[Xion X2]

Nice work on the caps Xion, very shinny.

I am interested in seeing how the painting of the PCI-e slots works out too, might need to add that to my list.

Thanks, KG!

The PCI-e slots will be a real pain. There are small pin-openings all along the top ridge of the slot, and unfortunately, this ridge still shows even with my ginormous 5970 sitting in it (these cards are a foot long, it's crazy.)

The DIMM slots should look very good painted as the RAM fits right on top of that top ridge of the slot, so you can't see any color underneath. Not so with the PCI-e, unfortunately.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I've done some painting tonight that's gone so-so. I may end up going with an all black evga board that I have my eye on right now if I can't get rid of the red. It just looks really out of place in this build.

thats just sweet
i mean :drool: ^^

Thanks, nigel!

This is my favorite build on the interwebs!

Thanks, NoGuru! Good to see you over here.

the heat of the motherboard won't affect the paint?

Watercooled mobos don't get that hot.

you've raised the bar with these shiny caps!

Thanks, Vinas! Glad you like.

You could try Vinyl Dye since it seeps into the plastic instead of just coating it. Won't scratch or flake off.

Hmmm. Not familiar with it. I'll have to give it a look.

Well, aside from painting, I've began reassembling the case with the Zero Gravity Chamber installed to see how everything looks. Luckily, everything is fitting pretty exact to the original measurements that were taken when I was constructing the chamber. Huge sigh of relief on that one.

I took several shots tonight of the assembly in action. This one turned out the best. Hope you enjoy.
