Mach 2 Arrived today
- Thread starter Bradmax57
- Start date
The pictures and description unfortunately dont show the true story, of the probs were
1) Power Switch was aftermarket and not connected to anything)
2) Reset Switch doesnt work
3) Tab on the fan controller has snapped so can be easilly adjusted
4) One of the connectors to hold the front panel onto the case was missing
5) whoever cut the holes in the base for the original mach or whatever it was to be used for should have been shot!
6) One of the stealth drives spring was missing
none of the above were mentioned in the listing. To make matters worse the annodising was two completely different shades he said it was due to one of the cases being sivler and one black although his listing stated that they were previously black, however the case its self looked as though it had been done with a paint brush, then the framework to hold the panels in place on the mach 2 had been welded together and again not very well done.
So basically i was a bit miffed id spent £77 on a piece of crap, was in to minds jsut to neg the guy for selling something wrongly advertised but he probably would have just negged me for negging him so ive left it at that, anyway i decided it couldnt look much worse than it was so I decided to strip it down and have a bash at tidying it up.

That looks pretty nice mate. Is that a new case and Lian kit or have you re-sprayed the ones you got?
Just going back to the previous setup with the bolts etc, how much of a gap did you put in? I have the same problem with Kool160 and need to raise the case, want to get it all ready for when my DFI board arrives. Was is about 2" you raised or more?

Wow, looks amazing for a sprayed case!! Would you mind doing a write up on spraying the case in the mods section? I'm interested in doing this to a system for the gf, she wants it purple. Also would be great to know how to get those results, may look into it myself for my own system if i can b bothered lol.

Very good work on the spraying - black cases look one of the best IMO. Where abouts are these pics taken? Nice lot of space to work in.
