:alien:

Ihaaa!!!

As is too thick to MOBO support.. the solution: :cool:

Final:

But something is missing...

Ohhh yeahh!!! The Polish!!! :whistler:

I made only eight covers :dead: It took all day!! =O Requires much patience!!
Do not try to do if they are tired ! unless you want to break everything ahahah

lookin good. neat idea on the expansion slot covers. I'm not a huge fan of the window being on the outside of the side panel though, doesn't quite look right

Very nice plexi work. I love the PCI covers. +rep

Thanks so much guys!!!

Step 4!!

The Paint!!

First the Interior!!!

I used the Lamborghini Chiaro Blu color!! The details of this color are amazing!!!! ;)

:banana::banana:

And now... Exterior!!

Toyota Black Pearl + silver paint diluted in varnish = Massive Details!! 8-)

All black in the shade!!

But in the Sun :p:p

I did a simple video to show the paint effetcs, look :up:

nice paint job. I wouldn't sacrifice all those fan spots on my HAF, but it's still a cool idea. BTW, thanks for telling me about a really good blue paint ^__^

I LOVE the window on the outside. how's it attached?

Very good plexi skills.

The loss of fans wouldn't concern me personally, panel fans tend to disrupt proper airflow anyways and I wouldn't be surprised if he actually got better cooling performance by closing off the side. Check this out.

In doing research for my own little project I've come to the conclusion that case manufacturers really don't care all that much about airflow... They just want to do whatever it takes to get your money... Placebo cooling FTW. :D



More on topic though awesome PCI covers, I'm definitely gonna have to try that some time, +rep for the awesome idea. :up:

Very very cool!

Love the PCI covers and dremel skills that you have are pretty awesome!

Case is looking very good man.

Thanks !!!! In my project the airflow will not be injured, my idea is: One CM Megaflow 200 (modded to blue leds) in the frontal panel, two Blue CM Silent UV Fans on top to exaust and one Blue CM Silent UV on back to exaust.. :banana:

FYI, if you go to get it mixed somewhere, the colour code is 154922 and it is sometimes called blu spark :p

You seriously polished those capacitors?? Awesome detail. Wow:)

I would break them right off if I tried it. I do not have a steady hand at all.

That paint is beautiful, nice job! This will be sweet when it's done.

wow... amazing attention to detail dude. Love the paint too!

x88x; slaveofconvention; billygoat333 Thanks so much guys :D

Guys!!!! new ups!!!

at now.. MDPC SLEEVE !!!

:banana:

I have buyed 30m of small sleeve and 5m of Sata sleeve in AQUAMARINE-BLUE color:

and 30m of small sleeve and 5m of Sata sleeve in BLACK color:

Pin-Remover by MOLEX:

5 fans conectors and Rivet Countersunk Head - BLACK

My sleeve face:

:rolleyes:

Well.. go to sleeve!!!

The vitim!!

MUA-HA-HA!! (6)

When I was removing the pins, I forgot the finger on the way :facepalm:

DAMMM!!!!!!

:mad:

That HURTS!!!!!

LOOK THIS!!!! :dead:

Backing.. :P

The fans..

Well.. the PSU :lol:

24pin + 2x 12v 4 Pin:

All finished

Testing..

:banana:

Well.. The DVD drive broke completely clean appearance. To correct this, I have a small solution:

Cuted Cover Bay:

The metal color after the cuts are very ugly combined with the black, to correct without having to paint everything, I went to manicure box of my sister and I stole a black enamel.

:devil: Hohohohohohoho :devil:

The result is this:

Perfectly!

To complete:

Neon Sound Control

Looks great, I love the sleeving. :D ..bad luck on the finger though...

Very nice!!! :up:
