Hello! Progress has been steady but slow for the moment. I have been thinking alot lately about the internal styling of the components. I had an initial styling for the components at the beginning, though, with such a complex build I put this task off until the end, which, in turn has caused a slow-down.
I took the fan out and wanted to give it the proper jet turbine feel, so I painted the nose cone red because I thought it would look great and..........
NO NO NO NO ARRRGGGHHH NO
After the debacle, I went out and got some satin granite color spray paint because I wanted more of a hammered metal feel and a grey color best represents this.
It looks good though now I need to paint the underlying frame
Took the fan blade assembly off
Way better feel and look to the case
Compared to all black fans I believe this two tone color combo is the way to go.:dremel:
Repeated for all three.
I was going to spray paint on the lettering and pull back from it.
Lets just spray paint the vinyl lettering and stick the letters on. That way if the fans ever get chipped or letters get damaged they can be replaced easily. When you taking your case to Lan Parties such things can happen.
Dont stick your finger in there or you will break the fan!!!:duh:
Gives the viewers an aircraft feel to the case when they look at the fans.
Had to cut the opening for the power supply cables to the motherboard. I learned from Aelro Dynamic that is I make the hole too small, it is not wise to due. I have alot more space here too.
After cutting.
I brought all my sleeving junk home and will begin the sleeving process over the next couple of days.
Until Tomorrow.
