hey guys still have to do an update.....
but heres what i did today. (after an awesome lan last night)

started messing about with my ram timmings

this was my final oc





gpu seriously needs an upgrade

hey again............
will be doing an update as i have got some work done yesterday and im still busy with a lil bit of stuff.

im going to spray the silver trim blue (i snapped one and have to fix it) but if it doesnt look good will get some mirror chrome and respray it.

btw does anyone know where i can get a black usb port (i snapped mine, probably during a lan.) its the little plastic thing inside that holds the pins. im just going to desolder it and put the new one in but i can only find white ones............

just spray it..... you like doing that.....

haha what choice do i have?? its covered in that steel quickest atm (boy i use that stuff alot)

UPDATE
okay well ive been fairly sick today so didn't achieve too much.

starting off with the front panel before being sprayed


and here are the plexi peices i put in to help hold the mesh in place



the old switch placement has been filled up and sanded down


now for the reverse side of it all





all the parts linned up (plastic has been sprayed






notice the difrence between the paint and standard abs plastic


here is what i have done to the cd rom





now to piece it all together




here are a few of the areas on the inside that had some ribs that were in the way
top panel


and the front panel


heres what i have thought of for the other two switches (probably got the insperation from the hawx formations btw i finished hawx today )



the repair job



i think it doesnt look to bad without the trim on


and then my paint dried



and the final pics of the covers




hope you guys enjoy! comments welcome like always

Looking good bud

Wes, I don't think the staggered switches look too good. Otherwise its great!

hmmm okay...... any suggestions then? they get too cluttered when they are side by side

I don't think the staggered switches look too bad. A matter of personal taste, probably.

well im only going to do the other switches some time later. need my ccfls and my cdrom cover to work properly first (i broke it off by mistake )

heres something i just thought of. i know its not necassry to have them but it does kinda look cool. just need to make them shine up the side of the trim
