    when finished, Q-vent 900 will be the sharpest looking 900 on the planet, great Ideals, Fabrication & execution.

    PAINT YAY
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    paintjob nr.1 flat black
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    but the flat black was kinda boring (and i emptied both cans, so i had to get new ones anyways) i bought two cans of satin black, good idea
    [​IMG]
    somewhere in between i made a hole for the pump cable
    [​IMG]
    but i still have no idea what to do with this hose, i think ill just route it straight across to the cover
    [​IMG]
    sadly the pics are crap, because the case is somewhat black inside, so i had to increase the lengtht of the shot

    i hope ill get the foils tomorrow so i can finish up the inside

    How about a short section of alum square tube to run the hose through? Paint it to match and hose is stealthed.

    Wow nice work FrooP I've got a slightly modded 900 (new green fans) and yours just looks way cooler but i think i prefer the cover when it still had the clear blue. I'm not a big fan of the matrix pattern on it. But i still think it looks awesome.
    I don't know if you've said this before but i couldn't see anything but have you finalised what hardware is going to go inside this thing?

    Looks good Froop! Great painting. I'm unsure about the foils as well. Kinda busy, but it's cool. How did you make them?

    loving the work froop its looking awsome, 900 cases are so difficult to work with 2 as such a limited space. have to admit that i think that rad in the front is an amazing idea but is there no way you could squeeze a slim line dvd on the bottom or on top of this? only like 5mm thick. could cut a slot in the bottom of front facia where the antec logo is. seen this done a few times but good work anyway:thumb:
