Wow quite nice , can't wait for some more updates!!

 

[HafMaster]

Very Nice! I like that shade of green you are using.

The cosmos case is really nice. That was almost my first choice for a case for my new build.

 

[tinytomlogan]

if you paint anything major prep is the key to getting a good finish

 

[B|oodThorn]

@ HafMaster - the colour is Ford Regency Orion Metallic,i do love the looks of the cosmos s.

@ tinytomlogan - Thanks for the advice Tom,i have a couple of guides ive been following so fingers crossed

*** UPDATE ***

Right this is a small update,due to breaking a cathode on Saturday ive not managed to build the internals of the rig like i planned,the cathodes need to be fitted first before the rad and everything else goes in.

So in the mean time ive had delivery of a sticker i had made up for my other side panel,bit of a swine to fit but not a bad look overall,pics below -

As for spraying the case :cussing: its been a tough lesson to learn.

Seems the garage is too cold and the laquer i bought is too cheap,so ive had to start again.One problem is getting a warm area to spray the panels in.With no heating in the garage i had a few :beer: and came up with converting the conservatory into a spray booth

So without further a do one spray booth -

All ready to rock and roll,heatings on and let the fun begin :crazy:

Thats all for now,im off to intoxicate meself !!!

 

[zak4994]

Awesome looking nVidia logo but what if you go to the red side... :whack:

 

[Socks]

ROFL at the spray booth! thats pretty sweet.

Where on earth did you get that sticker/vinyl/decal from?? I WANT ONE!!!
