OHHHHH!!!!!!! Now I see! That cat lives here!
His name is Sam.
I just call him SH**Head for short.
Just waiting for one more small box from SVC.
I'm trying to decide if I want to get the inside of the case powdercoated or if I'm going to spray paint it. I have to make some calls tomorrow to get some cost on the powdercoating.
Thats it for now.

I still love the smell of new parcels 
Had seen it in the first pics too I think 
Yeah, the cat. He is a real trip. Daddy's boy.
Shipping was only $75 US which wasn't bad considering that the case and power supply are heavy. I also had those two pieces double boxed for safety. And, I also had the power supply tested before they sent it. No DOA on that anyway. That added an additional $15 US. For a total of about $90 US. Still a good price IMHO.
The rest of the pieces or "main guts of the computer will be purchased as the funds are available. I think with the next paycheck, I will buy the CPU, the hard drives and the Optical drive. Then there is the powdercoating decision. Then a waiting game after that. I want to learn more about the new Evga motherboard coming out and a real price on that.The "Classified". Also, waiting for some price drops to happen on the memory and the video card(s).
I was planning on a long build for the computer. I knew that couldn't get everything at once.
And the smell! Kinda like buying a new car.
Then there is the feeling of excitement on a "New Build"
Gotta Luv it!

I bet theres some moneys worth there,love the exciting feeling of a new build.
I guess painting the inside of the case is the way I will have to go.
I called at least a dozen powder coating places here and no-one wants to touch it. They say inside AND out or nothing. Or, the project is too small.
I have looked into the equipment for powder again and I can get a decent system for under $200 US but the problem is that I have no place to bake the case once it is coated.
I will have to hope that I have a decent day next week when I'm on vacation and get out the rattle cans. It's a little cold here right now. The high today was -12 C.

Just a minor update:
I now have the case disassembled, sanded, taped and ready to go for painting. I will probably paint tomorrow. It should be warm enough to paint in my garage with a small heater running.
I have about 10 hours in the project already just in disassembly and prep work. I just hope that it pays off, especially since all this work is just for the inside of the case and spraying with a rattle can.
I'll post up some pics tomorrow.

i see, anyways, i was also thinking of painting the interior of my old case (the one im using right now with the Q6600) does i really need to use a paint (base) and then a clear one? it helps to protect the painting or its just for the looks? if you can help me with that i would be very gratefull since painting isn't one of my best habilities.

Subscribed. Looking forward to checking out your progress. Particularly exciting casing, as for some odd reason, I feel myself gravitating towards casing that have a LARGE side panel fan, whether them being feasible or not, an entirely different question.
