Ooooo how exciting,

I can't wait to see the outcome of this...

TotalChaos · May 3, 2011, 02:47 AM

I'm not sure I am going to like it but time will tell. These things just happen when you find 2 full spray cans of chrome buried in the basement.

sniviler · May 3, 2011, 04:24 AM

looks good, i'm thinking of modding a phantom for my wife, gonna go yellow and black .

TotalChaos · May 3, 2011, 04:31 AM

I think that will look nice

TotalChaos · May 3, 2011, 04:53 AM

sniviler · May 3, 2011, 08:04 AM

try this for the pin strips http://www.testors.com/products/136581 or you could mask it and spray it.

chrome doesn't look bad =]

Very nice progress TC! I like that you left the front vent black and painted the trimming instead. First black/ silver Phantom that I have seen. Looks awesome

TotalChaos · May 16, 2011, 03:52 AM

it was silver but i didn't like it

Thanks for posting peet!

so how quite are is this case? and are the temps decent?

sneekypeet · Jun 1, 2011, 05:33 PM

Case only has the 3 fans...if you fill the hard drive bays, things can get a touch warm. When I looked at it, I left the trays in and only installed on drive. Cooling is sufficient, but not top end, as the speed of the fans are like 1200RPM.

Damn thing is quiet as a mouse!
To really tell how loud the case was I had to set the fan controller to position III and turn the Swifty air cooler down so I could tell what noise was what.

Only issue I had was aligning the screw holes for the expansion cards. Seems its tweaked a bit out of square and makes you really force the rear panel in to get the thumbscrews to line up with a card.

(FIH) The Don · Jun 6, 2011, 11:36 AM

anyone seen this?

for some insane reason i like it

TotalChaos · Jun 6, 2011, 01:39 PM

thats but ugly unless you are a girl, then it might be cool

EvolvA · Jun 6, 2011, 01:57 PM

I think it's ugly even for a girl, unless the girl likes Hellow Kitty or something like that...

Good man. I love my Vulcan.

Just need to get a new Micro-ATX board. Someday.

TotalChaos · Jun 6, 2011, 08:55 PM

i recommend getting the 200mm fan for the side panel as there seem to be be dead spots with poor airflow without it
