    Hello again,

    I'm starting a mod 4 a friend and have about 2 months to complete it.
    You might know me from my previous mods TECTA and NW-01.

    OK, let's get right to bussines. The idea is to make a very clean full watercooled case, that shows of the watercooling and hardware, but with as less cables in sight.

    A few pics of the rig :

    [​IMG]
    pretty messy :miffed:

    [​IMG]
    the specs :

    120gig HDD
    1gig ram
    2.6 Intel met Hyper Threading CPU
    X800XT grafa
    tuner card pinnacle
    5.1 sound card

    [​IMG]
    The mobo is fixed on a retractable piece. It's handy for assembly, but is gonna be a pain in the **** for the paint.

    [​IMG]
    :p Much cleaner


    [​IMG]
    And a front pic.

    As you all can see, this case has a lot of potential.
    The colours will be black, chrome and blue 4 hardware and H2O.

    Lots of nice space in that case, you should be able to fit everything in and make it look neat with ease. And that board is a nice colour :)

    Got the paint yesterday 4 the case.
    At the moment my hands are tied because I'm awaiting the watercooling stuff.
    The only thing I can do is paint the right panel and spray the logo on.

    [​IMG]
    This is the Flysurfer logo
    I'm afraid that If I spray the logo in one colour the man won't be visible any more. What do you guys think??

    [​IMG]
    And these are the colours. The case black and the logo in ultramarine blue :p .

    More pics soon to follow

    I decided to chance the logo for esthetic reasons.
    Instead of the entire logo, I'm only going to put the FS on the side panel.

    Pics of that tomorrow

    Nice logo, if you used a stencil you could add the guy in a second colour (maybe a light gray with some blue in it?)

    The owner of the case agreed with me that the man was going to be to horizontal in the logo, so I'm just going to leave it like that.

    At the bottom I will put "flysurfer" on it.

    Stay tuned

    Make sure you clearcoat. If you dont that will peal off easy. I did a strip job on a frontpanel and the paint is easy to peal off. Going to go get clearcoat to coat it to prevent that. Anyways im guessing the lighting is what gives the panel its white bottom look. So whats the rig for. Looks like maybe video editing. Keep up the good work and i want to see thta case completly filled with stuff no visiblility in the inside. Just throw stuf in it. Cloths whatever i just want to see all the space filled.

    update time :D

    I made a so noobisch stupid mistake of painting the logo upside down :sigh:
    But after a few hours work, this was corrected and I even added a little something at the bottom.
