It feels like I've worked on this forever, although it has only been 2 days.

This is awesome! Is it cool if I copy that webpage idea thing from you? That is just awesome. Because then I can point visitors to that instead of the Forums. Super! Gratzias!

Yippy... another cool spin off if you use your own site is the fact that all images are uploaded on your site... no more photobucket etc... which is great for me because I could actually see the pics :)

Looking good...!

As I said to W1K, go for it :D

I'm just learning as I go along...

The panel is stock standard like that, so no do-it yourself painting was required. Know the name and model of the case anyone?
The cage, on the other hand, was painted with matt spraypaint...in a darker shade of black
But I'm having second thoughts... :x

...but it says on the can: surface to be sprayed must be clean, dry, free from grease, oil paint, rust etc.

find a hidden corner thats been sprayed and see if you can scratch it with your fingernail. 8O 8O

:( If it was already partially painted then it should be fine, bare metal always has to be primed. the paint just chips off otherwise, Speak to Wik, he should be able to tell you, i have just made that mistake on my case, :evil: :evil: :cry: :cry: (they don't tell you this for some stupid reason)

Sorry i Hope i Didn't burst your bubble or anything.

ALso if you spray the panels then you either need to rub off the varnish that most panels have or rub them down completely-a **** job, and prime and spray. if you prime, use an etch primer like coast coat-and get the correct thinners. also you can't usually prime over existing paint.

I wouldn't bother with priming the inside of the case anyway. Once everything is put back inside you won't need to worry about scratches. Unless maybe over time the heat in the case may cause the paint to peel. But i doubt it.

Yeah. I saw it...it does look amazing :).

But I specially bought this case, so that I would not need to go through the same mission you went through...it was a mission, wasn't it?

Besides, I'm more a "cutter and filer" than a painter...

When you go to a mission to do something and it comes out like you want it. Its is totally worth every minute. Remember Modding must never be rushed.

Its up to you mate

Question: There is a fan header inside the psu that controls the single fan and temp of psu...
Can I connect a second fan to that header, to work with the first one, or should I rather run the second fan off a fan controller, which I am still going to install?

I will be installing the additional fan on that fan header, since the psu can then control both fans simultaneously, and I don't have to fiddle with any settings...and the fancontroller would then be used to adjust case fan speeds.

I want to choose between a "6 QUAD" or an asus P5N32-E SLI...

Methinks the asus board is going to be better...so I'll be saving for that then :)

Still not sure about the hsf though... :roll:
