cool

One hell of a solid case fabrication. +Rep
Looks like it was defiantly worth the hard work and effort.
Interested to see what you do next.

More stripping tonight, and possibly laying down primer. And I've been digging around in modder's pile and I've got a few other ideas that might see the light of day as well.

Once I get to actually laying paint down, I think you guys are gonna dig what I've got in store. I'll post a youtube link to where I got the idea from along with pics of my version.

Once again, my apologies for the crappy pics:

One side done

And I'm now out of primer. It's 12:30 am here, so I will call it a night. Got the whole thing sans the small parts on the front sanded and primered, so I'll get some more primer, finish that up, and primer all the parts for Frank as well tomorrow. I'm also planning on finally getting the shelving installed tomorrow too, along with fixing the PSU area. Will most likely knock a hole out on the top part as well for cabling management.

The can says "Ruddy Brown", but yeah, its red hued. Today I'll be working till 1 am (ugh) and just remembered that the Mrs. has a doctor's appt early in the morning. So I'll just be buying 1 more can of primer and some paint for the base color. If I get a chance tomorrow morning after the appt, I'll get the shelf built. I'd go do it right now, but as of late, once I start modding I don't want to stop, and since I've got both cases at my disposal...I'm not going to take that chance--too much to do before work.

I'll be sure to grab the good camera as well.

Looking good. Given any though about using some sound deadening inside? My custom case is roughly the same size. I used FATMAT, the stuff they use on car floorboards. No vibrations. Made the thin panels feel solid.

I really haven't given any thought to it. Now I'll have to go look into it. Thanks for looking!

So, I've been jabbering on constantly about the paint scheme for this beast of a case. SgtM turned me onto this dude named Ed Hubbs, and he's got a ton of instructional videos on Youtube. So, after watching the one titled "Wrinkle Effect", I decided to see if it would work with spraypaints:

This is actually the floor of the FCS, I figured it would make the perfect test piece, just in case something went horribly wrong. As you can see, it came out freaking nice.

I'm still working out the overall design for putting the wrinkle effect on FCS.

Now that is cool. Looking good man.
