So there wasn't as much to update on. Since I don't have the most recent pictures on my digital camera. I thought I did. So here is what I have. Its the red paint portion of this adventure. So here is what I have. Now that I'm semi settled from the move.
All of the tape is removed. Just imagine that the primer is black. I have a new idea for the other side, but I have to see if it can be done first. For whoever reads this, thanks for sticking in there.
IDK if you already bought your CPU but, I wouldn't go with the Intel E6600. I have it and its WAYover priced. Mostly it will sell for $279 or $229
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115028 = 3 GHz CPU for $279
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115029 = 2.66 GHz for $195
Better processors for less dough.
Hope it helps and the look is sweet!!
Okay. So after all of this time my move is mostly finished. Well finished enough that I don't feel guilty about spending so me time. So I picked up my case from my parents house and brought it home...
Thats when I realized that one side of the case is made to have windows and one side is made to be solid. So when I painted it, I painted the solid panel to be on the left side of the case. And if I weren't a total moron I would have realized that the left side of the case had the window and a fan on it and the right side should be solid. Who would want to see the sheet metal. And how would a fan cool anything if I couldn't get the panel on with the fan attached.
So all of that painting. To be honest I wasn't as happy as how it turned out, but I wasn't fully done with it yet. But now no matter what I have to start over. I'll try and get some pics up tonight so you can see what I mean.
A little blurry but you can see that there are 2 different thicknesses of black. I was going to try and sand it.
The left side didn't turn out too bad. Needs another coat of black and some clear. But that window opens directly into the frame of the tower.
Forgive the off centerness of this picture. A sneeze was on its way and I didnt feel like retaking it with my crappy camera. But the yellow paint bubbled and I think I put it on too thick.
An example of this on the wrong side of the case.
So I'm not sure what to do now. I could do something on the other panel...but I don't really know. I should have done something before I painted it. So I'm looking for some advice.
