Case Mod - In Progress Project: Art. is back.

yeah its funky. man that black and white is looking cool! great work so far!

 

Thanks, glad that you like it

Thanks for the comment, but it is not black it is some kind of blue.

 

Nice fan grill mate and a nice paint job. That Noctua logo looks so at place on the front of the case. Perfect.

 

Wow everything looks good, the colour choices are good. Like the fan grill and the Noctua logo looks nice

Time to cut out the window on the left side panel. Didn't know that the left side panel had ventilation holes plus space for mounting a fan duct for the cpu cooler when I did buy this case. So decide the left the ventilation holes for the vga card and to integrate the window design more with the design of the painting (pattern) I will make on the case.

Did first make the design on the side panel and then I did pick up my dremel and started to cut out the design.
Here is the result.





Preparing it for painting.

 

I like the interesting cut for the window, you don't see that every day.

 

looks good

and your paintings are pretty nice too

 

Thanks.

Will probably have a new update for you tomorrow.

 

Hi again, back with some updates on project art.
Working on some paintings for an exhibition so hadn't time to upload any pictures until now.

Here is the door painted white and ready to mount the Plexiglas on it.







Did also install the computer parts and a blue cold cathode.
The cold cathode need some modifications to the cord before i put it in.



We don't need that part any more.


No more power switch.


Here is the finished cord for the cold cathode.


Here can you see some of the hardware I did put into this case. The cpu is a AMD 4850e and a 250Gb hdd. Did also put a Albatron 9600GT in it.



Some shoots with the hardware installed.















Door mounted.







Now I only need some materials to start to paint the case with my motif, pattern.

 

Looks nice. Wouldn't it be better to face the CPU cooler so the fan is pushing air through it directly into the rear exhaust fan? Or do you have it purposely mounted that way so you can see the Noctua logo better?

 

Maybe would get better temps if I did mount it that way, but I did put it like that so you can see the Noctua logo.
Plus I did look in the bios settings and MSI's program that shows the cpu temp and it says it is between 19 ℃ - 25 ℃.

Will make me some time soon to start paint the case, but I have to finish my other paintings first.
Have fun!

 

Yeah that's what I thought, either way it looks good.

 

I cant do much work right now and very sorry about that.

 

I like the close up of the window cut looks sweet! I will have to keep track of this one.

 

WOW WOW, Noctua Noctua Noctua, Buddy You are Doing nice job here. The window that you made looks weird and hot. Well done so far. My eyes on you from now and on ! Take care

 

Hi!

Back with a small update.
Did start on a new badge for the case and bought some Uni posca pencils.

Design of the badge.




The I did take my stencil and did cut out this piece from my brass sheet.
Here is the result.


Here is my new pencils. newer used them before so will be fun to try something new.


And I decide to change the material on the doors and front to canvas.


More soon..

 

Woah, major break. i like the badge design

 

Good to see you back, loving the badge design.

 

design looks very awesome.. love the badges

 

Thanks.

Here is another update for you.

My new side panels made from canvas.


Little glue and a stapler to hold it in place.


Remove the pins from the stapler and add some Velcro.




Did add some Velcro to the bottom to get a snug fit.


It is very easy to open and work in the case now.


Did bought a new 2 x 2GB kit.


Had to try the new pencils too on a piece of canvas, fun to try something new.
