Back view of the case, I can bite it a little.

Powdercoating finished and I hope you enjoy the media. :up:

As you may remember, I could not powdercoated the plastic parts because of heat problem. There are some dirty areas on the media, they are all temporary mess for case. I was hurried for media a little, sorry sorry about the fingerprints. :(

I'll change the original thumbscrews on the case with black ones. I also will paint the rivet backs (as black color) which looks dummy for everyone right now. By the way, my rivets are exhausted because of that I could not mount the anti-vibration grommets on case. I am not started to sleeve the fan and other cables yet. I may not have time for them for a while. Why Ferhan do not hear me LOL? :(

My radiator, reservoir and other Xigmatek fans stuff are on their ways. :rolleyes: When they arrived to me, I'll start to mod my side and top panel with them. I also received my pump and its top recently, I just assembled them well today. :yepp:

Any positive and negative feedbacks appreciated alot.

Stay Tuned! :up:

Cheers,
Arthur

Nice photography!

The powder coating turned out real nice, makes me wish that I could have gotten mine powder coated but businesses in NYC overcharge for it :( Just curious, were the locks on the 5.25" bay plastic as well?

You should definitely buy a black 120mm fan grill, it would look sweet!

Thanks alot for kind words bro. :) Yes, they are plastic parts too. :( I could paint orange color them with spray paint but I did not do it yet. I see well what looks ugly that fan grill LOL. :yepp: Actually, I am thinking what I can make custom fan grill with CNC after the new year. ;)

Cheers,
Arthur

Just a word of advice if you paint the plastic pieces, use a primer, then put a base coat or two, then a matte finish sealer.

Hey guys,

I am waiting for my radiator and reservoir in these days. And then I'll assemble them into my case. :rolleyes: By the way, I am thinking what changing my currently PSU with Corsair TX750W, I suppose it can be enough to my currently WC rig. I also can sleeve it completely because I already ordered my sleeving pack from MDPC-X today. :eek:

What do you think about my PSU decision guys? I need some answers here. :confused:

Yes mate, you are absolutely right about the Primer. I'll consider your opinion in near future. :up:

Thanks,

Seasonic X Series? :)

Thanks for suggestion my friend. :) Seasonic X Series did not come in my country yet because of that I cannot buy these products. :( I also have limited budget to change or upgrade my currently PSU. I choosing the non-modular PSU because they are cheap than modular PSUs in these days. One way or another, I'll be completely sleeved my PSU, with this way I can manage my wires a little easy. By the way, TH750W is agree with my project color schema, it has 5 year warranty and popular PSU in these days.

Thats my 2 cents.

Thanks again,
Arthur

Update time! :up:

I know these pictures have so dummy quality but I could not reach my currently monster but I hope you can handle with their low quality down here. :(

Thanks,
Arthur

Small update time. :) I took the Enermax Galaxy 1000w DXX from my friend, you do not ask how I took it LOL! :rolleyes: I'll start to sleeve that monster at all but I really do not know where should I start to sleeve it? :confused: By the way, my items arrived from MDPC-X at least and I must tell something about them, they have quite awesome quality as always. I added some new feeds down here. :up:

Any comment would be great. :)

Last night, I started to sleeve my Enermax's 24pin, damn its really fat a$$ and that was serious time for me. :) Hopefully, I could only finished 12pin of it in this afternoon. :eh: I hope 24pin sleeving will be done until tomorrow. :rolleyes:

Iill add some media about it tomorrow.

Stay Tuned!

Thanks,
Arthur

Hey bro, I would like to give some small notes about the progress of this project here (I do not wanted to double post because of that).

As I mentioned before my previous posts, I ordered my sleeving items from MDPC-X recently and they had quite good quality. You can see the details below what I got from Nils;

Sleeve Small - Black: 20 meters
Sleeve Small - Orange: 20 meters
Sleeve SATA - Orange: 1 meters
Heatshrink Small - Black: 3 meters
Heatshrink SATA - Black: 1 meter

When I started to sleeve my bloody Enermax 1000w DXX, I was scared about my supplies. Because it has long 24pin, 2x6pin and 2x8pin cables with it (approx. 60cm each cables). :eek: Maybe I can give an order soon enough. :rolleyes: Anyway, I started to sleeve it with 24pin cables firstly and I faced some problems related with crimping my molex. :( I had no tools for it and I had to wait for my tools. :shakes:

I was thinking that crimping my molex will not be so hard for me but I took my crimping tool in my hands and started to bypass on them LOL! :yepp: I crimped each molex approx. only 30seconds. :up:

I also finished my 2x6pin sleeving before received my crimping tool. With this way, I could save some time about sleeving my PSU. ;)

For now, only SATA power cables and 4pin molex cables left of it. I successfully sleeved other cables but my sleeving supply may not enough for them, I really dunno about that. :confused:

Because of that I cannot use my system in these days, I cannot upload any media for my currently status but I assure you I'll be finished my PSU sleeving work partly and I'll power up my system without WC components come alive. I'll add my WC stuff in last moments. :)

I really appreciate alot who subscribing my worklog and giving feedback to me down here. :up:

Stay Tuned!

Thanks,
Arthur

You have no patient my bro and here we goes... :)

Damn, I couldnt wait for a while. :D Here's the sleeving festival LOL! :rolleyes: However, 4pin molex cables, SATA power cables and other extension cables are not done yet.

Please you do not hesitate to leave your comments here, they are important to me alot. I am waiting for comments. :up:
