Storm Sniper Nvidia Edition No More!!!!!

[S_I_N]

well I got my high res artwork from nVIDIA on sunday and I'm going to try and see what I can work out with PS'n them to what I want to do. Just gotta find time. Damn work is back on double mandatory ot this month so finding time is going to be hard. Also trying to figure out how I'm going to pull off the 3d effect on a flat side panel mesh lol. Been considering contacting a metal working type and seeing if they can stretch the mesh to include the 3d part. I know metal can be stretched to a minor degree so its an option. All this is assuming I can incorporate the images to something I like and get approved by nVIDIA. This wont be a major issue (approval) as Alice has pretty much said what I do is ok. But she included more artwork with the high res files that has me thinking different ways lol.

thinking on that as well lol the caddies and the cd/dvd retention parts but on those not sure how durable the paint will be with the push button lol

Nice, I also agree with Ruthless, the tool less clip things for the optical bays would look good sprayed. Also a green LED fan for the front.

I want to change all the 200mm fans for greens BUT and its a BIG BUTT!!! lol the ones that come with the case have dual leads for controlling the lights on one and fans on the other the mega flows have a single lead for both and there not available in green anymore. But all the fans in the case are currently the blue models as I have been having issues finding the green ones locally.

Dumb thought, but what if you pulled the LED's out of a MegaFlow fan and replaced them with green ones? I only have the stock fan w/ 2 pin LED lead right now, so I don't know if it is doable or not.

might have a look at that since the sickle flows are cheap enough to re-purchase $9.99 each I can replace those easy enough. But this weekend I plan on buying some more paint and finishing the side panel with a NVIDIA logo. Since I dont have PS or the skills to use it lol I'm just going with a stock logo and making it fit how I want to lol. I downloaded PS and played with it a bit but damn if I suck at it lol. Might even look at painting those other parts as well. Then I'll snap a few pics of it running with the blue so we can see what she looks like fire up.

white would of been cool true but everybody and their bro is doing white these days I wanted to be different

MOAR PICS

first up all I wanted to paint if the hhd bays was the front part and luckily it has a pin that allows it to come apart

now on the the opti bay locks

heres a pic of one assambled and one taken apart

pin part removed showing underside sorry for crappy pic it looked better in the viewer so I didnt take another one lol

removed the white click mech and prolly cant see all that well but theres 4 tabs to depress to get the button to pop out I wanted to leave the button black for contrast and I felt painting it might of made them jam up

ready for paint I taped off the middle to keep excess paint out of the button area again so they dont jam up
