no, I was supposed to get pics today, but I didn't sleep last night, and now what ever I hear goes right through, and I don't grasp anything...

Ash :p
What 800w is not good enough? Its bad that it is over 1HP!!!! But I need 1100w now? Dual Enermax 550w pushing 72AMP on the 12v line?Quote:

Ash :p
Seems a little overkill :D
Outside of getting high in my garage and making sure one of the cars are not parked in its location (painting / drying)... I think this project is bigger then I thought...
Does anyone know of any good review sites for painting? I am still sanding and repainting test panels.. I think I am going to go with the RED Anodized color...
Heck even the silver primer color is nice :D
EDIT:
Some test colors :)

BTW, I like the Red tooooo.
Modding and quiet potential ...that's a nice combo'
All those paint samples looked pretty good. The top one appeared to have the most consistent finish, but I prefered the other two colours :)
You could use a lot of auto-type parts in a project like this, given the dimensions.
For example, you could not only watercool, but could replace practically the whole rearside door with a humungous low profile radiator to have almost passive cooling potential ...then use a huge, low profile, low rev fan to move just enough air to do the job :D
I'd probably never look at a fan anywhere else on that monster that was less than 120mm it's so big ..and hence the bonus of using bigger, slower fans.
When you get it, take a laptop, a paper, and a nice comfy chair and sit inside it during a quiet time, I'm sure the relaxation and the intimate surroundings will prompt further ideas :D
Good luck ...great potential ...and the house extension to home it would make a nice follow-up feature ...LOL, couldn't resist.
I like the red best.. But the flash on the camera doesnt show off the true color of the paint job...

Also I added a link with a couple of pics in my sig...
The next piece If am test painting is a larger piece.. With sanding between 2 coats of primer and between each layer of paint...
Going to see how that works out...
I want a paint coat like this!!!!!

Just thought ...you speak about a 'parts bin / toolbox' type scenario ...you could have enough sppace there too, to put a decent sized networking switch or router in there too up the top ...there's seemingly no end to what could be done lol!
I like those anodised finishes though ...some almost have a near poweder-coated type of texture to them ...if you look at some of the nice West Coast Custom Harleys of years past when powder coating became fashionable, they had some great gunmetal and solid colour effects ...but which not only shined with almost mirror finish ...they appeared nicely textured too.
Have to say, I'm too boring, all my PC's are silver or black ...well, except for the one painted in WRC Subaru Impreza Blue and Gold!
But I don't have that any more.
I got my 4 caster legs on order and some fun items :D
But the red color is sweet.. The camera cannot take a good picture of it... It saturates the red :(
But I am following this great, awesome painting guide and it works wonders!
I have done 4 coats of paint! with light sanding inbetween...
some more pics :)
That window is almost as large as my Antec side panel!

I am not really a good artist for painting :D
I was looking for a stencil of some X-Men characters to paint on or some dragons...
Door...
http://home.comcast.net/~blah/case/images/door.jpg
That is the front door that will keep my little girl out :D
The piece of the right (silver wave thing) is a add on piece that I removed and I dont want it to be red like the rest of the case...
What color do you think would look good there? on that piece?
Painting while the superbowl is on!!!!
The only time to case mod!
I dont need to watch that ummm... trash :D
Mod is much more fun! I got most of the case painted outside of the main frame...
EDIT:
I feel I killed quite a few brain cells! I even had the garage doors open!!!
How can any person sniff this crap! (I watch Cops :D)
I was amazing how I got a pm about this case... I have really been a bad person and have not touched it at all :(
I sometimes fly through projects, but this one i do want to finish, since it is taking a large portion of my garage.
Maybe I will have some updated picture in a few days. The whole case atm is tapes and primed, I need to prime it a few more times and let it dry a few days inbetween.
So mods, forgive the rise of a old/dead thread :D
:( :( All this time and no new PICS :( :(
Come on MOD that case will ya!;)
