Ok well my S/H brushed Alu Mountain Mods case arrived today and its huge :).

Its the older model so the top and sides all come off at once.

Also its looking its age a little a few scratches on the case and the plexi, however the plexi can be replaced and I may polish the case to near mirror finnish

I will be fitting a water chiller into the case with a fridge controller mounted for easy use...

I am unsure what I will do with the monster yet I will either build a full system or just install the chiller unit and flog it off to fund my next project

Stay tunned for pics :)
 
Sounds good mate, keep us posted :D

Moved to the worklogs while its a work in progress, final pics go in the gallery sections ;)
 
Nice! :)

[EDIT] DOH!! Just read it through twice! ah well :) good you got the idea there anyway ;) deffo do it will look mint! [/EDIT]

I'll keep my eye on this thread :)

I will try get some pics tomorrow as the case is at work :) but yeah it seems like it will be a load of work to polish I had a go at the mobo tray and I can tell ya it took ages and it still dont look right :(
 
hmm what grit ranges you using? You using warm water with a bottle of fairy liquid beside you? It helps quite a bit suqeezing it on every 3-4 minutes :)

Yeh you're right about the work, but it'll be a relief when its done and will look the dogs ;)

Just like to show you this, took me about 20-25 minutes from this

I know its no-where near the size of your case :p but looking at it in a polished way, will look really good :B

iv just bought a polishing wheel im gunna use on my lian li pc70 insides, polish all the alu in it. Its made of sheep skint and iv got some auto sol, the sheep skitn is quite abrasive (i shoudl know it took a lump of skin of my finger lol) and its working a treat

Forgot the camera today cos I had a meeting I haven't started on the main body of the case yet I am still trying to decide on the finnish, not sure if I will go fully mirror or if I will keep the semi brushed look
 
Case pics it has only had a very light hand polish because I wanted to keep the brushed look plus that helps hide some of the scratches loool

Without further adieu

Not sure but quite a few hours I did it in bits you got yours yet??

Hmmm and I am not sure if I should go for blue fans even though every one has them or go for green ones hence the name mountain dew loool???

My other problem is whether or not to put in a cylinder type heat exchanger or a large pipe heat exchanger decisions decisions :D
 
That does actually look quite a bit of both - polished and brushed :D

Cant wait to see what your going to get up to! :B
