Project: Afterburner

I'll have to look up marine tex. I was going to use bondo, but I have had bad past experiences with it. Is marine tex a two part mix?

I'll get some more pics up later once I start doing cutting and moulding on the top bezel.

Okay, get ready for a BIG one! Lots of pics and work done!

First, I got the top radiator panel made up.

Obviously, I need to do a lot of bondo and sanding on it, then paint! I also need some longer screws, the ones I bought were the right thread but about 1mm too short! A real shame.

Here is a great money shot showing off teh sexy AC Ryan Blackfire fans.

And finally, I got the side panel (partially) cut... my diamond bit blade ended up rounding off right on the home stretch :( I will be fixing that soon though. And of course, the top panel in all of its glory, fully mounted and locked to the top of the case!

And one more for yeh!

Suggestions, comments, questions, all are welcome!

Looks cool. Are you going to paint that plexi shroud? The glue marks on the seems are kinda unsightly.

be a pitty to paint it cuz it looks so cool but yea teh glue is un sexc!!! lol good work tho

Everyone keeps askign me this, and I keep typing it in the thread! There are more than pictures folks!

Hehe, anyways, I will be scraping off all the glue, and filling the corners with bondo, and rounding it off and sanding it until it looks like one solid piece, then I will be painting it. As I have stated, its a ROUGH piece, no where close to being done.

Sorry I must have skipped that part.

marine tex is a two part epoxy/filler. They have a few different products; look at their website

btw, I think the case is starting to look pretty good.

Hmmm...:think: Very similar to the design I had for my project. Unfortunately, it's been cancelled due to financial reasons (trying to keep my house...). Good luck with this project man. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Yes, I have teh pictures!

First, I got the top piece finished for the most part... there are still some grooves and ridges I have to take care of but this is where I am at thus far.

Sooooo smooth.

Here is how it looks in the back. That was the easiest part obviously.

Heres the wiring work that I did... I got all my wires fed through behind the mobo, the pump(s) are in place, its lookin great!

Heres the front, I am really happy with the wiring up here, it came out really clean... that silver thing above the HD's is an LED bar, it will illuminate the PALIT logo that will be on the front panel once it gets here.

I got some new hardware too!

Corsair Dominator DDR800

I also removed the LED from my Xfi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty edition... I didn't want that stinkin F on there.

And it all together thus far:

Let me know what you think!

nice work keep it up mate
