Project : Bumble Bee

where do i begin? idk......

my past logs have been....well rather unlucky.

i have moved ALOT around this past year and 6 months, therefor i could not finish those many projects that i had started, and im sorry for that.

and im sorry for you guys who followed and cheered me up with your comments, it was very much appreciated.

but now i have finally settled for a good period i think i got a regular job, good GF, nice little apartment, car, what more can you really ask for?

now on to the project

i didnt want to start a log until now that im atleast 50% of the way, most things now are eyecandy, sleeving, details and such

the plan is to take my Corsair 600T, then paint the outer shell metallic yellow
yeah you heard me, YELLOW!!!!! and black!!! uuuuh yeah



lulz errrr


jk


the hw is following :

i7 2600K
8GB Vengeance
5870
ASRock z68 extreme 4 (to be bought), oh yeah, i love the look of that board, gold caps

HX850W fully sleeved(in progress)
OCZ Agility 3 60gb x2

going to get the case painted by auto painter since i cannot find metallic yellow on cans anywhere, and the end price will be around the same, 150$ for paint and around 100$ for cans, so i take pro painter with nice little metal flakes

I noticed you had the heatshrink over the back side of the sensor connectors on the fan controller. If these get plugged in side-by-side, then you might have some issues. The previous owner of my Lian Li mITX case did that with the front panel switch & LED connectors, but they would not plug in due to the heatshrink.

Man, it takes some gonads to buy a new case and chop the heck out of it. Looks like it's going to turn out super. Where are your HDDs going to go?
