Project White'N'Blue

Looks like you got a great finish on your paint job.

Did you just use a spray can for the white paint ?? Looks really smooth, fantastic job.
 
thank you :D

yes just spray cans, but atm the total cost of the spray is around 75€ so very close to getting the stuff done at a autopainter lol
 
Finish looks Pro anyway, I want to do my build in a 2Tone black/white, hope it comes out as well as yours.
 
just make sure you get some proper masking tape, the regular yellow is not good enough to do 2tone with imo :)

unless you like to do alot of touch up's

2nd sidepanel is done, just need to paint the 2things to open the case with blue :)

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 :p
the holes around the front bezel is to suck in air, as there is room for 2 fans in the front :p
so covering them up will be a bad idea me tinks?

Top vent gets my vote. Those cases don't have much airflow and with flipping the motherboard, the exhaust fan is now below the video card. Wouldn't want the case to get hot enough to melt the paint.:rolleyes: Might have to off-center the top vent to provide clearance for the motherboard.
Looks nice, but that fan hub does need some detailing.
 
nice looking sleeves, i have the same 2 fans for my new setup that i will hopefully be putting together this weekend. have you fired them up yet? im just using them for case fans but have had them for a few months just sitting around and curious on how well they do performance/noise wise.

edit (forgot): i'm also doing a white scheme i liked how your paint came out, what brand of paint did you use? I have a mountain mods case thats unpainted thinking of hitting it with some paint.

i've had a few of them, they always surprise me on how good the are for the very low price, and they are fairly silent too :D, not that i really care about silence, but still :pimp:

if you offered so much on a MM case i would get it painted by a pro, should'nt be more than 150$ max but it does depend on what paint you want ;)
ex. i had a case a while ago i wanted to be painted metallic red, (Apple G5) that would cost me 120$ for the painting/priming only, then i had to sand, and such first.

well its really a matter of taste and what case/theme you're going with, some mods should NOT have single sleeved cables at all, so yeah, a matter of taste really.

something i do like though was the blue bare wires on SNiiPE_DoGG's casemod (Flow)

here's the LED strip, its very hard to take a good shot of it as its so bright :twitch:

cool. I am curious how well that strip will work with the lighting and if it will just make the case look like there is a landing strip of bright lights in there.
 
yeah that will be quite interresting to see :)
will find out in the following days

i got this for free from a friend who didnt use it anymore, and its never really been used :)

k, just tested the led strip on a sanded piece of plexi, and you can see the led's straight through it if they are too close :(

but, i think i will be getting white plexi for the cover instead, and some cathodes to illuminate it, that way it will work better i think?

also, im working on making a MB Cover plate in plexi that will be painted white.
