Cronic's Custom modded CoolerMaster Stacker! Water Chiller project! Check it out!

[cronic]

OK, here are links to my CoolerMaster CM Stacker. I added a side window and a top window. I have 2 120mm exhaust fans(1 200cfm max in the rear, and a clear antec 120mm in the top) as well as 2 sunon 80mm in the bottom rear. I have 1 120mm clear antec and 2 coolermaster 120mm in the front for intake. I also have the crossflow fan installed. This allows me to have extremely good air flow throughout the case. The paint I applied is by House of Colors. It has 2 basecoats of Meteor Maroon. 3 coats of Brandywine Candy candycoat, and then 3 coats of Clearcoat.Also the silver top piece was painted with a high content metallic silver and clearcoted as well. The specs of the equipment is in my signature. I am constantly working on it and any and all input would be great. Thanks for looking.
uPDATED INFO:
I recently added a Matrix Orbital screen and a stainless grill to the top. I have been working on a water chiller setup. my pump is giving me issues so it is on hold until the new pump comes in. here are a few pics of it

Thanks

Very nice!! As an old fart and comp newbie that has spent a good deal of time ogling classic cars and bikes, I will say.
You showed some restraint and keep this project in good taste. Personally I would not mind looking at that for many
years. Nice job, well done.

Classy! Impressive paint job. Good work cronic Now clean up those wires! lolol

 

[grimlykindo]

Very classy and simple design!

The opposite of the ever so frequent "ricer" PC

All you need to make it perfect is hide those wires a little better

But overall is great looking PC - I would love to give my P180 a paint job like that!

:beer:

 

[touchmyichi]

Cool window mod on top.

[Insomniak]

Beautiful paint finish and you ruin it with a side window?

 

[cronic]

I had not really considered selling this case but I guess I could let it go for the right price. Anyone really interested shoot me a pm. thanks for all the great feedback.

 

[JBDan]

Your wanting to sell it really? You have posted high praise about the Stacker why the turn? lol Just giving you a hard time. I really like the quality of what you did. I bet you do find a buyer here.

If I did let this one go I would definitly do another stacker. Maybe a real dark metallic blue. I painted my landcrusier a color called stratosphere mica. Might try that out on a stacker. I absolutly love the stacker case design.

 

[JEDIYoda]

Good stuff!!!
Ya have a real talent for doing real nice paint work!!

 

[Heckler 5th]

very nice! are you a professional painter or just a hobbyist?

what equipment did you use for this paint job?

 

[cronic]

i'm just a hobbyist. I have painted several cars over the years. I used a standard siphon feed paint gun with a 8hp 100 gallon air compressor.

 

[Heckler 5th]

cool, thanks! what's that rocker switch on the bottom for?

did you consider painting the inside? maybe black?

i foresee some side work in your future, care of fellow ATers...

 

[cronic]

if i paint the inside it will probably be silver, because black would show dust. the rocker switch is a cmos reset switch i made. thanks
