Man that looks HOT, the cover is awesome. Nice work there. +rep

Thanks for the kind words guys!

I got the holes planned out today, I am going to run dual fillports and a bulgin power switch, so I need to drill those holes today.

I also got sponsored by, as far as I am concerned, the best Water Cooling company there is, Danger Den! Big thanks to those guys.

My box of goodies should be here today, and I will be sure to promptly post pictures of me hacking brand new WC parts.

Lucky you. I need a new pump, my current one probably won't stand the third radiator I want to add to the loop lol.

THREE rads in one loop?! Gotta see that.

Today, I am making the LCD bezel (for the case), getting the holes drilled for my fillports and buttons and LED's, and IF my Danger Den box comes.... well then you are REALLY going to like what you see tonight.

Yeah man. An 80mm, 120mm and 240mm lol. That's why I recon I need the new pump lol.

I got a fair bit of work done so far this weekend:

First, I got a ROUGH outline for the LCD placement done, as well as drilled holes for the fillports and power button.

Next, I got the side panel painted and trimmed... window will be coming soon.

Close up shot of the paint... what looks like damage is actually the metal flakes in the paint reflecting light.

And, the money shot of my PC, the new front panel custom designed by myself in association with Danger Den. Thanks again to them, and thanks to Palit for the great video card sponsorship! Hear me out, these cards really are great, Palit deviates from reference design at times, in order to get maximum performance, and it shows!

And here is a shot of it all together so far.

Wiring comes up next week, buying mobo monday, video cards coming soon, nearing the finishing steps here :)

That window trim looks very schmik...may I ask where you got it from? Mod is looking great, love the paint.

The trim is from Autozone, its just normal car window/ door trim.

Thought it looked familiar lol.
