[Case Mod] Project The White Pirate

Dat plexiglass... so good... I really like what you did with the roof as well. The ONLY thing I'd have done differently is do the mesh white as well, but that's purely a matter of taste, and that would have clashed with your overall look, so cheers!

I was thinking that as well, because he did the front mesh in white. I think it would look good to have left the top bracing or whatever black and painted the mesh white to match the front. Speaking of the front, I would have gotten rid of the Corsair logo badge at the bottom of the mesh because it looks kinda weird having the big version of their logo in the black plexi, and still having the little bitty stock logo at the bottom. Just my 2 cents though, it still looks pretty awesome.

looking really nice

 

[The Orange One]

Looks epic mate!

 

[BPRSM]

This is looking very cool

 

[alienware]

Yeah I would like to contribute to the accumulating puddle of drool over that front.

Keep up the good work...

First of all, BIG THANKS to all of you guys for every kind word, support i great advices. Honestly, i wasn't too happy with yesterday's work also. So i made a few changes. Don't know how you will react to these changes, but for me this looks much more interesting now.

You were right about that second Corsair logo, it really was a surplus. So i got rid of it. Also, i made some more changes with top mesh.

Few pics so you can see what i'm talkin about

Ready for some painting, again :lol:

and this what we've got...

This plastic painted white looked kind of not so great beneath that mesh.
As AC-DC would said - Back in black

Mesh and plastic together

For the end couple of pics how it looks on the case

So, what do you think about all of this?

That looks great I really like how you covered the 5,25 and 3,5 inch bays. I didn't quite follow the build but i dont expect any 5,25 in there right ? So, plenty of room for any drives, all nice hidden away. Great job so far

Exactly, there is no need for any kind of optical drive!

 

[pcjunkie429]

Wow, now that is what I'm talkin' about :drool:.
Awesome work dude. I bet you can't wait to start chuckin' some hardware into this thing, amirite? The new paint scheme looks amazing. I love the "racing stripes" thing you have going on with the mesh.

Cheers! :beerchug: :downit:

 

[Roooker]

So how many ssd are you going to raid in there ? if you dont see the cables anyways you could just throw like 8 or so in there lol ^-^

Glad you like it, as far as i love the way this is looking right now, so much i was kind of insecure in these stripes

Hehe, easy with hardware. There is some sleeving that needs to be done first

Just vertex 4. All my other drives are external

 

[Roooker]

I was just joking

And btw you know your are going to get ganked for having a OCZ part in your pc right ? Got the Vertex 4 myself and i love it Just make sure you got Firmware 1.5 running, because that gave me a HUGH increase in performance. I don't understand why but ppl keep saying: It's unreliable, it's unreliable. But that is not relevant.

I do have 1.5 firmware and i'm more than happy with this drive, not a single problem so far... And the most important thing there's a five years warranty

Ready for some painting, again :lol:

I am DEFINITELY diggin the Le Mans stripes. Definitely captures the "Boy Racer" feel of the chassis to begin with. Just gotta watch out for that intake paint, it stands to get dirty as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. It's funny, it took me a while to really like it... like, up until I saw the panels actually fitted ON the chassis x-). Then I was all "Dat's sick," and my head exploded.

:beerchug:

Hehe, after this plan you'll say i'm crazy... :lol:

I decided to completely remove everything off of that front bezel and make a piece of black plexi from top to bottom. I'm going to keep inscription and logo at the same spot as it was before.
And I'll make some changes on top mesh again .

I'll be honest with you and admit i don't like those stripes at all anymore...

My initial thought was to tell you to do that, but then I just thought that removing the second Corsair logo would be enough.

Oh well. Can't wait to see where this goes, now that you're pretty much overhauling the case (aesthetically).

Cheers! :beerchug:
