Case Mod - In Progress CL0S3 IMPACT-Final pics and a closing for this saga

The clearcoat has really given depth to the paint,it has also muted the spectracoat slightly,its more subtle than when it was bare.
The look of this build us really dependant on your perspection point and light direction as shown in those 2 pics.

 

This work is really awesome! Congrats!

 

Thanks!

Got a bit more done while i wait for the AquaC backplate....

The I/O Panel is finished.

 

Coming together very nicely! Absolutely love the gpu shroud Great job!

 

Im glad you liek it!

Starting to rein in the Aquaero tentacle beast....

Its like a 1980's car alarm...it infiltrates the whole loom.....





The wiring is all done bar the flow meter,only the back plate,the last of the plumbing and the last of the hand cut graphics....So close I can taste it.

 

Dat feeling

 

How about an appetizer?

A little teaser for tomorrow.....





3M is <3

 

Black looks a lot better IMO. That low profile branding looks 11ty better than what most people do.

 

Its the same pic just with a different light source,the black turns white.

 

So....some more graphics....

Im of mixed opinion on this,I think the typeface is too 'fat' myself....









Lots of transitional colour states with different lighting,half lighting makes for weird effects.

And something for the SSD...that will never be seen,,,,,Im wondering if I should get the full door window instead....





Cmon AquaC,get my backplate done so I can finish this thing!

 

I woke up at 4am with the thought of how much I hate it...I made the noob mistake of getting all excited and just doing it rather than taking my time and getting it right...


Stripping off 3M film is a nightmare,the glue is soooo good. However,stripping it at 4am is worse....still its done now and the paint wasnt damaged like last time,the glue must not have grabbed properly.


Now back to the design board....thinner,subtle lettering rather than the block I had before...

 

Much better!!!!

Far more...subtle and more inkeeping with the rest of the rig.

 

B
much prefer the new decals as it matches the whole build which is simply

 

Thanks!! I had a case of new toy syndrome......all fixed now.

I have been properly hounded for a video showing the effects off.

Im no cameraman but here is something.

I like the new ones better as well.

After seeing the video I am wondering. Is there a way to cover that red pci-e slot? It kinda attracts a lot of attention.

 

Im thinking about heatshrinking some vinyl wrap on it,it does stick out a fair bit

 

Hi B Negative,
i spent the last 30 minutes to read through you log and it's just awesome

I've got a small question:

How did you build those Led Covers?
http://forums.bit-tech.net/showpost.php?p=3492146&postcount=166

you just cut a L-Profil and than fit in a sheet of plexi?
I suppose you didn't buy them like that, there look like you gave them lots of your modding love

 

Thanks a lot,im glad you like it.

The profile I used is from these guys.

I used the 90 section with the opal cover

 

That's sad
cause I am from Germany and well we don't have awesome stuff light that ( I couldn't find any)
I had the hope you built it yourself,
so I will have to built it myself with arcylic pipe and a L-profile.

Do you have any experience in glueing acrylic with Alu? Cause i don't see a other way for me to get a clean look like the once you use

 

GOOD NEWS! I FOUND SOME FOR YOU! KLICK HERE!

Seriously though it's not that hard. Even found one in the same style. http://www.ebay.de/itm/141144925276
