Case Mod - In Progress LAN Cubular/Stacker Build - New Reservoir- 6th Jan 09

Looking good with the primer on.

 

not really my style, but nice work. i think the silver is a good choice too to offset all of the other neon colors you have going there. it will do go to bring the attention to the brighter colors inside. you did a nice job with the shaping. depending on how the silver turns out, maybe add a little metal flake for some more pop.

 

Thanks, yeah it should look pretty subtle with the silver paint job and tinted windows and "come to life" at night although I will probably only turn on all the fancy lights at LAN parties lol.

 

whaoo, looks really nice so far.
I'm loving the smooth front.

 

Hermes.. Hermathrodites <3 best of both worlds

 

No your eyes aren't playing tricks on you, this is an update!


Since the last update I have been running my rig like this, some days I have to search through the piles of crap on my desk to find my power button! lol


I felt that 4, 4" UV cathodes weren't producing enough light so I bought a cluster of 6 UV LEDs which turned out to be better than all of my cathodes! not so good for tan lines though (sorrry Kate)


HATE pin holes.. all gone now though!


Smoothing those enlarged windows ready for paint


The nose cones had annoying little screw holes which had to be filled







MUCH better


everything is in primer now ready for a bit of wet and dry before I paint it all tomorrow hopefully!

 

Good to see you back at work on this!

It is a truely impressive mod!.

I love how it all fits together so perfectly, like everything has it's place.

 

Lookin real good, that bezel looks awesome Ryan!

 

Yep the front looks great. Now paint it lol.

 

Looking good ry@n

 

i love the front! realy awsome m8!

 

I haven't seen it since the LAN party, but it's come along well.

 

Impresive front indeed! I love the 3 turbines on such a small frontbezel.
Keep it up

This is only the first coat, two more to come before the clear coat. I LOVE the way the colour turned out

Next post you will see the case re-assembled!

To do
Finish paint job
Perspex windows
Perspex front panel with cut outs for fan controller and slot loader
cable management and lighting
maybe watercooling..

 

now thats an AWESOME looking paintjob, excellent work

 

Thats going to look so awsome!
I like your combo with that nice silverpaint outside, black interior and really green fans!

I'm looking farward to your next update! Keep up the good work!

 

Looks really good, well done !

 

Nice SFF mod. It use to be everyonce in a while you whould see a SFF case let alone a SFF mod but they're making a comeback. Hopefully they bring back SLI to the SFF market theres Crossfire but its not the same as 2 BFG GTX280's in a shoebox size case

 

nice paint also if its the first coat the choice off this color is great i love it

 

Thanks for all of your comments, means a lot to me.. It looks like another very busy week coming up but I really want to get this paint job finished so I can finally put my case back together! lol There are a few "dots" which have shown up today after overnight drying so im going to give it the ol' wet'n'dry treatment which should hopefully fix that before the next coat of paint.
