I love watching your mods develop, it's always very innovative.
It's like seeing god at work. I just have a question. Did you learn this all by yourself and from other experiences or are you like a specialized engineer or something? As the previous post, truly innovative and extremely talented. Nice job. BTW, that is a lot of psu's lol.

Thanx for the awsome replies guys 
theres a few things that still need cleaning up and changing but i'm also happy with the overall look
Not wanting to do just throw another Custom RES with Green plex inside
i decided to come up with a res that might actually be practical and look cool!
The rest of the mod Revolves around "hot rod" "fast looks" so i thought what woould be more appropriate than a NOS bottle RES!
Pretty much just made from scraps the NOS res starts.
Ruff bases are cut and glued glued togther to douvle thyr thickness
To help hide the bards a lil the ends are are counyersunk and threaded
I thought to add to the nitros oxcide look this cool tap like bleeder filler would work well.
the ends are glued to the clear 50mm tube
The res is taped right from the beginning this will be shown why later.
And a very very ruff grind is started
Time to hit the "BELT SANDER"!!!!!!

after a bit of muscle work! the NOS tank takes shape!
In for some freeand wet rubbing
The wet rubbing is needed to hold the spray putty
As you can see in the above piccy some extra filling is needed
While the putty dries a quick colour paint test on some scrap!
Next is to sand!
Some more spray putty
and after another sand some blue metalic is applied
another final wetrub and four coats of clear is applied.
that tape can now be removed to reveal the water level window
Theres a bit of clean up work to be done , this will be completed when the paint is harder.

A quik looksee in the case!
To cover the paint edges of the RES's Water level window some good old black pinstriping is layed and cut,
i also decidied to have a go @ my own NOS sticker! theres still plans to add some indicator lines on the water level window and a some smaller fine print around the top and sides and base
Then to add some NOS

Very clean! Love your fabrications.
thanx again guys
A change of colour!
Today was a day of paint! and a lot of it and a change of colour, i decided to go one shade darker on the silver , basically from a light to a medium range platinum silver.
I liked the orig colour vey much! it's just under some lights the case simply looked white! and white is the colour i want for HP-3!
Theres 8 panels in all that make a HP case, and ive thrown in a second front panel for the heck of it, all the panels were highfilled 800 wet a dry rubbed prepsoled, tackrag'd dust coated and given @ least 4 coats of acrylic platinum silver.
Unfortunatly i ran out of clear! so the top and far side and spare front penels are yet to be cleared.
Ive given the front and base are given for very very wet coats of acylic clear over the new colour and have a pretty good shine even before buffing!
the RAD is painted and cleared as well to colour match and blend in better.
The fingys show the best part of 40+ coats of paint
All thats left to decide is weather to leave the side vents black! or paint then platinum silver also!

wow you are really really good at this!!! cant wait to see how this turns out.....i wouldnt paint the vents tho....if they are made silver like the rest of the case, i dont think that it would look too good, its nice to see something tand out like that

Have you considered blending the vents into the side panels with bondo, sort of like you're doing with that front duct and the flames? Might look a little more unified.. I say paint the vents silver either way though, and they'd look sick with some lights behind them.

Consider how tedious that is. He would have been better off having a machine shop punch them for a few bucks.
Either way Def is doing some great work as of late.
Edit: shame on you def for not wearing gloves. I hope you wore a mask at least.
Thanx again for the great replies guys!
Moulding the vents would have been easy... but thats not the look i wanted.
Streight to the shop to pick up some more acrylic clear today.
The idea is to get the coats on as thick and as wet as possible, the 1000w lamps helps

With the last of the painting out of the way for now , time to move onto some wire management!
Like all the HP's i want this one to also to look clean!
for wire cover matching silver tech flex is used, i cant buy this unfortunatly so i wil plastic prime and then paint my own.
What you see is pretty much the basic wiring you will see in the case! bugger all
All that will be added will be IDE and Power later.

At this stage the paper can now be removed to show the matching silver floor.
Next was to install the motherboard cover, as you can see ive cheeted and added a few new extra's to it with out posting i thought adding active cooling would look "cooler" then the mesh grill and added a lil flame grill with a accent around the CPU tube hole.
After a few new mounting holes are drilled to the floor and pump mounts i can actually move onto the plumbing (always my fav part)
I love a plumbing challange! and wanted to try and come up with a new design for the water tubes!
The rad is a tight fit! and i usually fit them externally! but wanted the challenge of making everthing fit inside this mod
The Good old NOS res is mounted and installed.
All hoses are tie clamped!
The pump was a tight fit! and i may swap it over for a MPC-350.
I like this LOOP! the coil effect works in well and stil has a clean flowing look to it.
