700D carbon fibre build: Blackbox II

Been at work 12.5 hrs but I love you guys so here is the backlighting tested with mobo in situ. pretty pleased with it:) Hard to get a decent photo as my camera is no good in low light (TZ7!)
I'm now thinking of hooking it up to my unused custom RGB controller PCB to slowly fade the white from low to high intensity, sorta like a 'machine spirit' for 40k fans hehe, it will be like the heart of an otherwise static system. We'll see...

Glad people are liking my project and following it!
Vinyl is purely aesthetic.

looks blue but its pure white:

PS: Not sure why my photos are coming out bigger, I am resizing them to the exact same dimensions as before... strange maybe it's the image host? using tinypic, it's a PITA but works at least...

PSS: I think I was just tired and forgot to resize them the other night, they should be ok on most people's monitors though this day and age, might resize them later

Use photobucket m8. Some of the pics seem to be taking an age to load :(. Not sure I like the grills as it spoils the carbon look.

This project is looking damn fine though! That carbon fibre look you have gone for (- the grills :p) looks very lush!
 
I used to use photobucket but it went all weird requiring account activation etc. Tinypic is no better as have to enter security txt on EVERY single photo!

They don't load that slow for me...but I am on 50mb:D

you don't like the grills? Tough buddy:p

Cheers Monkey, I thought this way once, but if you mentally prepare, watch videos and read around. Then have the right tools, lighting and patience you can surprise yourself with what new things you can do. I had to put it out my mind that the case costs what it does and just get on with it.

I am on photobucket now, FAR easier hehe

Was ill off work yesterday and wanted to crack on but kept falling asleep.
Still a bit off today but have been making some progress, pics later.

Nearly had a crisis where I thought I wouldn't be able to mount the reservoir brackets!
Some old thumb screws have provided a solution, a better than stock one at that:)

Spares jar 4tw

Davyboy I posted the link on page one where I got the vinyl from

£20 for 60x60cm

so I've spent £60 to cover the case thus far, eventually I will need one more 60x60 piece to make a window panel as I didn't originally intend to cover the motherboard area.

Side panel will be done last though as I can then decide what I want to show etc
 
I know it looks a lot, last time I applied less on my megahalems and when I took it off it hadn't spread that far...

I know people take off blocks to see how well they have mounted, I haven't done this yet maybe I should?

If it has spread out ok can I put the block back down or do you need to reapply to avoid air pockets?
