    Update is coming :D

    Thank u

    Glad i could help

    Thank Mambro :D

    Update !!

    Before u could start with paint praying the case i had to work on a few details.
    Few Updates ago i removed some pieces from the HDDcage and 5.25 bay to remove unevenness in the metal.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    With a some aluminum i fixed the the detailing.

    [​IMG]

    Test fit if it fits perfect.

    [​IMG]

    When the pieces fit perfect i could glue the part together with bison metal metal glue.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    This has to hard out for 24 hours before u can sand it of use it for it final purpose.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    When the 2 parts where ready it was time to take the case apart.

    [​IMG]

    This makes it easy for to transport the case to my work. All the part fit perfectly in my backpack. So i can transport it with my motorcycle. At work i can start with sanding all the parts and pray painting it.

    Primer

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    After 2 layers of primer and finish lak the pieces where ready :D

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Placed the parts in place just to have a look at it.

    [​IMG]

    When i came home i immediately putted the case back together and places the hardware back in. :D

    I want to thank Mickel from Imatex for supporting the project with free plexi glas :D
    IMATEX

    Placed all the pieces next to each other to give u all a overall look of all the parts that still needed to be placed in and on the case :D

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I started at once i had the pieces.
    Just had to drill a few holes to some screws so i can easily mount the plexi on the case.

    [​IMG]

    Paint sprayed the radiator cap also in white so it will fit with all the rest.

    [​IMG]

    Placed my 8gb ram from project white on the MB. Got my self 16Gb for my main pc :D

    [​IMG]

    Now that the radiator cap is finished i can polish the dariator it self with Commandand Nr4
    U can see the difference between the 1 that is done and the rest.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Placed the radiator on is place at once.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Next step is making a small piece of plexi to place it at the site of the 5.25 bay.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Display in it.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    This is how the case looks now :D

    I really like what you do with copper tubing. Excellent.
    Are you nickel plating again or leaving the natural copper?

    No these pipes will stay like this i think it fits perfect with the white grey color of the case en the red leds :D
    Thank u Bulldogjeff
    Thx :D
    Incoming :p

    Update

    In Kiers build i saw that he engraved his sponsors on a piece of plexiglas so i am gonna copy that idea and use it my self :D
    Engraved the Cooler Master, MSI and Hardware info logo's on it

    [​IMG]

    Time to start with the sidepanel i brought them to my work where i can work on it without complaints from my neighbors :p

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    First panel done on to the next one. the other will be a little more complicated with the drawing on it.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Both panels have bins filed and sanded when they where done.

    [​IMG]

    Time to start with the painting :D

    [​IMG]

    When the paint was drying i started to drill the holes in the plexi so i can mount them on the side panel.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    When primer was done i only had to spray 2 layer of finish lak

    [​IMG]

    After a few hours the paint was dry and i could take the panels home again. Placed the plexi glass on it.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Power on :p

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Next step was to make a short 24 pin cable.

    [​IMG]

    Cutting of the female plug.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Making a male to male cable that is a lot shorter then the original Cooler Master 24 pin power cable. To prevent having to much wires in the case. Did the same thing for the 8 pin MB and 6 pin PCI

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Testing if the pc still works and it did :p

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Removed the protective foil from the other panel. I need to say that it gives a nice effect with the smoke plexi glas :D

    [​IMG]

    Made a small movie of the case just click on the picture

    [​IMG]

    Added some leds to the sponsor plate.

    [​IMG]

    Placed it on the the sidepanel

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The idea is to isolate the bleeding of the light so that have light where i want it to
    Also placed 2 3mm led in the EK cpu block

    [​IMG]

    Its a shame that my camera cant make good photo's with red lights.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    A few more things to do on the case it self and then it is finished. then i can start with the front of the case.
