Right guys, I have got the case back! She is ef'ing beautiful However... The weather has not been. So I have not been able to get any pictures!! Have done some work on the mobo tray though

As you can see, the 150 mm res is perfect. The 24 pin will be extended over the res, so really the inside colour will not be seen. The 8 pin will go through that whole (Yet to be sanded properly yet)

I have decided to have the hdd and ssd infront of the PSU, which will be hidden by a cover (same colour as mobo tray) which will cover the length FROM the end of the psu to flush of the end of the mobo tray, so that enables me to still see the PSU, because I will be changing the internal fan, to a Xigmatek orange blade one, so that it will be a lovely thing to look at

Other then that! Lets begin the viewing ;D

This is how I will be attaching the mobo tray to the top of the case, with some M4 screws there is I think 6 evenly spread out accross the top of the tray, the bottom psu cover will also be attached with M4 screws too. It also helps keep the mobo tray in place as well

coming along nicely. lookng forward to seeing the case colours

 

[SEBAR]

Looking amazing. Keep those updates coming.

 

[PBaines]

Righto here we go!! Note that the top inside piece is also orange
The fans will have orange blades too, those are set to be here this week. More pictures will be taken then!!

How is this paint any different from the colour scheme that NZXT produce?
WELL!! The inside is roof and floor is orange. The black is the exact colour all around, so there is no difference between the powder coat and the plastics, the orange all looks the same. Also, there are gold flakes in the orange, so under some beautiful light, you can see a teeny-weeny bit of gold. Once I get some proper day light (Winter here in NZ doesn't give us much of it) I will get some pics of the gold flakes

Next goal... Get a bigger window

Note; the sniper 2 is not the motherboard that I will be using

Wow, that's stunning. I've always been a bit of a fan of black and orange, and black and yelow for that matter.

The gloss of the black looks good and deep almost like piano black (good luck keeping the finger prints off it)

In some of the pictures you can see a bit of orange peel on the gloss black, is that just the camera picking it out or does it have a bit of a dimply finish to it?

Thanks! I think so too, love the colours too.

hahah, i assure you. there was a 10 minute preparation "clean finger marks off" before the snaps, and I still couldn't get all the marks off!!

Yes, that is just the camera being a little rude its got a perfect finish to it.

 

[G-Dubs]

Thought it might just have been the camera, but worth clarifying for everyone just how nice the finish is.

 

[Bullmecha]

Sleeving makes me not want to even try mine LOL

Colors on the case are beautiful.. Can't wait for more!!!

 

[PBaines]

Right then!!

The fans have arrived They match the orange that I chose 100%! So am really glad that I got the right ones, it was either these or Bitfenix orange LED ones.

Tom made me think about lighting when I did my Switch 810 build, saying I should have used a white LED strip instead of cathodes, So another reason I chose these fans is because they are white LED! as the fans are all around the case, in 360 degrees, it should all be lit up well

Thoughts and opinions are always appreciated!!

Next update: Motherboard tray

Cheers

I had it done by a pro, I am able to do it this well. But as it is winter here, not the time to paint! So went and got a pro that had a baking room so then the paint would come out properly

 

[G-Dubs]

those front fans look like they're on extract. I would have thought push pull on intake would have been a better way, or have you got a plan here? negative pressue water cooling!!!
