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............

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

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 )

djwez · Post by **djwez** » 09 Nov 2009, 11:31

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

Rectron SA isn't even bringing in Gigabyte AM3 boards it seems. You have to special order.
