Overview / Usage

So with my son, Jack, getting more involved in gaming and creating his own games/maps within People's Playground, Minecraft, Roblox Studio, and Core - I feel it's time to upgrade him from the 3rd gen Core i7 3770 to a newer Intel platform. Jack is a huge Godzilla/Kaiju fan and that's the theme we want to work around - so far, the chassis is a Mustex S6-B which should be a good canvas to work/mod on.

A portion of the parts will be transplanted from his previous rig. Cooling is still up in the air on whether we will do Custom water, AiO, or stick with the air cooler we already have.

Methodology / Approach

I will be putting together designs and logos to etch into the tempered glass panels for the case using a mix of Corel Draw and Adobe's Suite. The etching will be done at my work, where I have access after-hours to some Epilog machines. My son and I will work together to get the color scheme he wants to paint and create the cables.
