Where Have All The Pictures Gone?! Ahhhhh!!!!
Mmmk, I took a break from tbcs for too long.. (school)
The first thing I did, upon returning to the forums here, was check out your mod. After reading through 15 pages worth of entertaining, stunning, and beautiful content, I have finally arrived to the present posts.
First off, amazing work! The case is almost done, and I'm loving it!:D
I read about your fan grill dilemma, and am glad that you put it on the outside, you definately need to show that bad boy off. Also, the grill is dark, so when you have the silver/white background it brings out the logo.
Is it just me or is your watercooling setup a little complicated? It just looks like it could be simplified or something. Since I know little about watercooling I will stand back and... learn.
Anywho, great work on the mod, and a.bird you're rediculous.
Well, I did get all 3 water blocks painted. And I'm about to set them up. I'll upload some shots tonight. On the workshop too. I know this is taking a long time. But I promise to finish this. :) Only one other mod that I know of (another site) is taking this long. I'll try not to get the record for the longest one. :) :)
**SLAP** sent to MDCS!!
Don't be silly! Take your time I mean the case looks brilliant atm after how long you have spent on it. Even if you did spent the same amount of time that you have already again, the end product will be the same high quality level it is now which would be brilliant!

I have 3 Zalman waterblocks. 2 of their low profile WB's for the GPUs,
and the gold plated CPU waterblock.
They will go on the FX60 and these cards.
Which were almost top of the line when I got them. Now they are about 6
down the line.:p
Painting ...
Started with self etching primer on all 3 waterblocks. Then about 3 light coats
of red so far ...
A few more coats ...
Finished painting ...
Now that the clear has cured. I can start putting the plumbing together;)
:)
And for the shots of the work area requested. No big deal really, and kind of
messy since I was painting the house and moving stuff into the garage while I
did it.
First, some paint left over from the house painting.
As you can see, by the time I was done (some rooms twice) I didn't care
about cleaning the brushes again:p I hope I don't have to do that again for
awhile.
A lot of the good stuff is in the cabinets.
Anyway ... some of the paint stuff ...
Side I do most cutting and big stuff.
From other side ...
Other side ...
Long shot ...
:)
Nice job on the paint! That looks excellent! :up:
Are you sure you have enough stuff? No, I think you need a bit more. lol Just messin with you. I wish I had all of that! I'd be a pretty happy camper. Maybe we should play the "I spy with my little eye" game? Hmmm, oh look! A PSU with a 120mm (80mm?) bottom intake fan! lol
Keep up the good work! Can't wait for those final pictures! The suspense is almost too much! :)

Very nice... the paint job on the water blocks match the case mod perfectly, Clean and sleek. Nice choice on your graphics card, althought i am swaying to ATI's side recently after their whole link up with AMD. As for your painting, since you seem to be so good at it, could you give some tips on how you could get such great results if you have a dirty garage? Everything i paint in my garage seems to have **** stick to it no matter how well i enclose it lol. Great mod
:D :D
I used to have the same problem. If you close the garage door, you get
fumes to no end (don't forget to use those respirators), and over-spray on
everything.
If you keep the garage door open, you get dust, pollen, bugs and annoy your
neighbors with paint fumes. Which is why I like the booth. No dust, no fumes
outside the booth (much:redface: ),no bugs, and no over-spray settling on
everything in the garage.
Did you try getting a drop cloth, getting underneath it, and spraying:D
Maybe make a little drop cloth pup tent:D :D
(and again, don't forget to use those respirators):D ;)
