Project White'N'Blue

(FIH) The Don · Apr 8, 2011

ah yeah here we go again :rolleyes:

ive gotten so far in this project now that i am confident enough to get this finished

so whats going on?

well, i got this old crappy antec NSK-6XXX case

the plan was to paint it white with metallic blue details here and there

so i took the thing apart, sanded it down

painted it

took a bit of time, as funds are pretty strict atm, so i make do with what i have or wait till i get more money

just need to be done with the side panels

and make a cover for the PSU and HD/DVD area so nothing but MB/GPU will be visible

also painted my GPU Cover
GPU Painting Thread

yes, i will be fixing the blue middle to white this week or next week

HW List :
ASUS P7P55D-E
i5 760
Cogage Arrow
2x2 Kingston HyperX

TX850W
2x1TB WD Blacks

stay tuned

That's what I did with my first proper mod, an upside-down case! I tried to do it on another case afterwards and found the side panels don't always fit on the opposite sides (side panel had a window)... But if you're going to mod your own window onto the panel, then you won't have that problem at all.

Subbed

EDIT: Just noticed you got a window already. Can't wait to see the finished product; hope it's worth killing my 3GB monthly download limit for :toast:

yeah was a bit worried about that fact aswell, but since both sides were straight/the same i thought it would be fine

i should be getting a free sheet of plexi tomorrow
then i just need the rubber list to cover the hole cut,
and the plexi should be enough to make the cover for hd/psu/dvd and a window

You've just given me an idea - PSU window :cool:

Was the cutout for the window already in the panel, or did you do that yourself?

(FIH) The Don · Apr 8, 2011

then you almost HAVE to sleeve that PSU and paint it lol :roll:

i made it today, wasnt 110% correct, but the rubber list will make up for the errors

maybe 1-2mm off somewhere

Hell yea, I've been wanting to do something with a PSU for ages but couldn't think of anything extraordinary. A window in the top of a passively cooled PSU with some subtle LED's would look amazing I think.

The picture looks like it's don perfect; looks like it was made like it from this end :toast:

lol I was supposed to say "done perfect" but I like "don perfect" better... :laugh:

hell yeah

right then, a friend dropped by with a spare sheet of clear perspex/plexi/whatever

its like 120x100com x3mm thickness

looks a bit scratched, but i will only use this sheet for psu/hd/dvd cover

and then buy a new piece for the window itself if this is too scratched

Sub'd...staying tuned

Cold Storm · Apr 9, 2011

can't wait to see everything cut out of it.

(FIH) The Don · Apr 9, 2011

just ordered

im not gonna do the sleeving myself, not atm

and sice ive seen several reviews and videos of the bitfenix cables i decided to get those for the time being.

also cut out some pieces of the perspex/plexi for the cover and window(maybe, if it turns out to be scratched i will order a new piece

)

this piece will be bent in a 90 degree angle, very simple but it will cover everything when you look in through the window

it will also be sanded and painted white like the case is

I like the look of the BitFinex cables myself, they just look tidier/cleaner without the heat-shrink.

May get some for my current build, so post up some thoughts/pics when you receive them.

one or 2 more coats ant this side is done

(FIH) The Don · Apr 9, 2011

update

1 sidepanel done

testing if the paint is ok

think so

front bezel looks a bit odd from this angle, but it looks fine when facing it

makwy2 · Apr 9, 2011

(FIH) The Don · Apr 9, 2011

yes, that looks wierd, you should try to cover those ugly holes with some kind of tubing or channel, painted maybe even. would look nice with some blue tubing or something cut at 45 degree angles for a nice mitered corner look.i like the white, looks clean and sharp.

lol i might ruin the minimalistic look a bit soon, as i really want to add a 2x120mm fangrill on top, with 2x120mm fans, then if i later want to add water its ready for it

the holes around the front bezel is to suck in air, as there is room for 2 fans in the front

so covering them up will be a bad idea me tinks?
