Scratch Build – In Progress ZdMods - Project pǝʇɹǝʌuı - Final Pics! (post #273)

This is turning into a masterpiece - I love it, so I subbed.

However, hungry for an update. "Waitor, I'd like to order some MOAR!, please..."

How much did you pay, postage included?

 

Yup

That would be sweet, not sure if I can get my hands on it (is that available in spraycans?)

Thanks Nutman! I'll try to do a small update tonight

The ATX pannel was about 15 euro incl. postage (postage was within Holland, might be a bit more for international, you can send them a mail to inform about the costs: info at graveco.nl )

 

Love the way this is shaping up dude!

 

Cool, nice to see a metal-based scratch build that's getting a lick of paint.

 

Great work.. just awesome.. all of your ideas are one of a kind.. Keep it up Meelobee and please.. keep the updates comming.. we need it!

 

Thanks Editor, MeddlE & Pinwmpires

Allright here you go:


Update!

 

Update!

Ordered a bunch of parts last week, but It's all in backorder, so I continued priming parts:

This part has 1 layer of primer and is sanded with 600P


These have 2 layers of primer and are also sanded with 600P




Closeup, shows how 'grainy' the primer is before sanding

 

Looks awesome! Well done. keep those updates coming!
Oh and subbed

Damnit, just realized that I'd already commented on this haha. I am rediscovering awesome mods that I've already discovered

Wondering about the led strip will it be visable or hidden? Ever thought about sleeving it with white heatsrink then cutting out around the led ? Thats what I intend doing with my build. Also have you tried the hard wire mod does it boot no problem? Love the mod awesome work

 

Thanks Dan

bluc: The strips will be hidden behind the aluminum bars; check the picture, the strips are in the small gap to the between the alu bars and the white inner bracket:

Not sure if it boots with the hard wire mod, haven't got a CPU yet.

Still working on this project every spare minute I have, I'm currently painting the small parts of the case, but it's taking time to do it right and get a nice finish. Hopefully some new pics this weekend.

oh and one more thing, yesterday I received the Blowhole Cover / Fangrill I won with the MOTM:



I won't be using it in this build as it doesn't fit the style at all, but I'm sure it will come to good use in a future mod Thanks again for voting for me and thanks to BT and Bill Owen for having and sponsoring the contest!

 

Congrats on winning MOTM

 

Why not powder coat the grills rather then spray ?

 

Thanks GamerID

Silver: Costs, and I want to paint it myself.

Crapman: Unknown brand I got it of Ebay. (check earlier in the log, there's more info on it)

Received a couple of new things: 5x Corsair SP120 fan and a simple Scythe fancontroller

(phone pics sorry)

Corsair vs Enermax


Corsair SP120


Fancontroller:

 

White primer are you using ? Looks like high build with it being so grainy ,

Also coming along nice , love the fans mate !

 

I would assume its an self etching aluminium primer, regular ones don't stick as well on aluminium.

 

It's a plain metal primer from a local hardware store. Not sure if it's self etching or not..

Update!

Made a fancontroller in the right panel, just above the 7"touchscreen:
















Prepared the psu cover, a backbannel and a sidepannel for priming:






And prepared a couple of parts for the 2nd layer of paint:





Not so big an update, but all this stuff is very time consuming.... till next time!

 

Nice work on the controller

Don't know if I missed it but what is your final colour going to be?

 

Thanks Final colour is white for the base & blue accents. Not sure what I'm going to do with the main alu bar (the standing one in the middle) I might polish that to a mirror finish and keep the rest white..

Mini update: Here's some of the parts after the 2nd layer of paint:
