Just a headsup dude etching primer shouldnt be used on plastic

AND the reason why your paint finish is so bad / orange peely is because you have to put normal primer over the top of etch primer. TBH you only need etch for aluminium. On the powder coat on the sniper a quick scotchbright and normal primer in lots of thin layers would have been better

Thanks for the heads up mate

True she didnt come out as great as I expected. But she looks good to me

the only real place I have noticed any orange peely is the front bezel on the side. but I sanded that out and repainted. Most of the rough look is due to my crappy camera and lighting. After I totally reassemble it I'll pop her out in the sunlight for some better pics. But I'll keep it in mind for my next project. I normally dont prime at all lol just a good scotch-brite rub and cleaning and spray lots of light coats

Well done. White is so nice on cases. Think im gonna make my next lan rig in white with different crazy, UV sleeving

OK so now proceeding with the Snow Storm

Water Cooling has arrived.

SWEET!!! it clears

I was worried about that front panel panel hitting the rad but she'll fit nicely

Parts currently flushed out and dripping water out and once my lil ones are in bed it'll be mount and measure time. Then a couple hour leak test and boyah water cooled 2600K

oh and

P.S. dont mind my model she was being silly lol I didnt notice she stuck her tounge out til I uploaded it to photobucket lol

Yeah stormtrooper could be really nice. I would def. make the mesh black

 

[S_I_N]

lol nope sorry but not going storm trooper lol I'm thinking back I think it ws Ruthless Vilian that said venom or posion due to the green so I'm thinking maybe Venemous Snow Storm lol

anyway measured fitted and now leak testing.

man I cant beleive how quiet this pump is thats the one thing I was worried about lol it had a DB rating in the 25ish range but I dont here it at all

 

[Lollipop]

F'ING SWEET PURE BLACK MOBO! I am freaking in love with it

 

[S_I_N]

yeah thats why I went with it I like the Asus ROG line but got tired of red for now lol. The coolant will be dyed with Mayhems Dyes once it arrives to a dark green for now it'll have blue sickle flows in it and when budget allows I'll swap them out for greens in a push pull setup more for lighting than need lol

 

[AdrianD2]

Perhaps you should go with black tubes or pearly white?

 

[S_I_N]

naw I had thought about that but I like seeing inside the tubes

well she's back up and running no pics for now as I need to sort a few things out and do cable management just to tired lol so far seeing a 5c drop in temps

Nice build!

Even more impressive considering, judging by the photos, you're far younger than many of us probably realised

Thank you all

lmfao my age isnt a secret its listed on my profile page I'll turn 47 on Wednesday so I'm thinking I'm prolly alot older than you thought now. Yeah shes into all that stuff Hello Kitty Dora the PITA and all the Nick Jr shows lol. I also have a 3yo thats Autistic Both of them are my world. I'm divorced so they are with me on my days off. Which makes modding and such hard to do as I have to wait til there asleep. Thats why I ran out of steam last night and couldnt get my head to sort out my problems with the build. Which is finding a good spot for my ssd's and hdd. Plus getting the cable management finished, Which is going to be challenging with the extra wires now lol. Plus I dont want to go way over board as it'll come apart within the month for sleeving.
