HUUUUGE update today :D
I got all the parts hung in the garage ready for primer and paint.
Here is the paint I used. It's from Arctic Cat. I saw a 4-wheeler come into my dealership in this color and immediately thought it'd be perfect for this mod! 3 cans of primer and 5 cans of paint later, it's all done!
And I was left with a whole lot of overspray dust to clean up as well.
Here are the front and top panels with the masking tape removed.
Next it was off with a box of rivets and my rivet gun to reassemble the case. I think it looks pretty damn good, no?
Then there was a point in time in the basement when I was just running through putting stuff together without snapping a whole lot of pics, but I did get some taken :D
Kingston 96GB SSD mounted to one of the hotswap trays.
And more assembly pics :D
Here you can see the side panel and it's windows and frames mounted. I also mounted the NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller into its place on the front side panel.
I also designed, etched and assembled a circuit board to hold the two RGB LCDs. The spacing is perfect so they fit centered into 2 5.25" bay covers.
I also got the plastic frames for the bay covers fit to the LCDs. Next I need to cut the foam filters and the outer mesh to fit the LCDs as well.
That's it for now!
