Seriously smooth paint job, have you done the base and rear as well?
Who did you get to paint it? What kind of setup are you going to put in it? What cooling?
Nice job so far, keep it up.

Hi,

No, I havnt done the rear or the base. Only the sides, top and front.

All in all this is what has been done thus far:

3 layers of primer
4 layers of paint
9 layers of clear coat
6 sessions of wet sanding

Then buffed and polished!!

It's praticly a car pain job, same steps.


Like I said, I will be posting pics as I receive my hardware. For now, the only hardware I can tell you that there is gonna be is 2 items that I currently have in my machine wich are 2 raptors 74 gig and 1 gig of OCZ 3500 EB ram.

Next week I should receive an Awsome power supply . I cant wait to post newer pics of the power supply.

Very nice case! Great paintjob. :thumbsup:

Also the window looks nice, just screwed onto the sidepanel instead of moulded in the sidepanel with windowrubber.

Never seen it before this way but i like it.

Keep us posted on your updates.
