Well dan,

I read on the reviews at Overclockers and most people said thay they actualy look more pinky than red lol.....dunno what to get.

I might go green or blue,not sure :cool:

Anyway heres the progress so far,ive been busy with other things today so didnt realy get much time to do all that much.

Ive cut the one hole in the middle of the mobo tray,on the right side.
Dunno if you can see it or not?

+ sprayed it all over black (as you can see lol)

I decided not to go ahead with the removing of the stock case fan grills,they were actualy big enough and i dont think its stops alot of air from the fans so il leave them be.

:rolleyes: Thats only a first coat...i think two may do it then il apply the Clear Gloss finish to protect the black spraypaint.

Tks man,

Yeah when i first got this case i wasnt realy intrested in modding it but after i saw the pics some people have posted it looks so much better.

You should do it man,i see from your siggy you already have a side window on yours so thats one less thing you have to do.

Im going to cut my panel tommorow for the plexi glass.

It looks there like a gloss black..you may want to do a flat black, as glossy black is going to show every fingerprint, dust, and reflect light, which means much more maintanence to keep it looking good.

Okay its 90% finished....system internals is all back together,ive got to cut my door tommorow and put my glass in,Then it should be done!



Moved the 120mm fan from the bottom to the middle as an intake as it did nothing where it was...coolermaster let it fail a bit there.

Now it will blow over my GFX card :)

I tell you now guys,This was not easy cable managment at all.....again my psu cables are very short but with about 10 diffent wire layouts everything managed to go where it had too.
