http://img32.exs.cx/img32/9113/facereadyforpaint.jpg
face readt for paint .. there is alot of epoxy holding the port (a 4" PVC union) and there were (styling lines down the face which i filled with bondo)


http://img32.exs.cx/img32/9596/closeupofduct.jpg
plose up of the duct (HEY RedX i FINALLY got the Evercoat Poloyester glazing puddy to stick


http://img32.exs.cx/img32/6447/back01.jpg
here is wher the fun began .. there was NO place for a rear fan, and i had some 120mm's so ... a piece of 1/2" plywood inside and 1/2" outside, with fiberglasss and bondo to level it out

http://img32.exs.cx/img32/8708/insideofback.jpg
thats the inside of the back ... notice i put a piece of f-glass down the part above where the expantion slots (mostly yo hold the bondo on the outside) don't want any air other thatn the front & rear 120's

way to go ed. i like the paintin you did on it. (im planning on painting my case, a better color, but its still gonna look like a pile of junk in comparison. the fan in front is really awesome. keep up the good work

[bodydrop4ek]

[[GF]Burke]

* Nice job Ed. What is that black material covering the intake fan?

it's stuff from walmart ... for in a window type AC unit ... it's a prefilter kind of stuff
it comes in like about 18X24" or so and was only $2. Works good too and is washable ... but you have to make sure it is COMPLETELY dry b4 you put it back in

* Krylon Fusion?*


not fusion .. regular Krylon "true blue gloss"

and i love the color too

[linlin]

Great color and an awesome job on the actual painting. Keep it up Edward.


Is that fan a 120mm or a regular 80mm?

[zeLupin]

Good job ed... Only thing i don't like is the loom....never liked that..always prefered sleeving, but it's your comp.

Keep it up :)

[TheDistur]

Nice color there Ed. Looking good, betcha can't wait to finish. :)

120mm's fron and rear ... they spin slower and make less noise for the same amount airflow

[WVJammer]

Nice job ed.
Great color.

Lookin sharp--those purple button supercases are my personal favorite modding victim as well. I've never modded a bezel that heavily.

Curious: do you still have the plastic bezel clips/tabs that hold it to the chassis? I seem to break mine off if I look at them and sneeze.

yeah the clips broke ... next time i take the bezel off i'll get another set of pics (CF card freeked on the origonal set) but i used 1" PVC cut the depth of the case, hot glued them in place and filled with poloyester resin .... held it up to the chassi and marked the 6 holes (2 on eack side twards the top) and my own in the bottom corners, ... then drilled them and put in 10-24 threaded inserts ... so now if you tried to take the bezel off without removing the screwes you'd need a hammer and chisel :)

[dworld]

lol about what u said with the hameer and chissle

Nice solution, I can definitely appreciate overkill. B)
