Fans are looking good

What have you decided wrt a custom grill? Share your ideas?

Btw, I'll keep following this, great work, as I have mentioned earlier - good to think outside the box

Meelobee · 23rd July 2012, 2:22 AM

Not sure on a if I want a grill, so no ideas there yet

Update!

Made a fancontroller in the right panel, just above the 7" touchscreen:

I've also prepared the psu cover, a backpanel and a sidepanel for priming:

And I've prepared a couple of parts for the 2nd layer of paint:

Not a real big an update, all this stuff is very time consuming.... till next time!

Mini update: Here's some of the parts after the 2nd layer of paint:

Sanding and painting is a time consuming business, so I'm a bit slow with updates recently. Good news is that I have completely taken the case apart and sanded most of the parts in preparation for painting. I've also finished painting a couple of parts:

The PSU housing:

Wow, this thing is mental, so much work has gone into it!

kenks · 31st July 2012, 9:20 AM

Looking awesome, keep up the good work!

Meelobee · 4th August 2012, 11:53 PM

Thanks guys

And yet another paint update:

I'm done with the primer on all the frame and all the panels (minus the panel with the mobo, I still need to drill and cut in that.)
All parts were sanded to P1200 and then got their first layers of primer. After a day I sanded it it all to P1200 again and added the second layer of primer. After it dried I sanded it to P2000 and used a cleaner to get rid of all the fingerprints etc in preparation for paint:

Now all I need is some decent weather, it's been too windy/rainy to paint outside lately.

Meelobee · 6th August 2012, 7:43 PM

Yesterday I started rebuilding the frame:

Wired up the main powerconnector & On/Off switch. The blue cable is for the 7" touchscreen.

Front bar = shiny!
