I promised an update as I knew the panels were getting dropped off today.I havnt said anything about what I was realy getting done to the externals. Well Ive had the hydrodipped. a special graphic film is applied in a waterbath basically. Because of the MSI Krait Snake heritage Ive used a funky snake skin themed film. Before anyone says about the pattern not matching up with the way its actually applied it would be nigh on impossible to get all the lines etc to match up so we have not even attempted it with this as the blocks are so big and chunky.
If you look close here you can see a iddy biddy bit of orange peel, Im not 100% sure if thats the clear or the actual powdercoat panel underneath but you really have to hunt for it to see it.
Its not finished yet - needs lights, PCI covers, SSD's and memory going in then the OS etc. The plastic window needs a good polish to remove the scratches (been moved about in the loft a lot since I first reviewed it)
Basically needs the little bits doing now because that the bulk of the big stuff complete.....
Thoughts?
