Ryzen is a good OMEN

And with pre-orders for Ryzen now available, It's now time to start my Ryzen PC build.


I've alway liked the VooDoo, now HP Omen brand, and as I am getting their HP Omen 32 QHD Display for my PC I figured I may as well make a matching case.

With a new Black Corsair Air 240 case I first strip it down to its frame.


All the grills and dust filters are removed.


I coat the rubber grommets with a white flexible rubber coating.


I mask of and paint the side panels


I take the side air filter and mask it of with the lower half of the Omen logo, and spray paint it red.


After things are done drying I carefully remove the mask.



 I  put back on the grills on the side panels.


The case interior is painted white.


I apply a vinyl sticker of the upper half of the Omen logo to the side panel.


 I put the painted air filter on.


Then all the panels get installed back on.


I add on more vinyl graphics to the case.


Looks good.


I swapped out the velcro with some magnetic mounts for the display driver board and Raspbery Pi Zero.


A 3D printed case for the Pi Zero.  Thing is this will be hidden inside the case so it'll never be seen.


I install the side window display.


Light leaks need to be taped off.


Then trim the corners.


And here the case is pretty much ready for the components.
I'll put in the painted rubber gaskets tomorrow as they need 24 hours to cure.






More parts start coming in tomorrow.
