to XtremeSystems dean0 Thanks for sharing your skills with us. The more info the better.

1. How big is the tank on your compressor?
2. What pressure do you use with the cup gun?
3. What pressure do you use with the airbrush?
4. Where are you from?

1 I use a loud 25ltr compressor, built a box frm mdf with foam paddin and you cant evemn here it! great money saver, those silent compressor are a small fortune 4 a decent one with a good output.
2 about 40psi, the compressor i use is constantly runnin when i use the spraygun, need a bigger tank realy 50ltr would be ideal
3 depends on what your doin detial work can be as low as 15psi up to aroun d 40psi. For general work i use around 35psi, all depends on needle size and how reduced the paint is.
4 London, hope da info is useful

Nice job on the stone... I've never seen that on a case before.

As far as suggestions for what to paint over it... cave paintings maybe? Ironic that there are primative cave paintings on the outside and then computer inside. Or writing on it like an engraved stone tablet or something like that.

[dean0]

Wot you think of this desgin? the front 3 fans will be the turbine style fans, and mayb top 2 aswell .

maybe have some water leaking through the cracks of the stone, with a bit of mos or grass growing out of the cracks as well.
just some thoughts

Adding some green or brown for dirt/moss/vegitation would make it look more real.

[dean0]

iam havin 'Antec 900' logo on the side panel. its gona look like lava/magma spliing out of cracks in the stone. should add a bit of color to the design.

[Obitus]

Looks awesome so far! I will be watching this one. Great work.

[Lurid]

Honestly the idea of cave paintings and what not on the outside sounds hilariously ironic to me, i'd love to see that.

@ dean0

again, awesome job

you should pimp out your services. my friend paid £250 (over 540 dollors) to have a welsh dragon sprayed into the side of his van a year or so back. the blending of colors and tones were like your case above.

have seen a few boy racers and work vans with such work. you should advertise your capabilities

[dean0]

Update time! riveted the frame together, strartin on the two front fan's, heres da pics, enjoy :P

As you can see the frame isnt clearcoated, decided not to bother in the end, to much hassle sandin the frame . Don't worry im still clearcoatin everything on the outside! You may notice that the base panel is metalic blue on the outside, had a can on da shelf, fort i would use it.

body filler, get it from any autoparts store

[Ghost742]

bondo? for a minute it looked like plaster, that would have been exaggerating the hole stone theme lol

Nice Sketchup of the 900. Now is that my original antec 900 sketchup model?

Or is it the modified version of mine done by GreyRadean?

Love what your doing with the case. Puts an all new look to it. Looks like the 120mm fans in the top will be a tight fit since there isn't allot of space above the motherboard. The tree front fan mod is easily done but you will have to find a way to get a CD/DVD ROM in the system. Most people who do the 3 front fans generally mod a slot load into the bottom of the case. I've considered removing the IO and buttons from the top bezel of the case and putting a slot loaded there at that angle.

[dean0]

Update, managed to gt the fans sanded into shape and first coat of primer, which showed up couple of blemishes but noin major, bit of putty and quick sand should sort it out, few pics of progress:

First up i had so give workshop good claean after sandin bodyfiller, stuff was everywhere, wont stay like this long :P
Before, and you cant see the state of the floor!
[/url]
After, FRESHNESS!
[/url]

Happy with the finish on the top panel after the primer, quick sand then ready for the airbrush! and mayb a couple of fans :wink:
[/url]
[/url]

nearly finish fans, aint decided whether to airbrush these or paint black what you tink?
