    I really do love black and white, a perfect contrast. The mod is coming along nicely, nice work.

    Will do the sound card but i may lose my warranty on my videocard if i mess around with it.
    The pump will be mounted with rubber standoffs as ive had one of these pumps before:)

    We'll just put the build the same kind of peer pressure we did with SpellZ to force the switch to i7.
    Trust me:

    DON'T!
    STAND!
    A!
    CHANCE!

    Can't you just cover the offending parts of those cards with vinal film? That way you can peel it all off in case of having to RMA them.

    Still not much going on at the moment as funds are tight:crying: but i will be doing some more spraypainting as ive got a new fan bus and im thinking of giving the monsta a nice few coats of white paint:drool: and im not going for the 140mm fans anymore as they dont have the cfm i will be fitting 6 Scythe Ultra Kaze 120 x 38mm Cooling Fan, 2000RPM in their place.

    So with luck i`ll have some piccys up later today for you all .

    Heatkiller waterblock brackets now white.

    And whats this?
    [​IMG]

    Painted some silver AC Ryan small holed mesh white for the bottom rad cuts,i think they will look better,mesh on the window will be replaced with plexi of some sort.
    Now lets move on to the monsta,black heck no going white,the rad panels where riveted on so i had to drill them out and i found out the holes where tapped to take M4 screws,so i got some countersunk black ones and redrilled the panels to take them,no piccys of me doing this though.

    Rad sanded down with wet & dry.
    [​IMG]

    All masked up and even recycled a spam letter that the posty had delivered 10 mins ago.
    [​IMG]

    A few coats of grey primer this i will leave to dry over night and then start to paint white.

    Hope you enjoy :)

    That rad looks fantastic without the sides on it, they should sell them like that. I guess you would get air leakage out of the exposed sides so that's why they don't do it.

    It's allways intersting what other people do. I like your Fan-Controll panel.

    Nice job there mate, always good to take your time while painting stuff like that. As you can clearly see, it was worth it :)

    Good luck with your mod, it's look real good. :thumb:

    That's a really nice colour you have there. Is it out of a can or spray gun?
