Project: Saturn Magnetosphere

That looks great!

[Eclecticos]

I painted the front panel black and the grill white.

Here is the front panel:

Here is the Side: I think it turned out preddy good.
I painted it white so the lights would show up better:

I just set the fans on top for now.

I'm going to do a bubble fade from the front panel.
I think that would make it look much better.

[Eclecticos]

Well I didn't like it White. .So I went ahead and Painted it Baby Blue.

One thing I learned this time round if you use a hairdryer "gently" to cure the paint after its dry to the touch
It won't leave the residue that gets on your hands and it doesn't scratch off as easily.
Sanding it down real good with a orbital sander doesn't hurt either.

I took it all back apart and painted everything separate.
Here Is a view from the side:

Here is my workspace and another view:

I'm done with this side. Just Riveting It all back together now and Using the Dremel to File
the rivets down enough where the panels will slide on smooth without a hitch.

Now I have the Case Door on the other side to do, and the Top and It will be Complete.

I'm still not sure if I'm going to put a case window on it yet.
The Metal on the Side door is extremely thick. "Where theres a will theres a way"

Will Post a Lengthier Update By the end of the weekend.

This side is Done. Just needs Windex.

[Eclecticos]

I'm Working on the other side now.

Figuring Out whats needs to be cut off:

Cutting It off, Ive found it you tear the Little buRrs off before it cools It looks allot better:

You can see why I'm having trouble Deciding on a case window:

I guess I'm gonna sand this piece down real nice and hide the wires a little better.

Ive added more pics to the previous updates of the worklog if you care to take a peek.

Trying out the spackling over the door grip Like Nocturnal Did.

Almost like it was never there. .Might have to go over it one more time.

[Eclecticos]

I decided to trim it down to the size of the case.

And I made some pieces to cover the gaps on the sides:

Now I'm going to dremel it smooth and fill in the cracks.

It's on Now! . . I'm getting help from EclectiGopher
He's all work no play. Mean as hell to. He will Dremel the Toenails right off ya.

Hey, I think your mod is pretty cool. However what is that round thing supposed to be on the side? I'm not folowing that.

[Eclecticos]

Thats the Saturn Magnetosphere Mann. .

Actually It brings cool air into the case. I will have to post some more pics.

Kinda Like a air duct behind the Mobo. I have one fan on the inside of it and one under the dome on top. .

I cut a square out behind the motherboard.

Im going to space the motherboard out away from the wall there about an inch or so. .
It actually serves a purpose. Not just a Cosmetic. .Mod.

[Eclecticos]

Doing some contour work.

Masking It off.

Priming it now.

Still needed a Little more sanding so I just sanded over the primer. That worked out preddy good.

I found a mounting bracket for that fan so I can turn it from a center post.

I'm gonna cut the square out a little bigger. Damn Cutoff Wheels..
Flying all over the place. .

Cleaning up the inside a bit. . Look at the sparks Fly. .

[Kristofisis]

Your case is looking awesome, clean paint scheme too. It's nice to see a good looking mod which serves a purpose, How much cooling do you think it will provide, blowing onto the back of the mobo? I was thinking of doing the same thing, ha- except not to the same extent as you.. Keep it up
