Nice find. +rep.
wow thats pretty cool :) i may try that someday.
This is cool, I was debating on powercoating some of my projects but decided agains because of the money. Maybe if they are aluminum I could do this instead. I bet this would be real cool in my car too.
Does anyone know how I can check if something is aluminum or steel without damaging whatever I am testing? I think the case I was thinking of may be steel in which case this won't work.
Are you serious???Quote:

What Bucko Said....magnet Test!:? :bunny: :banana:
My bad, I have 1000 other things to think/care about besides the properties of steel. Thank you for answering the question and making my life a little easier.
That is pretty crazy and very involved. So extreme I like it. If you where gonna do a case panel you would need a lot of sulfuric acid.
Im just imagining someone dying his whole computer case frame... LOL
Lots and lots of sulfuric acid, and a HUGE container! :P
rubbermaid to the rescue!!! lmao ummm where do u get sulfuric acid from ?

Thanks for the info DrumThumper & the link to an example of a annodised case Sirkillalot617 :) can you do this to waterblocks also without any issues?
well you could drill out all the rivites and then you wouldn't need as big of a container or acid.
As far as I know you can anodize waterblocks, but for maximal heat transfer I would not anodize the surfaces contaction the chip or the water.Quote:

Alright thanks for the info :)
