Mountain Mod Ascension "MMA"

[marxviper]

3.25" to 5.25" bay painted black




The wires with heat shrinks



Front panel with blue fans and black steel mesh

The side panel's okay but it needs a little more work... You can still see the scratches...

Edit:

I think the blue fans will look good when its all finished.... Are you going to use Blue LED fan controllers?

Thanks for your opinion. I am trying to find a way get rid of scratches.

Yeah. I got lamptron FC-2 rheobus monster.. It has blue led in them.

[malkiewicz]

I'd use primer / sand it down / reprime it again and agian until you can't see the scratches anymore.... Works for me and it drys fast...

The lamptron FC-2 is a nice controller...

[marxviper]

you mean i put a primer top of it and then sand and then repaint it whatever color i like?

[malkiewicz]

I usally takes a few coats of primer / sanding to get rid of deep scratches... Once the scratch are gone its ready for paint and a clear coat

[marxviper]

thanks for the tips I appreciate your advice.

Question: if it make all the individual switches to one big switch, it wont cause to short circuit, right?

At last go all the rads and fan attached

Very clean job with the radiators. Can't wait to see it inside the case!

[randomhro]

I thought I had read somewhere that mounting the rads with the ports on the bottom (vertically upside-down) was a bad idea because of a possible accumulation of air

yeah.. this is the result of spending hours and hours on XS reading other people's worklog. but this cant be compare to other people's awesome works.

Thanks scott. It's words like yours (including other members) make me wanna work harder on the case. I got a friend today helped me organizing the loops and planning the pattern he even painted on the radiators. More pictures coming soon.

Can't upload it now as I still need to assemble the computer.

Just point out and stop me from making any mistakes. I'll appreciate it.
Thanks

What is the mesh grills you're using? I also have a MM Ascension and was going to go without a mesh grill but after seeing yours, I'd like to get the same ones.

To be honest, I was thinking like you did. The blue fans I have look amazing with mirror black case. But the dust was my biggest concern.

You could find these on performance-pcs.com. Just search black mesh grill and viola you will find it. Is your worklog on XS? If so post your link here so I could check it out. I want to learn something I miss.

[marxviper]

Just to make it easier. Here is the link:

I'm not making a worklog for the build but will be posting the Case Gallery thread. It's really nothing special and I didn't want to take the time to take the pics and post.

I have an update.

Watercooling Pros in XS! I need your help big time. I have leak on motherboard block. It leaked at the place where I replace red plexi piece with the transparent one. There was an advice not to overly tight the screw as there is chance to break te plexi. Well! I didn't tight them enough just to precaution and now de iodized water is on the board. I used kitchen towels to absorb as much water as I can. Now as beginner, I have no clue what to do next. Surely, motherboard wasn't on. Only te pump. Any step by step advice would be appreciated.

Leave everything in a well ventilated place for about 2 days. Should be fine.
