stealthfighter · Sep 7, 2006, 03:14 AM

Everything about yur case is so schmexy... love the hardware...

t_ski · Sep 7, 2006, 01:32 PM

Most cases are held together with pop rivets. You take them apart by drilling out the center of the rivet from the outside. To put them back together you need new rivets and a pop rivets gun. Here's a link to read up on:

Should give you enough details to get you going.

t_ski · Sep 7, 2006, 01:36 PM

And yes, you should lightly sand, then prime any bare metal before you paint it. Most paints will not stick to bare metal.

DR.Death · Sep 7, 2006, 05:46 PM

ok thanks i am going to get the stuff to do it and then i will start some time befor i go back to school

DR.Death · Sep 8, 2006, 02:47 AM

Hmmm, that paint job doesn't seem to be perfect. Just my call.

technicks · Sep 9, 2006, 11:58 AM

Not perfect?

No man just kidding. I know how hard it is to spray with that kind of paint

pt · Sep 9, 2006, 01:31 PM

Here you can look at how it's done. It's in Dutch but there are some pictures with it.
It gives you an example how to do it.

What is that case? I like it a lot!

drade · Sep 9, 2006, 10:33 PM

its ok

infrared · Sep 9, 2006, 10:35 PM

The front panel looks nice, i don't usually like cases with a door completely across the drive bays, but that one looks ok.

BTW, nice attempt on the paint job, i think if you sanded it down with the finest wet/dry paper you can get hold of, the polish it with T-cut or Mer polish and it'll be awsome!

DR.Death · Sep 9, 2006, 10:41 PM

ya that what i am goign to do i just need to get the stuff and do it the other mstake i made was i did not prime the outer panals but it went on fine
