As you can see the water jet has in-cut areas and because I was unaware of this headed to the cutter with my .dxf I had not drawn lead-ins to avoid the marks. After I get my hands on a set of files tomorrow at the depot you will barely even be able to tell they were ever there. :yepp: :up:

>.< so I went to go put the 420GTX into the case today...... just my luck it doesnt fit in the 5.25" bays, nor will it fit anywhere else in the case.... :(
so I'm about top call Gary to discuss a radiator exchange (the thing is brand spanking new, I just took it out of the box lol). As of now it looks like I will have to break my boycott against feser and go with a 480 from them..... :( I really dont like the idea of buying from such a nasty greedy company as them but I suspect the PA120.4 is still quite a few months off :\
The Feser 480 is slightly larger than the GTX 420.
not width-wise though ;) I will have a pic up in a bit displaying the reason it doesn't fit.Quote:

Nice, lucky man :) I got a Feser 480 from the GF but I've yet to open it :P
Here is the not fitting GTX 420, well it was cool to think I would be using a unique radiator in the beginning :\ :rofl:

more to come a bit later tonight :)
A note to anyone considering the P80 as their next case: The fans are VERY silent and blow lots of air, its quite amazing really I never thought I would receive such nice fans stock in a Lian-Li case ;)
WOW!!!
Love the blue/black/white scheme.
keep the pics comin' :up:

Thanks for reading guys :)
the next project I have is painting the shroud then disassembling my old rig (after I backup C drive), then you guys are gonna get to see some sleeving madness on the HX1000 :D
That is a slick looking case Sniipe Dogg. I really like the contrast.
thanks man, I hope I can finally join the ranks of the no-holds-barred PC builders :up:Quote:

So how are you solving the other Rad problem?
How many Rads your using on total now?
I think I will be getting a feser 480 for that spot..... but its not final yet, it depends on how much space I decide I'm going to need in the next few days.Quote:

not sure where to go on this one:confused::confused:
With the theme I have chosen and knowing that I will have uv blue yates in that shroud, should I paint the shroud flat white or should I leave it the nice semigloss powdercoated black it is?
Thanks for the kind words guys! another day another set of photos at least, I'll try to get sleeving action going today :up:
awesome :) great paint! love that front side black&white combination
nice good paint a like the colors
post more photos
Enjoying this one ... can't wait to see the finished product.

Project Status: I will be at school from tomorrow until the middle of december so I wont be posting more updates until then, at least no major ones that is ;)
for anyone who sees this: please help me decide on the questions I asked in the earlier post:
With the theme I have chosen and knowing that I will have uv blue yates in that shroud, should I paint the shroud flat white or should I leave it the nice semigloss powdercoated black it is?
love the white sleeving, going to be an epic masterpiece. Subbed
I would keep it as it is Sniipe, it goes along with the black/white theme. Nice job on the sleeving!
That sleeving turned out great! And I would keep it as it is too, atleast then you have a change to paint it if you don't eventually like it.
Awesome build so far!
The pictures are very good too. The third to last one in #110 is just stunning!
I would also keep the shroud black. nice contrast that way.
