I may well be in Cornwall next year, so if you end up with a turd on your doorstep, that was me

 

[funkysnair]

its fine cos you prob end up with a size 11 pushing it back up yer backside lol

 

[ScottALot]

I didn't know Vault 69 was close to here...

I'll be doing some soldering for each set of fans, but I don't think I'll be doing any molexes.

Not exactly sure why you masked off the front of the case that wasnt plastic, as well as the top, as when painting cases i prefer to paint the entire metal body for a uniform color.

 

[ScottALot]

We got a deal on this somewhat glossy black and if I painted the top and front it would clash with that bezel thing on the top, so I masked it to preserve that more rugged black.

IMO cases should always be painted in flat black for the inside, piano black isnt bad on the outside though.

Also, just realized if you get these fans unsleeved, they are only $3.95 each:

[ScottALot]

Yah I figured that out, too. It's convenient because I'll be doing that soldering.

Anyone know of a RAM cooler that is red/black? I understand the Dominator GT fan is like that, but I can't find it for sale anywhere. (Purely for aesthetics )

Pics tomorrow of the case reassembled!

mmm i see you have those new coolermaster excalibur fans. they any good? I was thinking of getting 2 for my side panel.

 

[ScottALot]

Well, I actually haven't had the Excaliburs spinning yet, but BBSK got some during testing.

Can someone contact that guy at HardForum with my email? I don't want to make an account just to buy one thing...
