friggin SICK

I've got it almost assembled. I say almost because I misplaced the I/O shield for the MB and I've currently got the 5850 that's for it in my main rig because I took my 6870 out to put the waterblock on it lol. I need to find a temporary replacement for mine until MS is done so I can get this Cat done! I found an I/O shield on ebay for $20 +$5 S&H I think I may have tossed it out mistakingly....

Also, I may need to make the window taller. As it is it completely covers the cooler master oil casp on the cooler. If I make it taller it'll be perfect. I'll tape it off and jigsaw it.

I did have to clean a ton of clearcoat out of the rear honeycomb mesh too lol. It looks SICK though, especially assembled. The black parts really help break up the green. I'll get pics tonight

Dang, that's SWEET! That's a truly impressive paint job. Love the way the white PCI slots seem to glow compared to everything else!

Wow awesomely clean, nice colours & that bony cat is looking better, is it the same or did it have a little more work on it, looks more defined & the cooler looks absolutely awesome too, very tasty mod indeed .

It's the same, just different camera maybe?

UPDATE TIME!!!!!

Yea I know, finally

Minor update for now, got some work done on this puppy today. System is up and running with a fresh install of W7 Home on the 1TB drive.

I ditched the idea for making the carbon fiber wiring cover because I failed so many times that I ran out of carbon So I decided to use some leftover plexi to make one instead.

I marked out the cover on the sheet.

Then I cut it out with my jigsaw and bent it into a 90º angle. I then trimmed out the areas where the MB cables pass through. I got a little carried away working and didn't get any progress pics I used a small piece of aluminum angle to mount the cover to a pair of existing mounting holes in the chassis.

I also got the mounting done for the die-cast model.

I got the cover painted white and I have a neat idea for it, but I'll have to try it out to see if it'll work the way I want it to!


I also got this nice 50th anniversary emblem that they put on the ATVs and snowmobiles this year and mounted it to the front door.

And I mounted a nice billet aluminum cat head logo to the PSU to dress it up a bit

That's it for now, more to come soon!!
