    Time to fix this mistake! This happened when my dremel broke ages ago - the carbide bit grabbed when it died and dragged itself along the top.



    Yeah, not pretty!



    Bring on the JB Weld.









    At the time of posting this is still has about another 13 hours of curing until I can sand it back down.



    Here is a picture from one of the first updates in the log - the custom hard drive bay. I am not happy with that grill on it - too blocky and clumsy.



    So i dremelled it off and polished all the edges up!







    Cheeky revision break before installing it.



    And a quick check on the JB Weld - it is now touch dry.



    I think this looks much better than before - doesn't break it up too much. I think it will look great with 4 identical Samsung F3's in there and an SSD in the top one.







    Now there really won't be any work until the weekend - exam mode!

    Nasty scratch you got there...I'm always surprised at how thick the top panel of that case is...

    Nice work. I like the new drivecage look much better.

    It is looking very nice, I like how you repaired that top scratch. I use something similar to JB Weld but it is a two part metal based putty. It starts to dry in 5mins and is fully hardened in 10hours. It is so strong that you can even tap it.

    I have one question, I don't know if you have already said. Where did you get the brackets for the res from? They are much better then the stock plastic ones.

    I got them with the res, it is an IandH Stealthres. Here in the UK you can buy the clamps separately from WatercoolingUK or in the states from Sidewinders and Petras

    I love that pic of the sleeving on the plate, great shot . I really like those MSI boards, they suit my next colour scheme perfectly but due to the lack of PCI slots on that board I am forced to look else where.
