Neptune's Trident

I read through your worklog for my 1st time so have a bunch of comments lol.
The jigsaw work you done looks very very good, made me think about getting a good one as the one I own violently wrecks sheet metal so have to stick with my trusty dremel or metal shears for that kind of work, same with my drill it wobbles all over the place.
haha that is one hell of a nice idea to save space with the psu, I would not have thought of that, good one :).
That hdd rack is pretty damn nifty too I like.
Thanks for the heating up a screw trick for making a thread, should come in handy some time.
Ah very nice box seperators indeed :).
when you asked which one is better on the medallion or tridents, its a tough one to call they are both good, the sketchup you came up with for the tridents looked great.
what a great fit for the front IO, nice.
That middle panel, is that what I think it is, is it cnc'd plexi joint together for a water channel where you can plug barbs in either end instead of excessive tubing, if it is then wow 1st time I've seen anything like that, phenomenal :D.
I really like the pattern uv strips, very nice effect.
Oooh that blue paint is gorgeous, I need to buy myself a spray gun, air brush, already have a good air compressor
paint seems expensive but worth it from what I've seen, want to ditch cans.
Really extensive effort for hiding the wires, great stuff :)
Awesome gpu cover mods :)
Water droplet finnish too saaaweeeeet :).
Good work m8 good work.
I really look forward to getting my skills up so I can do my own WOW piece but it mostly comes with much practice hehe.

Well Bod, what can I say that hasn't been said already.. well I gunna say it anyway!!

This mod is the freakin COOLEST!!! The everything is top notch! Loving the paint job and I can't wait for the next damn update!! :D

Great work!

Thanks guys!

@ Waynio: thanks for all the cumulative comments there lol. Really provides a good synopsis of the whole build!

Mocked up the video card bottom plates last night...

That should hold you until I get back with the parts tonight! :D

Very nice man +rep

:stupid:

:stupid: just WAUW! :D

OMG, dude that is awesome, a great effect under UV. +rep

I got home late last night, but stayed up til the wee hours of the morning laying out all the parts and starting the re-assembly process.
After peeling off the masking, I got the two case halves put together and the wheels on, and now we have a rolling chassis!

I had painted the interior with the white/pearl prior to doing the exterior because I didn't want to see any white through the mesh.
Had to do extensive masking, but it was worth it!

I also got the power supply put back together (yes, I kept the factory decals :D )

Before buttoning up the psu, I realized the fan needed some work, since it would be visible from the back. So I took it apart, gave the blades the white/pearl treatment, and re-assembled it.
I discarded the wire grill and will mount my own Trident version.

Next step is mounting the motherboard tray back into the case, but I still need to make some holes for the cabling, and that is easier to do while it's out of the case.
So I will take care of that tonight. 'Til tomorrow!

Great job as always.
