    Small UP!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    As you can see I had to move the cage inside of HDD, for reasons of space, since in the front I will install a radiator 360! I think I do later the holes. because those in case are not useful; so I can place the port HDD to a fair distance between the radiator and the power supply!

    Now beginning to mask all the pieces and then paint it!

    All for now! Stay tuned! :cooldude:

    Other UP!

    Finally paint! I used a red metallic paint which comes closest to the Red Scarlet, I hope to look good color! Unfortunately from the photos the color is not exactly what it seems!
    When I'll finish the work, I will do the photos with reflex and lights!

    Sorry for my absence! New UP!

    [​IMG]

    I unplugged, with the hair dryer, the label from hdd, I took me some time to not throw too much heat on the HDD, then to soften the glue have been there a good 5 minutes!

    [​IMG]

    Then I put on the kit box of screwdrivers, the adhesive because I didn't know which on the surface to keep it for not to make him completely lose adhesiveness

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I masked the HDD to paint it quietly and then cut the upper ribbon with the cutter precision to cover only the part in relief and the inputs of the screws! Getting what you see in the picture above!

    [​IMG]

    Here I gave a primer because it did not take paint well, in fact I had to removing paint and do it again!

    [​IMG]

    Black paint!

    [​IMG]

    That's what I obtained! The edges could not come better than this! Then I touched up by hand with a brush and paint spray!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Now it masks the contrary! And so red!

    [​IMG]

    Here cutter precision I gently removed the tape paper after first warmed a bit with the hair dryer! Always better to warm it up a bit 'otherwise you risk that take away the paint below!

    [​IMG]

    Removed the first piece, no damage to the paint!

    [​IMG]

    Removing the second piece, painted screws and glued the adhesive after heating it! I put a pinch of attack where it didn't adhere! Usually it doesn't adhere on the tip that one removes first!

    [​IMG]

    Here's the finished result! I hope you like it! If you have suggestions for improving the quality of workmanship didn't hesitate to tell me! I'm curious of your opinion!


    For the moment it's all about! At the next UP!

    Thanks a lot! :D

    As I said the hdd were 2! Here's the second, I hope you like it! :D
    The process was much the same as the first HDD!


    [​IMG]

    I removed the adhesive, screws etc. to paint! I gave HDD the red and then a masked only time the part that I wanted to keep the red! So I saved masking process that could ruin the paint once detached!

    There it cames back from the cellar with a new look! :thumb:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    And finally here it is more beautiful than before! :dremel:

    Let me know if you like and which of the two HDD favorite! Personally I prefer the latter :rock:

    Both look good to me, if you do go without labels it be a good idea to put a small label on a part of the drive that won't be seen so you know what drive is what.

    I know, but I bought only now the New Silhouette Cameo otherwise I would have created custom labels :dremel:

    The idea is not bad, but I would have preferred to have a label view :thumb:
    As I said before to have bought before the the New Silhouette Cameo, I created custom labels :dremel:



    New UP!

    [​IMG]

    It 's time to see how it came the painting!

    [​IMG]

    I really like it :D

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Here I had to remove the dust filter and put it behind the red grid, otherwise you could not see much of a red! Then with the simple Vinavil glue I glued it all! :thumb:

    [​IMG]

    Here's the finished result! I know it's different from the render I did, in which I had removed the black grid above, but I have to say that so I like more :)

    All for today people! At the next UP! ;)

    We see the bars as they came! :)

    [​IMG]

    I must say I really like it! Color is what I wanted :hip:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Here I decided to paint the screws to give contrast to the black rubber pads! ;)

    Now to the castle of HDD! :D

    Here I put the carbon film, not on top of everything, but doing "motif" decorating only a few parts! Hope you like it!

    Soon with New UP! :dremel:

    New UP!

    Let's take a new look inside the case! Or at least let's try :dremel:

    [​IMG]

    This is the before :duh:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    This is after! :hip:

    I must say that I struggled quite a bit to work without removing the rivets of the case! What a great labor, I tried to be as accurate as possible! What do you say? :cooldude:

    New Up!

    To enter the new mask for the three fans I had to cut away this part:

    [​IMG]

    To cut it I removed the blade from the hacksaw and holding it in his hand, I cut.
    This is because with the detached blade could easily reach the edge, but I will not recommend it highly :thumb:


    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    This is the result! I know it's not much, but don't worry I'm working on the mod, or better a couple of things that I need for the mod!
    For example the restructuring of the cellar, creating a painting booth home made, at least I have a place where I can work in peace!


    Currently I have gone on to the pieces of CAD! As soon as I finish the ideas, I'll post something!


    In the next days new up! :dremel:

    Nice work so far and I really like the red :)

    About three weeks ago I had to take a Cosmos 2 to the local landfill. It was heart breaking.

    Thanks! :thumb: But this is Cosmos SE :) A little brother of cosmos 2 :D

    NEW UP!

    To make room for the radiator front that will insert with 6 fans in push / pull and not to stand too close to the PSU, I had to drill at a distance about halfway between the last and second last hole factory in this case!
    Here are pictures :D


    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Holes made with a bit of trouble because I was quite uncomfortable for drilling :grr:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Well the carbon films make good :clap:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Here is the first hdd makes his entrance ;)

    Hope you like it! As always, comments and suggestions are always appreciated! :D


    At the next UP!

    Live makes much better! :D

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    This is the grid! I must say that I like very much because of the contrasting black and red! I thought worse! Then viewed from above can see very well the color red, as we tilts toward the edges less and less :) Same principle of TN panels ahahahah :D

    [​IMG]

    Here's the last picture! Believe me that the colors are much more beautiful :thumb:

    At the next UP! :dremel:

    Exceptional products! Unquestionable quality. As you saw, I received power 1000W Platinum + Corsair Link + 2 RGB LED strips + Various cables.
    I'm very happy because it's my first build and get the trust of a big company like Corsair, for me it means a lot!
    Thanks to all of you to follow my project, because also without your support I wouldn't have succeeded! :thumb:


    Thanks CORSAIR!
