Fractal Modding Competition

Fractal Modding Competition

Project CJ by Wraith

I must admit, of all the builds, this is probably the one that you would question whether or not it would work.  A completely black, stealth build.  I will be the first to say that is a tall order to pull off without losing detail yet somehow keep enough features to keep it interesting.

So starting with everything needing to be black, or some shade of.  Wraith quickly got on to painting both GPUs and rear PCI covers. The rear PCI covers are a detail that often goes unnoticed, yet a detail that can stand out like a sore thumb if left contrasting to the rest of the build.

Wraith went on to construct several internal panels from MDF, a medium that is easy to work with, yet difficult to master.  He has shown that no matter what medium you chose to do your modifications with, both patience and time can produce a well formed and stunning finish.  By covering almost all of the internals other than the hardware itself, the case was given the cleanest look I have seen in a build for a long time.  This combined with a Matt black material, fully realises the stealth aspect of the build.

Wraith has finished with adding a top “Stealth” panel held up by silver standoffs.  I honestly think this is a great touch that really sets this build apart from the others.  Once again lighting becomes all important to finishing the build and giving a professional look. This tied in with the laced and trained cables brings me to admit that this is my personal favourite build from the competition.

Well done Wraith, big congratulations on the finished build!
