So will it be powder or pro painting?

2lowSniper · Apr 14, 2009

I haven't decided yet. I've done some pretty sweet paintjobs myself but that was on lexan for RC Nitro truck bodys but still I might attempt it myself just go slow & if I make a mistake i'll fix it. Nothing worse than saying hey look at my case & there's a big run in the paint totally visible lol.

Nice case and all but missing dust filters.

2lowSniper · Apr 14, 2009

Dust filters don't mean a pinch of shit. Anyone who can't blow some dust out should should look for a new hobby lol. Every hobby has maintenance & that's one of them. Dust filters to me are a royal pain & impede air flow.

Rock God · Apr 14, 2009

I myself hate dust inside a case, even dust that's the size of an ant, I must then get dust filters. I like my cases to look clean even after 6-8 months without cleaning.

Nice job man!Is the mobo tray removable cos i havent stripped down mine yet...?
I am waiting for money for the paint since i ll give it the best paint i can find around.
So is it removable or did u just cut it out like the HDD cage?

2lowSniper · Apr 14, 2009

Had to drill out the rivets. What paint are you using out of curiosity?

BumbleBee · Apr 15, 2009

which other components are riveted in, might want to tell people to save them some pain. a lot of people don't like how cooler master used hex screws for the fans because you need a allen key annoying.

2lowSniper · Apr 15, 2009

The only thing with hex heads were the fan screws though. The mb tray & both cages were pop riveted in. simple 1/8th drill bit took care of those easy enough.

theorw · Apr 15, 2009

I dunno about the paint,i ll ask an xtreme store here about it but as for the hex screws i found one of the top fans was loose and i tightened it in with a normal screw driver!

I put UV lights in my case yesterday!I ll post pics next week as soon as i get my new cybershot!I t looks great with the DFI reactive slots and everything...Just wait!

What are you using for replacements? I popped off the top of mine for radiator installation (and future maintenance), replaced with pan head sheet screws... problem is the pan heads got in the way with the doors and plastic on the front, had to whittle some metal and plastic away with the trusty dremel.

I want to pain mine too, but not sure how to go about it/what to use.

SystemViper · Apr 15, 2009

you can also buy them from performance PC for 400 already painted,.

I love this case. I look forward to see what you decide.

I want one and don't think i can spend an extra 250 just for the inside painted, I can do that myself and just be very carefull so it doesn't flake... Won't be as sweet as real powercoating , but that extra 250 buys a gtx275...

I also think i would do the white tube and white fanblade design with this baby,.,,,

oh it;s so sweet!

2lowSniper · Apr 15, 2009

Yes SV your right but I'm going UV blue in mine as I already have all the gear from a different project that I sold the case to cause I lost interest lol.

I picked up the paint & sandpaper today along with a rivet gun to put it back together. Don't have black rivets but oh well that's what an industrial marker is for lol.

BumbleBee · Apr 15, 2009

I think a black matte finish with chrome fan guards, standoffs, screws, rivets, feet, etc would look hot. check out Bill's new thumbscrews

2lowSniper · Apr 15, 2009

I saw those pretty cool for sure! He's got some awesome stuff no doubt!

BumbleBee · Apr 17, 2009

ouch how much did you take them all in for? isn't Dartmouth where they film trailer park boys?

2lowSniper · Apr 17, 2009

It's a big place. I didn't steal anything. This case was bought the same day I sold mine before you bought my pumps that you now don't want so you'll have to wait till I come up with the money to give back I guess as I don't have it whatsoever atm.

I didn't steal anything. I was sick for almost a week & wasn't able to ship the pumps out so he changed his mind & wanted his money back. I don't have it right now to give him so don't know what else to tell him. Soon as I do have it he'll get it back. I'm no theif. For the record the same thing happened with the 9800GTX+ I sold but it was cause I didn't have the screws for the stock cooler my buddy that I bought it off did & it took him forever to get them to me so cause it took so long he didn't want the card anymore. So I told him soon as I sell it(at a loss to me) then he will get his money back & he will. I'll be sending the rad out once I get his address as well.

To answer your question yes this is where the TPBs is filmed & yes I've partied with them before a few times. Randy is the coolest of them all.

BumbleBee · Apr 17, 2009

so how much do you owe collectively?

2lowSniper · Apr 17, 2009

Not sure really it isn't alot. once my 260 card sells & one of my other things then it'll be taken care of. I wouldn't have had a problem shipping them their parts but they didn't want them so nothing I could do.

ShadowFold · Apr 17, 2009

Can you do a little tutorial on getting the HDD cage removed? I plan on doing the same thing :toast:

2lowSniper · Apr 17, 2009

It's already done so pics aren't able to be taken but it's pretty straight forward. You'll need a drill with 1/8th drill bit to zip out the 6 rivets on the bottom from underneath & 4 at the bottom of the drive bay cage then it slips right out.

BumbleBee · Apr 17, 2009

are you guys going to put them back in 90' or leave them out?

ShadowFold · Apr 17, 2009

I personally have a HDD cage thing that fits into the CD drive bay that also supplies a fan so I will be using that for sure when I get my HAF :toast:

I'm hoping today or Saturday
