[B NEGATIVE]

Fan mount window...not pretty..

Fitted using the stock trim









So thats another thing off the list...

The kit from XSPC has arrived! Got some rarities in here too!



An unpainted prototype EX 360!

4 EX 120s of various colours!

A D5 bay and 2 normal bays!

Lets have a closer look shall we...

The evergreen XSPC bay res,staple of many builds.



The prototype 360,painted tanks and polished sides i think for this if i can squeeze it in.



The guys at XSPC did ask what colours i wanted,i said i didnt mind as they would be painted anyway.
So he sent a mix of unseen colours.



The D5 res i will be using if i can get a cheap pump.



A lot of kit for sure!

Once the fittings arrive,its all systems go!!

This custom loop wouldnt of got off the ground without the great team at XSPC.
I will try to do you proud!

Started on the front cover panel,got it roughed out ready for prep and paint.





Gloss black with some yellow detailing is the look for this piece

Maybe you should ad a 8Mbit warning in the title....

[Squigly]

some nice goodies there from XS !! That prototype 360 rad is prime for a steam punk themed mod! Really like the solid face-plate, think that's gonna finish it off nicely! Looking forward to the paint and detailing

Nice progress & goodies.

800 pixels for biggest dimension seems to be the acceptable norm for good size pictures, if you did that with these they would load extremely fast for people considering the size of them at that res.

I will GIMP the pics in future to a more acceptable size,thanks for letting me know

really good work with the new window, much better ! Maybe you can add some bullet impact like mnpctech already did, like this http://www.mnpctech.3dpixelnet.com/p...ch.com9z9i.jpg

keep modding !

I need to look into how to make them show as 800 max dimension on forums but make them clickable so they can be seen as 1400 dimension at least once this is completed anyway otherwise full shots of this rig especially when altogether so much detail will be lost on small res.

Same idea as clickable thumbnails- upload smaller versions to photobucket or flickr etc, and also the full size versions. Stick the [ img ] code to the smaller versions on the forum and have a url link to the full size versions ( like clicking a hyperlink, only the hyperlink is an image itself too ).

Thank you for that Neil bit more messing but worth it on final pictures. rep

Seems a 360 fits in the top with no modding...other than taking a support beam in the drive bays out.







There is about 3/4 on an inch overhang on the ends but its wont interfere with air being exhausted.

The front panel got its final filing and etch coat today,so it will be finished by weds...

Now,I need to get a pump,spray the rad tanks and get the sides buffed up,then I start with the pipework!

Hopefully end of week it will be ready to fill up and have the loop signed off.

[Phame]

This is such a sweet case mod, executed flawlessly, love it dude.

[jinq-sea]

This is looking great - can't wait to see the finished product!

[B NEGATIVE]

PIPEBENDING TIME!!!

The loop is in,just needs a a little tweaking here and there to get the lines right,but this is the layout.

[Waynio]

The customer is going to be extremely happy with this Neg, that's absolutely MOTY type pipe bendery, man your good at that.

[Kovoet]

I thought it might have been to small but i tell you what it looks absolute brilliant very very nice and clean

You flatter me Good Sir.
I would settle for MOTM myself....
I do think that copper is the way forward,it looks just so much cleaner!!

Thanks Mate!!

[Nikkop]

SO DAMN SEXY, DROOOOLS.

I love the color yellow, it's a shame it's such a rare color when it comes to computer-hardware. Luckily Asrock recently released their motherboard with yellow color-scheme, just right before I got my new motherboard so buying it wasn't an option

In fact, my next soon upcoming project will also have yellow as main-color (even tho my motherboard is red, unfortunately.)

But I love it, freaking damn hot.

Fantastic work mate!
