the blocks look nice.
i love your work man, fantastic. :up:
Started to do a bit of work on the new top grill.
Started with a 6mm sheet of aluminium and the plan is to replicate the front piece which was always going to be interesting as the original front is extruded alu and i had to copy it with a sander!!!
I did try with my little mouse sander but i'd have been lucky to make CeBIT next year at that rate so went and hired a heavy duty sander.
Well that made short work of it but it was a work of art to get the chamfer perfect all the way down the length and not sure if it was pure luck or skill but got there in the end then finished it off with fine grit and my little mouse sander.
I've also had the same cut (only smaller) in the front section which will both have mesh added later.
I'll get the last couple of bits to powder coat tomorrow and all in all i seem to be getting there and i should have it off for paint at the back end of the week......touch wood.

coolmiester, I have a quick question. How did you install your dual bay reservoir? Did you have to cut or push the 5.25" drive bay tabs down?
BTW, everything looks amazing. :up:
Cheers - yes de-tabbed before it went to powder coat :up:Quote:

Coming along very nicely CM! :yepp:
My apologies for this going on for so long but unfortunately its at that boring stage of just getting it all primed and wet sanded ready for paint.
I had hoped to get it down there today but a few of the bits were late getting to powder which had a knock on effect but it should all be ready to go early next week.
The top vent has turned out pretty nice though again its waiting for primer and i'm also making some shiny highlight rails for it.
On a positive note though, Zotac have me some real nice cards coming but won't be here till mid February so gave me a 9800GTX to get the system up and running with for the time being which was nice of them and my friends at Intel have got involved but more on that later.
Anyway a few pictures of it in primer......well most of it.....

gorgeous coolmiester! your final color will be? or is that classified? :D
Outstanding work CM!:up:
I love it, I just ordered the first stage of my own i7 rig.
One black Coolermaster ACTS 840, One Asus Rampage 2 Extreme, and one Thermaltake Toughpower 1200watts. I hope it will turn out half as good as yours.
For me, this is what modding is all about, there is nothing more satisfying than making something out of basically nothing and i'm never happier than with a piece of aluminium and a few tools.
I've made one for now but there will be one either side of this one, slightly shorter in length and there will be another three for the front section so i best get a wriggle on.

The execution is excellent especially at the waterblock tops. Another modding classic in the making :).
