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...!

hi guys - im also gonna steal that freewebs idea - its great - since you can make your site and then just provide links at all the forums you belong to and you dont need to post things 100 times

I'm stealing the idea too!!! Me me me!!

Can i? Pweeeeze?

Dude 8O

It looks really good so far hey, great great work so far. I can't believe how good you are with a file and sheers 8O

Awesome stuff, i'm really looking forward to your next update

Dude your mod is starting to look very nice. And great idea on the site. I think I might do that too

I will host some of your sites on my server. I have way to much bandwidth and space PM me if you are interested.

Hey guys
Thanks for all the comments :bigups:

I'll post an update to the site as soon as this enclosure co-operates with me or I co-operate with it...whichever comes first...

As I said to W1K, go for it

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

What kind of black did you use? COZ IT's HOT!!!

YAR, that black is niiiice, it would be nice if you mentioned what you used...

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...

Here is the latest update :

i like that case. Nice work.

Dude, It looks Frigging awesome. Wow man. I hope you primed the interior before you sprayed it.

Thanks DoOB, much appreciated

@ da ripper: primed ?

aaaarrrggghhh!!!!!!

Man, I could kick myself right now.

...but it says on the can: surface to be sprayed must be clean, dry, free from grease, oil paint, rust etc.
...it doesn't say anything about primer...

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, (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.

If you wanna tip on how to get those panels looking good i can tell you how. My panels for my case are super mirror like.

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...

it was a mission, wasn't it?

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

Finally! I have another update for you, guys

THANKS DoOb...

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...

You should post more pics.
