Nice paintjob m8 :D It really give me cold chills on my back.

Did you splash anodized it or what kinda procedure did you do to get such "ice crystal" like looks.

BTW the coolant looks very pink, which coolant are you using?

Very nice Korben. Did you made this paintjob with a cellophane or plastic bag?

Thanks, man! The fluid dye is Fesser Purple, but you're right, it does end up a little pinkish. I'm in the process of watercooling the GTX 280's, and the tubing and fluid will change.

As far as the paint, and this is to the other poster, too, it's from Alsa Corporation. The paint is called Mystic Crazer. Very easy to apply and you do use cellophane or suran wrap to give it the ice crystal or marble appearance.

I try to place them on all four sides of the window side of the case. Then maybe some smaller led's for point spotting inside the case.

thanks korben43 :)

well here's mine... no leds hehehe

Nice setup emoners :) Maybe you should go watercooling with yellow tubes ;)

Because the yellow and black look awesome together, though it's a paint scheme that you see very often it looks very fresh.

Thanks for the tip!

How much cans did you use on that case? The crimson red looks very nice to, that could be the next colour for my V1200B Plus II :D

One can for the final coat is all you need. It doesn't take much of the stuff to give a nice coating. Your base coatings and primer will be the most important steps.

how do you guys paint the side trims? (eg, the yellow in emoner's rig)

Rox A Lot Marcus !!!!!!

Here's mine. Its about to go under the knife again though:

sorry for the late reply...didn't notice this thread for a while.
the trims were done by covering parts of the case with some tape, then just spray painted the exposed area :)

pwolf, very nice rig, shame about the green PCB on the GPU.

Here is my "Silver ... Stone"

Hey emoners! - nice case!

How did you paint the jog-wheel on the Zalman fan controller?

I have one in a box since it came out, but haven't used it yet since I don't like the silver metal.

Did you loosen the wheel from behind or?

And If you don't mind? please tell me how you did that, and what kind of paint you used? :p:

A can of black spray paint?

I would like to paint both the jog-wheel and the silver plate black on the controller for my TJ07

Can I please join your black jog-wheel club? :D

Many thanks in advance for spilling the beans!

@Vargher Warg: thanks mate! :) actually you just pull the knob out (just like the knobs in most fan controllers)...i used Flat Black so that it would have the same shade as my IMON.

Thanks mate! :)

Okey that sounds easy enough! :up: I'll just pull it off and then spraypaint it then.

Edit: I just discovered that to paint the mode button and the backplate black as well, and to get a good result will be more difficult than I first thought!

Okey! the jog wheel was easy to get of (cheap plastic) but how in hell do I spray paint the mode button?

On second thought, maybe I just leave the mode button as it is in silver!

I'll try and see if I can loosen the metal silver front frame/plate of the controller.

Thanks for all the info emoner!

Wow tripple rads in a TJ09/10 :eek:

What rads are you guys using, it looks like a MCR-320 Swiftech/Black Ice 360 Stealth?

Update ... new parts :)

Got the wires pretty much out of the way. Black SATA cable for the rom drive be nice .. otherwise I think I'm good.

SilverStone TJ06 Silver This was a friends build I did for him. I water sanded front 4-stager and wheel buff to mirror finish. I added some diamond plate film. I am currently adding a BI 240GTX rad to the front to water cool the Intel Q6600.

I would very much like to see how you get the radiator in the TJ06. If you could provide some picture it would be most helpful. I have a single 120 radiator in my TJ06 (second machine). I assume you will be putting it at the front 120 fan and 80 fan location. I would like to see what you do to get the air flow in there.:)

Here you go :D I was planning on adding a AC RYAN RAD grill to the front like this. Remember the door will be shut so you will not see this section, as long as it gets good air flow it the key. I think 4 Thermaltake Thunderblade 120mm Blue Led @ 78 CFM would be fine.:up:
