I feel your pain man. It's all of the little finicky bits that take the time.

I'm already drawing up plans for the next project and it involves around three weeks of prep and paint lol.

Got 18 SilenX fans thats going to be painted. Im happy that the second radiator isn't ordered yet, so i will get a break from painting when i have the first 10 done. Will ddo the others when next big release from amd/nvidia is out. Not bothering watercooling my 5870's
 
Yeah definitely no point on the 5870 as they're as cool as cucumbers any way.

Did you think about painting the shrouds gold? Might be a bit OTT though that, but would look cool none the less

I might paint the red on the cards, black, gold or blue. Cant paint the whole shroud gold, as im afradid it will be to mutch of it. They need to be opened anyways for cleaning. :-)
 
Yeah maybe colour coding them would be the key. Gold is a very hard colour to code because too little and it looks sparse, too much and it looks awful.

Usually any colour can be put with black and look awesome. I have a taste for lairy bright colours offset by black

Next project though is going to be a parody of the Scan Jellyfish, so I will be using orange and white

Looking forward to see that project :-)

I should start up my dremmel and cut parts out of my Antec 1200, but i just got home from 10h nightshift and im really sleepy. Delaying it for tomorrow i think.
 
Hey guys. Finnished 4 more SilenX fans. Same result as the first 4 i did, so im pleased. Gonna work on the antec 1200 this weekend and i will probably upload some pics for you. Have a nice weekend all :-)
 
Nice work fella
smile.gif
loving it

Thanks. Think the end result will be very pleasing, with components who are easy accessable, good looking/personal and awesome overclocking options. The only thing im a bit scared of is that the gold wont look good with blue, but in that case i will order some blue metallic and redo some. Really hope i dont need to do that though :-)

Got no wotk this weekend so i was going to start with the Antec 1200, but i kinda slipped into a partymode today. Started a game of Crysis2 multiplayer and was only going to drink one whiskey. Now it is 5 whiskeys and planing to go out on town, so screw the 1200 today

Cheers for the feedback folks. Have a good one :-)
 
R.I.P ANTEC 1200

Ok i have drilled the Antec 1200 to pieces and i have taken the parts im gonna use further. The rest is going into the trash :-)

If you live in norway i can sell you the side door modded with nice acrylic glass. I also have all the hdd bays W/fans if anyone are interested in buying it cheap.

I did save some moeny today, because i thought i would need to order me some vandal switches, but i used my dremmel instead :-)

Next steps are to cut the motherboardplate and to paint the pci holders. Had to stop the project today, because my cam was out of power. Will sort it out tomorrow night when my gf is back home.

Had to put on some eye protection, because i got melted plastic in my eye. Im ok though :-)

I didnt get a picture out of the MB plate, but it turned out really nice. My cam was out of power but i can take a few more pictures later on.

Yeah those thin metal pieces can be a real pain to get out of hands/arms. Really dangerouse if u get one of those in your eye, so i always use eye/ear protection when cutting metals. Gonna file down all sharp edges so hopefully no accidents :-)
 
Jesus Christ, you look the spitting image of my mate Alan. For a second I thought you were actually him then I noticed you are in Norway, so you can't be him.

Nice work chopping up that Antec case though.

Been drinking redvine and modding tonight while listening to lollapalooza consert from chicago :-). I did paint the card holder, and it looks very nice. Out of paint now so must wait a few days before i continue. Will post a few pictures of it tomorrow night or the day after. Have a good one folks :-)

My dvd burner must get a fresh new look also, havent mentioned this b4, but it should be when i come to think of.

Oh im so looking forward to get this project done. I had so many cases and theres always somthing about them that i dont like, no matter what brand or solutions. Hope i can stick with this one for a while :-)

Took a few pics with my nokia. Sorry about the quality but im getting my mirror/reflex cam tonight(do you call it that? :-D)

Even painted the screwes. Easy piecy but just another part of the progress.
