    Project Sonic

    Started of with a ugaly pre-modded case for £ 30 odd. the inside had this paint on it like gray and wasent very effective. pollished the paint of with brasso and some car chrome products.

    Then Polished the PSU up (like a mirror) then put in a thermaltake orange fan low noise. Then i cut out the rear 2x 80mm fan grills that slow the airflow down. added 2x Blue-eye thermaltake Case fans. Then i decided on watercooling so the Thermaltake Aquarius 2 i have placed the radiator on the top of the case with an 80mm fan blow hole cut out.

    I havent had time to finish the 80mm fan mods at the rear off. also the case needs tideing such as the cables ect just havent got time to do it lmao

    Also put in a ultra bright blue LED for the power Led and a Red Bright LED as the Hard drive LED also behind the power button is lit up as there is a blue ring around it :)

    The Spec of this pc is:

    MSI Neo 848p Motherboard
    512Mb DDR
    Pentium 4 2.53Ghz @ 533Fsb
    64Mb Geforce 4 Graphics card (need upgrade looking 4 a cheap card)
    Segate 120Gig Hard Drive 7200Rpm 8mb onboard cache
    (needs CD-ROM / CD-RW) :waah:

    Some pics:

    Preping the side's and top and front for painting.

    There was a final coat. but i dident take a pic of that here is the case back 2gether. I am still working on the front of the case. This should be finished in a few days.

    And here is the top of the case with the 80mm Fan for my watercooling.

    [​IMG]

    There is a 120mm fan at the front of the case :jawdrop: to replace then 2 80mm fans at front :thumb:

    Also i painted it black now insted of been silver and like i am makeing a new front for it. tell me what you think of it so far.

    Is this a project? It sounds like it is done, maybe it should be moved to the modding forums

    By the way... red x's

    I suggest you PhotoBucket

    It's really fast and simple and it gives you the opportunity to organize your pics into different directories; moreover you can simply copy and paste the codes for inserting the pics into your forum posts..

    Hope it helps.

    hmm. Good ideas so far, but there's a few things you have to do. First, get a second grille for that second fan. Next, make sure the top blowhole fan BLOWS IN over the rad - trust me - if you use an aquarius for exhaust, expect barbeque.
