Basically its called project zalman 2 because of the new zalman 2 watercooling kit... Which i will be buying in the near future... SO! i woke up this morning and thought to my self... lets get spray painting!

So i decided to spray the inside black... To help the Mobo etc stand out!

But first i had to sand down my failing attempt of the outside..!

And spray the inside part of the case :)

Inside of the two i sanded down...

So a good job for a couple of hours.... Sanding spray took AGES!

Ah well the outside is to be painted next... I shall photoshop those 2 images to see what it will look like and host them....

Also you might see i made another forum.... Would you delete the last 1 ^^ thank you... Comments would be nice :P

Looks pretty cool. On the first picture you posted.. did the case come like that? Are you gonna leave that there and just paint over it?

How are you gonna get those pieces chrome?

Is it the Reserator 2 you'll be buying? I was thinking of getting one so I'd be interested to see how you get on with it. Are you integrating it with the case or just leaving it as a separate unit?

I've seen it done before. I think it looks pretty cool. How much room do you have under your case?

Damn Youngblood. I've heard of double posts, but quadruple posts?! Dude!

I think neons would look pretty sweet under the case, it's been done before, and with good results.

How many fans do you plan on putting in the front of the case.

And when you post pictures could you just post the direct link to the image, the page loads faster when you do that.

Yeah, I guess he got you there.

Not like it really matters though, this is a worklog, and if nobody said anything and you're going to update, you can't really just edit a post from a few days ago :/.

Looking good so far though!

Although the last pics you posted were kinda blurry... nothing too bad, but a tad hard to see.

NICE... keep on modding :)

on a side note, no phone i've seen can take decent photos in the dark.. not yet that is.. a good dedicated camera is needed for that.. u should see the pics i've made with my phone at night.. they totally suck :( only a camera can capture fine details and subtle nuances in dark conditions :(
