    WeldZilla 2 "Secret revealed"

    S-T-E-A-L-T-H !!!!! As you can now see by turning the front portion of the case towards me. It hides the backs of the drives. Then I incorporated my, " Board of Stealth " It is a piece of plexi, that has been painted to match the interior of the case. It is on 2 hinges at the front and a pin that comes up through the bottom of the case to hold it in position. Thereby stealthing my drives and taking care of wire management. Leaving my case looking clean inside!!!!!
    [​IMG]
    Look at that neat arrangement!!!

    It is living up to all my expectations!!

    One more stealth board to go!! We will have to see how it looks with the vid card and sound card installed.

    Great job I must say. I thought the gray was fine at first, but the more I see it, the more it looks unfinished, like it is just a coat of primer. Do you have any idea what paint job you are going to consider? Will it be a solid color or will you have some sort of design to it?

    Beauty Day!!

    For painting!! So It is a new color scheme now!! I like it much better,not so dreary. check it out!
    [​IMG]
    Feels more right 2-tone blue
    [​IMG]
    Even the pump got it
    [​IMG]
    Not done yet,that little right side panel needs a handle to make it easier to slide it back, then swing it out then forward again to come off.

    not to fear the little bit of gray you still see at the cap of the water tank will get brush painted.

    I've been lurking on these forums for like the past year, not registered admiring all the beautiful cases. But seeing this case, I had to register to tell you what a sweet idea this was.

    I love it. I love that case, but it does have a few niggles.

    The feet. I apoligize, but the feet do not match the case at all. Imo, they're quite hideous. lol

    And it needs color. Grey is almost an insult, comparable to beige.

    Awesome work though, although I don't think you even own a dremel, you pwn with sharp cutting things and metal cutting/grinding/welding stuff. :rock:

    I am impressed!

    From those very first pictures it looked like the case was going to have gaps everywhere. Now you have proven me wrong. Everything is very clean. I like it! :thumb:

    Very unique.

    Well

    Too be honest with you Confusitron, I saw that in the pics too. Was happy to see the gaps, so people would see that there was a lot of work put into this to make it all work and look good in the end. Tommorrow I will post up the pics from inside with it all together, lit up and running!! you will be amazed!! Thanks for watching this plan come through!!

    If you notice I always paint all wires to that are not rapped the same color as the inside of case. the molex connector, the audio cables, the front panel swithes, the power wire to my bottom fan. They blend in better this way.
