    Or who was it that said, " There are no problems, only solutions."

    You're doing a fine job of fixing things as they pop up. :thumb:

    Hi guys.
    i'm sory for not posting for so long... progress has been slow, and i have other things in my life that require time.
    so, i waited to make some noticable progress and then make an update... so here goes :

    i tried and tried to get the panel leveled...

    it's the best i can do... dent is not noticeable as before, but it's still there.

    right panel is coming along quite nicely. i had some problems with both panels when i tried to prime them
    these small holes appeard

    i will try to fight those holes with a lot of primer coats and fine wet sanding.
    so, panels primer coated...moving od to ghe front panels

    need to coat those masks with plastic primer and then move on to chasis... finish the psu/hdd bay and primer coat everything. then i'll be half way done :)
    once we get to the painting part, wich is my favourite part of modding, things should pick up some speed

    thanks for reading, hope to update soon! :)

    Wow, a rotating globe?! Thats pretty damn cool. Sibenik looks beautiful... I'll have to visit one day, when I can afford to :p.

    I like how you've filled in the holes on the side panels. What are your plans? Do you have any diagrams are are you going to surprise us ;)?

    how have I missed this mod? it's awesome!

    I'm looking to mod that case too later on this year, very inspired. Just curious, how much space is there between the top panel and the plastic/mesh top panel? (If you get what I'm asking)

    i understand your question. i also think i can guess where you're aiming at
    watercooling radiator maybe? :)

    i can't tell exactly how much space is there, i'll measure it next time... but i think you can fit a smaller rad. in there... yea, it sholud fit just fine

    Haha, really great !!
    I'm on filling the holes in my sidepanel at the moment... what I don't understand until now is why Coolermaster decided to have holes for a fan on the right sidepanel ... thats so much more work for us to do :wallbash:

    I hope I am going to have a similar result with the filler as you have... it looks kickass !!

    Quality paint (and patience) makes a huge difference when you are painting, it really shows in all your previous mods and this mod so far. Looking good buddy, keep it up.

    no:worried: ha yeah either the Rad ontop and fans underneath or vice versa.

    Hello :)

    i made some progress on the case, so here's a small update.

    preparations for case priming.

    [​IMG] [​IMG]



    and everything primed and ready for colour painting.

    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    [​IMG] [​IMG]


    The hole in the mobo tray is for one set of hard drives, and for psu cables.
    I also finished the slots for the metal sheet that will devide the case in two parts. It needs a lot of work though. Need to clean and paint the sheet, make it more rigid etc... but it's getting there slowly

    i hope we'll break out some painting on the next update. :hip:
