Project : Toxicity - Updated 9/6

UPDATE - 10/5 - Woot Got Sponsored !!!!

Thanks to Bill at MNPCtech.com



I picked up a HAF932 recently for a bargain price so I'll be using that case. It's weird but this will be the first case I have ever modded, having scratchbuilt Monolith all those years ago.

I plan on doing videos as well as some money shots so we will see how a Modding Video Worklog pans out.

The colours will be bright Green and Black. Here's the paint I'll be using for the bright green.

Here's a couple of Sketchup concepts to whet your appetite. Sorry I don't have time to learn any rendering software.

I'll be using Scythe Gentle Typhoons and painting them the lovely green to match. I'll also be braiding my PSU cabling green (not shown) and depending on what I can get watercooling hose wise I'll be looking for green again.

You can see in the 2nd image that I'll be making a custom reservoir for this case and also painting some of the radiator.

The unseen side panel and roof panel are still in the planning stages.

I've done some work already so the next post will just play catch up a little.

As I said I've already done some work to the case and here are the worklog videos, the first is in standard quality however all the rest will be at least 720p thanks to a new camcorder

I'll be taking some more photos of the parts when they have dried properly

Also my first set of parcels arrived, some new fans for the case. Scythe Gentle Typhoon (who thought of that name?) 1450rpm.

I decided against doing a video of my opening up a parcel, especially after I found how it had been shipped..Getting into Fort Knox would have been easier. Anyway on to some photos.

These won't be staying stock for long I have a cunning plan

As you can see I'm working with my camera to try and take some more interesting shots of hardware..

There will also be a short video coming soon with regard to the fans

Looks nice so far, how good are those fans btw? I'm looking for some really silent ones for my new build coming up.

 

[thestepster]

[craigr1982]

Cheers guys :0

The fans are really quiet and they shift a lot of air too..Not tried them in a case yet as they are currently in bits

As for the vids. Glad you like em, I figured it was time to jump into the 21st Century with a worklog

[AMDFTW]

[craigr1982]

danisaur - yeh its a cool slogan

AMDFTW - mnpctech has seen some of my other builds and contacted me about them. It helps that I'm a member of a few forums too

So another update, including some money shots of my green spray painting adventures

After a couple of coats of primer, green and some clear lacquer here's how the case internals turned out.

As you can see it I can't get any closer with the braiding

Also I have a new video up now too.

I still have some more painting of the case to do but first I need to get my jigsaw out and start hacking away at some panels.
