My Red Xaser3 Case

[sixshot666]

ok the story:
i needed a bigger case with more room.after looking around i found the
Xaser III V1000+.bought it at newegg for $113 plus $18 shipping(its heavy).
when it finally arrived i opened it up and took it out(did i mention its heavy)
looked at it and noticed it was 3 shades of blue <_< .what to do,what to do.
ooohh yeah ill paint that thing B) .i decided on red because they dont come in red.
after taking it apart(14+ pieces),primer,sanding,painting,and putting it back together it was finally done :D minus some inperfections.
thanks to RedXray im able to load up some pics :D .
ill post some more when i make a 120mm top exhaust.

Nice man!

now just pop off the ROM drive face plates and paint them.

nice "fanwich" ;)

[sixshot666]

i thought about doing that but decided not too.
when i get a chance im gonna paint the bare metal on the front black.
i also changed my water out and now its red and the ti4200 is out and replaced with an ati 9800xt.
if you notice in the pic of the drivebay door open i used a long screw for the door hinge on the bottom.the bay res is sweet for filling and bleeding.

next step in my case mod.only thing left is to drill holes for the top exhaust an cut out the back case fan grills.

Are you planning to put any windows on it?

[sixshot666]

no window(s).for some reason im not into windows.

[JonR]

Paint the bay bus blue parts to match!

[Thecookiemonster]

Very nice man, its pretty cool. Yea id paint that bay bus

and a prob with those fan controlers. They have so many wires. So it look sorrda bad with a window.

[Marty1]

its pretty messy in there right now but im gonna try to do better.
baybus will be painted later too cold outside.

[Thecookiemonster]

Its prolly that bay bust thats so messy, it sucks due to the fact that you have to have 4 4-pin things into the PSU, then 4 things into the fan them self, then 4 into the 3-pin things. So many wires, and so little space.

no window(s).for some reason im not into windows. yeah I perfer linux myself aswell :blink: oh wait yeah I see what you mean though the look gets tired and it isn't that impressive im mean its not like i haven't seen that a thousand times before
