awesome paint job

 

[cronic]

i'm thinkin about putting 2 120mm intake fans in the bottom. i am also looking at making some custom frames to hold my filter material. also trin to find a 120mm auqa computer aluminum fan grill to go on the to blowhole. of course i would paint it the same maroon to match. i noticed that sharka can pre order them.

Nice paint job!
What color is it? Looks like burgundy metallic?
I agree, it'd look better without the window.
BTW, it'd look amazing with some chrome trims (just slightly)

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. I have though about either polishing the trim or having it chromed. thanks

just ordered the parts needed to volt mod my bgf 7800 gtx. hopefully that will allow me to break the 500/1400 barrier i am at now.

I wish I could paint my Lian Li V1000 but I don't have the skilz required to do it.

CMOS rest switch. Duh. I should have thought of that for my case. Antec SLK3700AMB - the thing is literally jam packed with components. All internal drive bays and external expansion slots are full.
Anyway, resetting the BIOS means disconnecting and removing the loaded hard drive cage to get to the motherboard.
A switch would definitely be nice. Thanks for the idea (that I REALLY should have been able to think of on my own.)

 

[cronic]

thanks guys, the reset switch is nice. I keep it inside of the case to keep someone from playing with it.

Its SUCKS

















NO im just kidding great job I love the 7800gtx mod great idea btw.

 

[phr0m]

those are some nice windows cuts

i would love to take credit for the 7800 mod but i can't.I would like to thank sluflyer06 for posting it and eocf for coming up with the idea over at xtremesystems forums. i will probably make a new top plate out of 1/8" plexi so i don't have to hack up the original top. probably will work on that tonight. as for the window, believe it or not i used a jigsaw, diegrinder, and a dremel to finish it off. it took alot of time but i think it came out ok in the end. i should have a tabletop 3 axis cnc machine in a few weeks to try out some of my mods on. hopefullly that will allow me to get repeatable high quality results, and be a lot more efficient time wise. thanks again for your comments.
