I got some putty and sandpaper to clean up the front panel:

I am going to try out this really neat looking trim... it was pretty cheap and looked good.

And some paint... what is the masking tape for I wonder...

The rough edges:

I installed Vista on the system last night. I will post pics of the system in its "finished" state when I get home.

You dont say...

Installing windows with a PS2 keyboard

And enjoying my new system..

My cpu is around 25 load, which is good, but not accurate. The waterblock I have is designed for quad cores, and the video card is not in the loop yet.

I will be doing all the benchmarks and final photo shoots when the final hardware is in it. Right now it is a bit of a franken PC.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Just wanted to let you know this project is on Hiatus. I just moved into my first House, so money is going to be tight for a few months. I am actually going to restart the project, I wanted to so it perfect, so I have to restart. I am going to get the chassis powercoated Gloss black, paint the front bezel gloss black as well.

I decided that the Crysis theme wasn't working, so I am going to make the computer match my samsung monitor.

Anyways, I'll be bumping this from time to time to keep it from dropping off the list.

Does anyone know a good website where I can buy whole sheets of carbon fiber (stiff), and at a low price?, and a good place in portland where I can get some inexpensive powdercoating done?

The carbon fiber would be best if it was able to be custom cut. The sheet I need would have to be around 30x30 inches, which costs a TON of money, but I would only need about a third of the material itself.

Thanks in advance!

Bumping it back up.

I won 5th place at the PDXLAN mod competition, my computer will be featured in CPU magazine as well

I'll get pics up as soon as I have them myself, I finished it the night before PDXLAN, so the only pics of it finished are in CPU magazines hands, so I am waiting on them at this point.
