[erocker]

You should use a hole saw for your fans. It's faster and very clean looking.:toast:

*Be sure to lay down some masking tape first too!

[klva80]

ya i know but i dont have one at the moment its 10 pm so i'll wait the morning to go get one :p

[klva80]

[MKmods]

It aint pretty but gets the job done. That must have taken a lot of holes.
( I remember before I had the hole saws and fancy tools doing the same thing, good job)

I tried a can opener once, didnt work so well, lol

[philbrown23]

what did you do that with??? sand the crap out of it it will look alot better. ;)

[jbunch07]

dude did you use a plasma cutter on that or what?
jk bro!

[klva80]

[klva80]

I am so waiting to see the finished product. If you need any ideas just ask.

[klva80]

[Cold Storm]

You took my bench from my house! how could you! lol... That looks pretty nice. Clean and bet its waiting on the next step!

[MKmods]

do you have some very fine sandpaper? (like 320 to 1000grit?) if so, once the primer is really dry you can lightly sand it.
That way when you put the top coat on it will look smoother.

(if you get a chance to watch expert car painters they put several coats of primer sanding between each one to make the surface smooth)

very true i spend a couple days sanding and priming the fender on my old jeep!
the end result looked amazing though!

what color are you going with for the finish ?

[klva80]

thx mk for the tip, i was thinking on painting it dark blue or metallic dark blue since my leds and cfl are blue, but any suggestions are welcome :)

[jbunch07]

thx mk for the tip, i was thinking on painting it dark blue or metallic dark blue since my leds and cfl are blue, but any suggestions are welcome :)

dark metalic blue would look really nice!

[MKmods]

LOL, it seems like we are all always painting the cases black. It would be nice to see a metalic blue one for a change.

[jbunch07]

LOL, it seems like we are all always painting the cases black. It would be nice to see a metalic blue one for a change.

i thought about doing a pearl white case once ... but it would prob show dust and stuff allot

[JrRacinFan]

Check out rockstar's case in the logs MK! So far I love it!

[klva80]

how about some yellow :P that would be unique i think :cool:

[JrRacinFan]

Yellow? Hmmm ... I do have an idea for you but unsure of how elaborate you would like to get. Gradient 2 tone yellow and black.

[jbunch07]

how about some yellow :P that would be unique i think :cool:

gradient would look good but how bout blue with yellow accents?

[klva80]

how coul i make a gradient to make some test on my dummy case :cool: and see how it would end

[JrRacinFan]

Here lemme give you an example ...
http://img.techpowerup.org/080406/Capture007435.jpg
Mind you this is just a quick sketch up with MS paint.

[klva80]

i was thinking of painting the floor fan in some yellow caterpillar or orange tomcat, what do you think guys with the interior being dark metallic blue?

[MKmods]

Normally if you said Blue with orange I would say "are you crazy?":eek:

But I saw a comp that was orange with blue inside and it REALLY looked beautiful in person

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y224/dexcarm89/12u-02Large.jpg
(his name is dexaroni at PDXLAN, and in person I just freaked out when I saw it)

Colors are a very personal thing, its important YOU like it because you are the one that needs to look at. I am very conservative in my colors, but you will never know what you like till you try it.
(besides that is why they invented paint remover, for those mistakes, lol)

[jbunch07]

i was thinking of painting the floor fan in some yellow caterpillar or orange tomcat, what do you think guys with the interior being dark metallic blue?

that would look good!
so i imagine anyway

[klva80]

Ok guys I'm thinking of the front eyes of my side panels (the blue things that in my case are black) and put some mesh instead matching the inner color but since a don't have moder mesh, i was thinking about some mosquito mesh but any suggestions are welcome

http://img.techpowerup.org/080407/ninja_BlackSIDE570.jpg

[klva80]

ok so far still sanding and priming i think at this pace i'll be painting it tomorrow morning

[MKmods]

When you dont have access to modders mesh screen or netting works too. Use what you have.:cool:

[klva80]

should i sand the different layers of paint to ?

[MKmods]

should i sand the different layers of paint to ?

If the paint you are using is Enamel, NO.

if its Lacquer you can if its rough. Lacquer paint dries VERY fast (in 10 to 15 min) Enamel paint can take weeks to dry (outside is dry but the inside is soft)

[klva80]

ok so far i think its ready to take the paint

http://img.techpowerup.org/080408/DSC00143.jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/080408/DSC00144.jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/080408/DSC00145.jpg

[MKmods]

Nice Job so far.

[klva80]

time to sleep, sun is awaiting me :p ill consult with the pillow more mods :laugh:

[MKmods]

[klva80]

http://img.techpowerup.org/080408/DSC00149 (Large).jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/080408/DSC00150 (Large).jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/080408/DSC00151 (Large).jpg

[Cold Storm]

I do like the color that you have it as! Pretty nice so far man!

[MKmods]

that is a nice blue. Does the place where you bought the blue have Clear paint too?

[klva80]

don't know have to check, in case a find clear, how should i proceed

[klva80]

ok some fans

http://img.techpowerup.org/080409/DSC00152 (Large).jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/080409/DSC00153 (Large).jpg

those fans are going to be painted still thinking the colors

[JrRacinFan]

No offense, turn the fan around on the bottom or you will have cool air blowing out. Also, orange for the fans.

[klva80]

fixed, yhea iw as thinking on orange too but how about deep blue the frame and orange the blades

[klva80]

ok i removed the floppy cage and cut out a port for a 80 mm fan

http://img.techpowerup.org/080410/DSC00154 (Large).jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/080410/DSC00155 (Large).jpg

[MKmods]

interesting, looking forward to seeing whats next.

[klva80]

next it making the cable management and make a front mesh cover of the floppy bays

http://img.techpowerup.org/080410/DSC00156 (Large).jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/080410/DSC00157 (Large).jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/080410/DSC00159 (Large).jpg

[InnocentCriminal]

You should remove the rear honey-comb grill for better exhausting.

^^

[jbunch07]

looks great so far! cant wait to see end product!
oh and yea i agree with InnocentCriminal...that would help exhaust flow

[MKmods]

Like InnocentCriminal said if you cut out the center of the section you can improve the fans performance by 50% and more.

Same with the front fan, notice how there is a bit of metal blocking the air thats trying to get into it.

[klva80]

the cables lots of them :p

http://img.techpowerup.org/080411/DSC00161 (Large).jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/080411/DSC00162 (Large).jpg

http://img.techpowerup.org/080411/DSC00163 (Large).jpg

tooo dam long the cables

[commandercup]

nice sata cable hehe

but dude, paint your fans? maybe paint the blades blue and leave the frame black or the otherway around

[klva80]
