    Cheers all :thumb:

    Just a few finishing touches before everything goes to powder coat tomorrow.

    Tapped 6 holes in the top grill and added some threaded bar which will be used with small spacers to mount it to the chassis where i drilled holes (red arrows) so there is a small gap between the chassis and the vent which will help with airflow but the main reason is so it ends up mounted flush with the front bit.

    Also de-riveted the hard drive caddy and chopped out a section out so the rad can fit and also cut the base to accept a dual radiator then riveted it back together.

    BTW, i'll be using a GTX240 radiator in the base but just used the only 240 i had for pictures.

    Pictures....

    Just been and collected the chassis from the powder coaters and it looks nice in satin black and i'm well happy the way the top grill turned out.

    Next up is to wet sand the whole exterior then riveted back together ready for Rick to start working his airbrush magic.

    The cooperation of the black case and the chrome rad is very cool. I hope you put more chromed parts on your case.

    I absolutely love how that top panel turned out, it looks even better painted. I can't wait to see the air brushing.

    That's a PITA work, right? But I think it was worth it. Can't wait to see the end result. :thumb:

    It was time consuming, and it always makes me nervous as there is zero room for error when applyling masks like that. I would not say it was a PITA as such, but bordering on it :p
