Re: Project: Arctic Cat
no I didn't bother with mold release. I should have though :facepalm: but it's ok, I've got plenty of usable parts :D
The last thing I used the resin for was to make resin ice cubes with LEDs in them and put them in a glass. I didn't use any release on the ice cube tray and they popped right out, so I figured this would do the same.
Yea I was amazed as well when it showed up and I actually got to tearing it down. it's very well built and solid :bowdown:

Damn. I ended up eating dinner tonight and then watched a movie. Unfortunately, said movie was playing on the back of my eye lids. Give me a call tomorrow afternoon if you have some time.

Re: Project: Arctic Cat
Update time!
After reading CJ's review on the Xigmatek fans, I decided to get my hands on some. 2 200mm green LED fans and 1 140mm straight blade green LED fan.
Now the issue with these 200mm fans is they're actually bigger than the 200mm NZXT fan that came out. Also, the mounting holes are not the standard 200mm mounts like the NZXT ones are. So either these ones are wrong or the NZXT ones are.
Here's the difference:
These are the mounts on the Xigmatek's. The drilled hole is on the right, and the undrilled notch that is needed to put these in the Phantom is on the left. I ended up drilling out the 4 of these so I could mount these fans, but that's minor.
Now the second issue with these fans. They're a touch wider than the NZXT ones, and don't fit in without some gentle manipulating.
And turned on.
Next I mounted the 140mm straight blade fan in it's place so you can see how the lighting looks for the front of the case.
And a shot with the fans lit and the side panel on. This thing's going to look killer :D
Now the lighting is a bit bright from the outside, but I've got a neat idea that will dress up the vents and also let a little less light outside the case and should make it a little more aesthetically appealing.

Looks awesome! Those really are massive fans. :D ...just...please, for the love of god, turn the rear one 90 or 180 degrees counterclockwise...PLEASE!! It's driving me nuts! :freakedout:

The clock is on the ceiling...obviously...I really need to start proofreading my posts... :whistler:
