Case Mod - In Progress ZOTAC Mod Box (Finished)

Absolutely amazing, I really can't wait to see the pieces with the clear coat.

 

yeah this is gunna be soo awesome

 

TNT landed this morning with 4 prototype rads from Hardware Labs.

I managed to speak and thank HWLabs just after who told me i was the first modder to get my hands on these so i consider myself hugely privileged so a massive thanks to the HWLabs team and for getting me them so soon and here's hoping i can do them justice.

Included is 2x Black Ice SR-1 240 prototypes and 2x Black Ice SR-1 360 X-Flow prototypes all in what HWLabs are calling a Black Carbon finish and i got to say i'm really really impressed as these things look the absolute business and the build quality and paint is simply stunning.

You can see immediately that the fin density has been greatly widened which no doubt will have a massive effect on airflow so look forward to some testing by the main men but just quickly hooking up a CM fan i can feel and hear the difference.

Anyway, here's a few of the very first pictures of the new SR-1 series radiators

 

That is some seriously nice looking rads!

 

That finish is amazing!

 

+1

 

Very nicely done.

I've always admired your work.
Keep it up

 

Those rads look really good, the finish is awesome. You are a lucky man.

 

they look so good

 

Picked the finished Zotac mod box back up late tonight from DP CustomPaint and i was going to wait till daylight tomorrow to get some decent pictures but i couldn't wait tbh as it looks absolutely stunning so did the best i could with what i got.

These guys really did a fantastic job, i got to hand it to them its just a shame i can't do the 16 coats of deep gloss clear coat justice but hopefully it gives a good idea.........and i'll try for better soon.

Time to start adding some hardware i guess

 

Blooming heck that is awesome. The honeycomb on the top is great.

 

That will be an amazing show piece for Zotac, now...cram it full of goodies hahaha.

 

Holy ****!
That is amazing.
The finish on the paint is sooooo good!

Great promotion material for ZOTAC.

 

THATS FR*CKING OBSCENE PAUL!

 

Wow that looks beyond epic! Awesome paint!
dear god i hope you are not going tri sli with 295s, i think my head would explode if you go did!

imma too young to die..... spare me!!!

(can you even do tri sli with the co-op version of the gtx295?, im not sure...)

 

Absolutely cracking Paul !!

RB Customs and the other painter you comissioned have done an awesome job !

Looking forward to seeing all the hardware installed.

Probably your best yet.... (still love the chrome wavewaster you did... loved the work you did on that).

 

^^^^ What they said +

 

i broke my jaw again

 

Loving the 'skunkworks' rads! Your mods are always amazing, what a great paintjob too. Please for my enjoyment keep these beauties coming

 

I probably should of done this before having the case painted but i love living dangerously and if Pete the painter is watching its probably best he skips this post

The mini USB jack that powers the Nitro was just interfering with the front bezel so harsh measures were needed in the shape of a power file just to remove a small channel for it to rest in..........anyway, it worked a treat and no damage done to the paintwork, plus you can't see it once the front bit is on there so job well done. And got the black plexi window for the Nitro but still to mount the 3 buttons.

Also got the top HWLabs 360 X-Flow rad mounted and also so a honeycomb mesh which looks just the ticket so all in all.......happy days

You also see the underlying honeycomb in the paint much better when pictured outdoors.

Lots of pictures as usual.....
