Small Project- Blue Lion

[RFM-PC]

-Project Blue Lion-​

Hello everybody! Since I'm new to the website, I thought I'd start off by making a thread for my case modding project. I've named it 'Blue Lion' as it is based on a blue theme.

List of things I have done:
- Paint the front panel mesh black
- Paint the front panel frame blue
- Changed the front intake fan to a Enermax TB Vegas Duo
- Painted the HDD and activity blinker to black
- Painted the bolts that hold the acrylic panel, to blue
- Painted the back of the acrylic panel to black, to give it a full tint.
- Painted the PCI brackets to blue.​

So yeh, this time it was all about painting.
I have also go the HUB for the NZXT HUE, but it's not functional, it's just there for the looks, it's also got a blue LED on it so it matches with the theme. (It works but you cant see shit from the fully tinted acrylic panel )
I need to sand down some parts of the front panel, as the can I used to paint it with, sprays really fast and heavily, and I had some overspray. Other than that, everything is fine. Hope you like it! If you have any suggestions, post them below! Case is a Sharkoon T9, I can assure you it looks better in person

Thanks for the feedback boys. This case is so mod friendly, so much potential for extra fan mods, I might actually water cool it with black compression fittings and UV blue tubing, or vise versa!

You need to list specs mate

I was actually going to use this case for a friend's build, but got put off by the fact there's no top fan mounts, and I didn't want to cut my friend's case in case It didn't go too well

(LOL ''Case in case'' xD)

I like what you did on it, and not to be a party pooper but...

You do know that this case comes in blue as well?

@Feronix, when I ordered this case they were out of stock on the blue version
Also, I thought it might be fun to paint it and mod it to a blue theme myself
Specs aren't very special haha
AMD Phenom II X6 1035T
12GB of Kingston DDR3
MSI 7750 2gb
Asus M5A97
Silverstone strider 500W
500GB Caviar Black
120GB Corsair GT
Cooled with a Enermax ETS-T40-TB
Quite low end, but I was on a budget and had other priorities.
Ironically, the cheeper paints work better on plastic and metal material on this case.
Thanks for the comments

Im sure you'll do well, 120mm hole saws are quite expensive though. (or any higher mm)
