Hi guys,

Me again. im starting a new build for Asus and Cooler Master that will be set on display at Computex 2014. it will feature the Z97 Sabertooth and the new Devil's Canyon Processor (which i cannot include pics of yet until NDA is released). I only have 2 weeks to complete the project, so this will be a really quick ride. i hope you will join me again.

thank you to the sponsors:

Cooler Master

Asus

what i will be working with:

Build logs will follow shortly. =)

THANK YOU! =)

Ooo a Cosmos 2, looking forward to it.

there was not anything i could do today since it was a holiday and i couldnt buy the stuff i needed to get started. anyhow, i managed to do a semi tear-down. i dont really need to do a full one because i will not be doing anything wild with the interior lay-out. the the focus will be intended on the new Z97 Sabertooth, and the paint on the Cosmos SE. this will have to do, for now.

for those of you who dont know, this case is by far the easiest for me to take apart (plastic portions). awesome job CM!

off to my painting area you go!

A jp custom, i'll make sure to look out for this one after kuro. speaking of that i'm going to be modding a 690 ii soon

mixed emotions today. i was going to borrow a friend's air brush and compressor. sadly, the compressor had been broken. so i went ahead and tried my luck with some rattle cans i had lying around from previous projects.

splat!

taped up the parts i wanted to remain black

sanded, and coated with white base coat.

now.. here was where i really needed the air brush. so i can define the pattern.. sigh.. looks like im going to have to beat up some kid for cash so i can buy a compressor. (but of course im kidding..)

testing.. so can can visualize better

i know there are easier and better ways to do a camo.. but the thing is, one big reason why i love to mod is, i can mod MY WAY. =)

clock's ticking..

thank you! i am currently re-doing the paint. i didnt really like how there was scatter on the camo. on th pics, it would look okay, but this is for display at computex, so it has to have no flaws. =) thank you again for your subs. i will update this very regularly since i only have two weeks to get this done.

-------------------------------

UPDATE:

so.. i stared at the case for some few hours. something just wasnt "IT" for me. i didnt like how there were splatter marks. it was pretty hard to control the paint since i have only been using a regular rattle can. i got hold of a compressor today, and re did the whole thing with an airbrush. i think this looks a little more organized,and defined.

changed the base paint

cut up some acrylic and sized them up for the interior. as usual, just playing with some trial and error.

testing the look, for proper visualization. im more of a freestyle modder, so i really dont prefer any planning. i mod as i go, with whatever's available.

now.. all i need to do is wait a few days for the paint to dry, so i can wet sand it, to level up the paint and apply clear coat. =) cheers.

Dat camouflage :drool:

Usually not a huge fan of camo, but that looks good

yep. same here. i rather stick to plain. Asus specifically requested for it though. but im kinda liking the progress so far. i still need to do some wet sanding to level the paint, and clear coat.

-----------------------------------------------

UPDATE:

those of you who know me or have seen my work on facebook, probably know i dont use lazer cutters or CnC's. not because of preference, but because of the LACK of it. so i work with what i have. patience.. passion.. and a scroll saw. =)

no.. i dont have a printer either.

taped the trace onto some 3/16 acrylic.

first cut

sanded the rough edges a bit.

started polishing, but a damn roach flew up my neck. freakin creep me out. i'll continue tomorrow.. when there is daylight. lol

thank you. =)

 

[Agamemnon]

really like the camo

 

[MadShadow]

This looks great, as expected. Cant wait for more!

 

[dodo21x]

Impressive

 

[JessePalacio]

sorry for the stand still.. just this for now.

 

[JessePalacio]

UPDATE:

okay.. testing out the new look (AGAIN..). there is still some sanding and clear coating to do so the painting is not quite done yet.
