Case Mod - In Progress Project HAF X AMD - Feedback and suggestions needed.

Thats a nice serie of pictures mav!
liquid is also a nice deepred color!

Keep it comming mav !

 

Besides that front fan sticking out like a sore thimb I actually think it's bloody awesome and love what you done

 

I was thinking of changing the front fan...anyway will do that right now....lol and thanks for the comments

 

Good job! And as for the front fan I think it'll look great with the red LED on, but the drive trays are nice. Actually, I've just finished doing the interior of my 922 matte black.

 

Remember that transparent fan up front, well its gone now. I had to do a little work to the new fan to make it "fit" in....take a look, and beware the pics are not the best, this was taken as I was working.

Sleeving done and what do we do to that offensive sticker which has green in it.....we take it off and make an exact copy out of carbon fiber vinyl.



Sticker On. Also the tabs were removed as they would not accept Nils' sleeving...so they go. And some more Vinyl takes its place:



And Installed...this barely took time. The front design of the case is such that you can just remove the fan filter and you have access to the fan screws:



So that leaves the sticker on the pump...and a pump stand, if I can cut acrylic sometime soon.

 

Very nice!

 

Carbon fibre is nice.

 

I love it even my walking stick is carbon fibre!

 

Much better god job

 

Thanks guys....

 

Great modding mate! keep it up

where did you get that carbon fiber vinyl please? i like it.

 

Thanks man
I got the cf from ebay

 

Can we have updates please? I always look forward to this.

 

Well...been busy with work after the Christmas break, but will have some stuff done before the end of the month. As you know, I am a little unhappy about the pump mount and that needs to be changed. other than that, I guess there are a few small things to take care of, specially the lighting. I initially thought that having it under the mobo would look great, but I guess I need to reposition that...so what out, its not done yet. Thanks.

 

mmmmmmmmmm carbon

 

SO its been a while since anything new happened. Well, the board borked out, so I had the time this week to sit and do some stuff. First of I had to clean out all the fluid and then clean out the components so that there is no trace of red. The red was turning purple again, so I decided to skip it in the new avatar. SO here we go....First of got a new pump stand done as well cut some acrylic and covered up the drive bay area. I like a cleaner look, so took off all the tool free HDD/DVD stufaf and then got down to scoring some acrylic as well as drilling it. I tried with double sided tape to keep it there, but that was not working, so had to do some screw holes and used some hex bolts.

Forgive the pics, as I dont have a working computer and just could not be bothered during getting the stuff done.





Looks very empty....

Anyway today I went to the market and got some cans of paint as well as a whole lot of different types of screws....the idea was to get the grills done today and I sat down to finish that. So after a few hours of work, this is how it looks now.



Took all the grills off



Painting in progress. This was after the 2nd run.

And re assembled...I know the pics are great but trust me it looks a lot better.

 

Too bad the board went kappute, what happened to it? Anyway, thanks for the first update in a while, the paint looks great!

 

Pictures have been removed from your first post. They were far, far too big and were hotlinked elsewhere. Please don't steal others bandwidth - host them on the forum here (under your control panel) or elsewhere like imageshack. Also >1280px wide is too big, even if they are resized automatically.

 

No problem....

ANyway some more pics of the paint...looks better in better light...its actually quite dark in color, due to the black background.

 

'Tis nice!
