After the motherboard tray i started with my PSU
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10420.jpg
removed all labels

http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10442.jpg
At work i started with casing of the PSU
First i made the hole of the wires a little bigger
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10436.jpg
after that i sanded all the parts for painting
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10439.jpg
Removed the blades from the body so i could paint the blades also

Here is a sneaky peak of how the bottom of the case will look like.

http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10484.jpg
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10482.jpg
Then the top mod :p
Because there was already a hole in the top of the case i had to come with something else to cover it up. So i made te hole bigger so my res/fillport would fit.
the hole was for a aqua computer filter
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10447.jpg

http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10485.jpg
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10486.jpg
When that was finnished i removed a part of the reservoir so that it fits perfectly.

First i will start with some very good news
Bit Tech chosen my project for MOTM competition ^^
You can place youre votes here
Every votes count ^^


UPDATE 07
This week i worked on my bay holders. My first design that i have made wasn't really what i expected.
Picture's will tell the story
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10360.jpg
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10539.jpg
Personally i don't like it. It looks to basic and wouldn't really fit with the rest.
I started to look for something else then and then i thought to use the original bay holders from Silverstone and redesign it. ^^
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10530.jpg
Putted some tape on it and start the drawings
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10531.jpg
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10532.jpg
Cutted it out
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10535.jpg
Then the finished product :p
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10536.jpg
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10537.jpg
Mounted it to check if it would fit nice
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10542.jpg
And yes it fits perfect ^^
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10544.jpg
Cdrom in it
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10545.jpg
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10546.jpg
then the total picture :p
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10548.jpg
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10549.jpg
The next thing to do fix the mounting for the HDD and make a new Cdrom holder

UPDATE 08

The reason here for was that i wasn't completely satisfied with the original idea of placing the HDD cage against the case.
http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/...e/SDC10562.jpg
This is not really fitting with the rest of the parts. So started to dismantling the HDD cage and

Looks pretty cool, but please keep embedding the pics. The Photobucket Bandwidth Exceeded blank thumbs are frustrating.

Dayum that is tasty. BTW you have some nice skills.

For the HDD's adhesive vinyl film and a razorblade works great for changing colors of hard drives and CD drives. Like this: http://www.coastalbusiness.com/folaj...VinylFilm.aspx I can't find a smaller quantity though >.<

Thx for the info Sniipe Dogg but i am thinking to keep it like this :p
the contrast with handles fits very nice. the longer i look at it the better it looks

Looks awesome, thx for sharing:up:
