Started painting over the weekend! Got the base coat down on everything, so the case is finally a uniform color. Here's a shot of my makeshift paint booth, which really isn't a booth at all. I just strung a line across my garage opening lol. You can't really tell from the pic, but the paint has a nice sheen to it. Not to shiny, not too dull. A closeup shot. Still the pic doesn't do it justice! Once I get it assembled, I will give you a teaser shot. Then I will start adding various shades of gray on the individual panels, shadowing, weathering, etc..
Getting the water cooling components installed. Got a nice package from [url=http://www.moddersmart.com]Moddersmart[/url] on Wednesday which consisted of the pump, hose, clamps and fittings, and fluid. I will get the cpu block in first thing next week. I permanently mounted the rad and fans on the bottom. The triple rad extends the length of the floor, with one end close to the cpu block. The other end has the fitting emerging in the hard drive cage area, which will connect to the pump mounted above. Here's a shot of the blast flow GPU blocks. I just have them on for placement right now. Waiting to see if I can get the plates. If not, I'll use ram sinks.
Almost there! Here's a shot of the interior panels that Moddersmart cut for me. Getting the wc up and running. Had a couple leaks, on both rad fittings. Wrenched on 'em too hard and squished the o-ring out. doh! But I managed to replace them without too much trouble. Shot of the left side behind the LCD panel. Distribution blocks for supplying power to the led's and lcd's. What a mess! And a final teaser shot of the lcd panel up and running complete with DRADIS. :)
