    Today, i finally found the drive-rails for the case, and when it came to test fitting the drives, i was very suprised how good they were, all it needed was a quick squeeze on the metal progs, and out they came.. to be honest, i love this case, and would reccomend it to anyone. Its about £40, but has no fans, removable mobo-tray and is made of steel, but its the perfect size and has features....

    well, i decided in a moment of madness that i needed to use a second FC, so i whipped out my Zalman FC from its box and shoved it in...

    The 4 dials will be for the push / pull fans and i will try and get the 5V / OFF / 12 V switches for the Cold Cathode power things... ( i hope!¬!!)

    Its quite small, this case, and eventually, the PSU will be a OCZ 600W new thing....

    Nice nice, looks like a good paint job, but It would look better if you paint the Fan controlers too ;)

    Is that the G36C spec ops?

    Pro tip: Set your crosshair to a color that's not in the game, something very bright, somewhat dark, and you can see over anything and not have it dissapear into the sky, or the ground. Pink works best.

    Halfords Matt Black paint (from where they sell the car paint) and Grey Primer (also from Halfords) 500ml each cof £6.29

    if i were you i would use a mask or something to get rid of the fumes, as they are quite strong...

    EDIT...: Can't find them on the website..

    Little update, im now in the middle of planning how i can mount all of my watercooling system in my case....

    here is a stone-age mock-up done in Paint with an old photo...

    [​IMG]

    the problem is that the outlet of the DDC is flat, not at 90* , so i'll eitther have to mount the rad so thats its impossible to bleed, or i will have to go and get a little box so that i can put the DDC in and it still looks black, with some small holes for the barbs, so it'l look like an aquacomputer FMJ sort-a-thing..

    Otherwise, ive been hunting around for some blow-hole trim, and no-one has any... awwww...

    And ive been planing the cutting area and holes to mount the rad and fans to the case..

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    (the reason its not fully painted is cos. i ran out of primer...) and these fans will be on the otherside of the metal, its just easier to work out how to mount it this way,,,
