. Also made the case back frame / motherboard tray

UPDATE : 16 April 2018

First coat of filler and primer applied, and also done some sanding. Radiator mount and motherboard screw posts installed.

UPDATE : 24 April 2018

Test fit of Nighthawk build after first paint coat. Looks good for now... but lot of finishing work will be coming soon.

UPDATE : 04 May 2018

Work under progress for the Nighthawk build waiting for parts. Thanks @AMD India for supporting.

UPDATE : 05 May 2018

Now the Nighthawk Build is powered by AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPU.

UPDATE : 17 May 2018

Still waiting for parts to arrive for the Nighthawk Build.

Meanwhile working on cable sleeving.

UPDATE : 22 May 2018

ASUS PRIME X399-A motherboard arrived for the Nighthawk Build. Now can start installing parts together.

Modified AMD RX Vega 56 GPU to Custom Liquid cooled AMD RX Vega 64 (Flashed). Dual BIOSâ€¦ can easily switch between Vega 56 and Vega 64.

UPDATE : 28 May 2018

Finally the Nighthawk build is finished. Hope you all like the build. Thanks to ASUS India, AMD, AMD Gaming, Thermaltake, Corsair and Cooler Master for supporting the idea.
