Its been a crazy summer & fall , and has been a blast with my family and friends, but back into the garage i go for a few projects. First project is the New Cooler master Scout 2 case, Having a military name and theme on the box i am definitely going a camo theme The case has a very sleek design and the Handle on top is great for lan gaming I like the window, but since i will be watercooling i will be removing the fan grills and making it bigger planning on removing one or both hard drive cages to make room for teh water cooling Time to break it all down using the scout insignia on the side panel Camo paracord just need in a few other builds this will be perfect.
One would think growing up hunting a fishing i would be able to paint camo that wasnt the case lol . It took me three tries and several stencils before i begin to like the design . sanded and Primed black then brown beige a few touches up and it will be finished Started cutting out the Guns and skull out of plexi. I ended up redoing the skull testing the position
well someone should tell CM that loaded guns will shoot much better - check that "military clown" on case box... oh! nice paintjob here!
The paint job turned out great but I think the skull could be improved. I am excited to see more. Makes me want to get to work right now.
Touching up a few spots getting ready to cut a bigger Window out , I did like how this look but going water cooling make a pretty easy descion for me to do it. sorry a little blurry The paint seems to flow to gether nicely Camo, aluminum and Mesh from the case what could i make? using the logo from the CM scout 2 box no fingers where lost this time ( where my thumb?) jk alittle touch of paint suggestion from my friend Haley!!! More to come thanks for looking
A little break for the holiday Back to modding, Adding another cut out on the case . using a new blade and u can make some nice tight cuts with this. Cm red but the finish looks pretty good Making room for the 240 rad for the front of the case, The optical drive bays made it too snug, i no longer use optical drives so one less bay wont hurt. so time to bring the dremal out Fits now Stayed tuned more to come!!
Next up The camo shroud for the interior!!! Dremal Time mesuring it up getting ready to make a bend, now wear did i put that bender( all 250 lbs of it) It was alot harder to bend than i thought, I need to eat some more and try again time to to connect them test fit sand down my edge a little paint a little camo More to come!!!
More updates!!!! finishing cutting out the window Cut out a piece of smoked arcylic Time to etch!!! Lights out flashlight on( redneck light table (lol) I used the etcher on teh ponited ends then bring out the dremal to finish the larger areas I will finish the missed spots and clean it all up Side window panel done!!!
In order to be stealthy We need to add some silent fans, But clear isnt going to work. One of my fav thing about these fans i sthe fan just pops off Flat Black next up sleeving little ass screw drive does have a purpose all yea camo sleeving

Hi, I dont understand why you black spray the frame of the 120mm fans, there are everywhere online plenty of fans available with black frame
Cos you use what you already got and change it, thats modding aint it? I think it looks good, my opinion, im not overly struck on the guns and skull on the side panel. That aside its a nice mod, good looking camo.
I have about 15 of those fans and they are pretty slient and free it was easy to use them . Thank you Stem83
