Project:CM 690 II Adv. Custom Orange(jaffacakebake :P )

most pcs are black, blue green, silver, white etc etc so i thought of a random bright colour....

This pc is and will be orange and black with orange Fans and Orange LEDs, all cabling will be black with some blue to go with the motherboard.......i think lol we will see.

I took pics of my work in stages

orange!! :D nice one m8, but I don't think you should get those ugly looking akasa orange fans, get the orange bladed white led xigmatek fans :D
Click to expand...

just seen this post sorry.
yeh i have the xigmatek bookmarked for a later date.....i have always liked akasa fans, cheap, quiet and do the job... i wanted orange LED so i thought i would give the Akasa ones a chance..... im hoping my fans dont become the focal point of my build lol.
 
aye phil i have been considering the window panel but i would like one without a fan mount on it if i was to get one.

the fan controller is an antic lool, i was given this and havent used it so i thought i would stick it in this build until i am finished filling........if its staring in at my face on a daily basis i will remember to replace lol.

F- me Gdubs man u got some sexy talent with your modding......i got lost in those 2 threads for a decent 15 mins each <3 :P

yeh cheers...... i got a present from mr Postman for my tower, 2 cougar vortex(sure i ordered 4), 2 akasa orange LED case fans, 16gb Vengence(blue to go with mobo) and a £40 voucher off wine..........Who the **** wants a £40 voucher off a 12 case of wine when you buy a case worth over £90 lol, didnt they see i was buyin pc parts and not Tampons??? I WANT BEER!!!!! :)


theres your proof hahaha, on a lil random project 'Junk' i made yesterday.

(on Junk pc)yeh possibly....once i get the extension cables and mount the PSU i will prob mesh out the back with a 120mm fan or 2 to draw air through and out back of pc..

(on Orange Pc) i have purchased a few tools to handcraft a lil design on the side panel of pc as i know i can buy a new one if i mess it up lol, maybe some colours, maybe just panel it, idk yet....ill see how the cutting goes lol, if you see me with a new side panel then u know it went wrong xD
 
i tidied the cables up and for the 4pin, 24pin and probably the 6/8pin cables i plan on purchasing Black extension cables, atm i have blue and red sata cables but i will either sleeve em or buy pre sleeved ones....too many choices :P ..... i put an orange LED 80mm fan on the right hand side panel for some orange glow from behind the motherboard...its small so it may not have a great amount but lets hope its enough.

i lined up what i got atm..

the fan on the left will move to the top of the case above the H100 if it fits, if not ill find somewhere for it :P

all i need now is to buy a window and some u channel/ rubber window channel stuff.. was thinking of orange tinted acrylic but because of the fan mount/grill on the side panel i have had to cut it quite close to the edge of the rear of the case frame so im lookin at somethin as thin as 1-2mm .

Probably just flash from camera or bad lighting.

bit of both, its from my phone and a 40watt bulb in the livingroom, better for getting the kids to sleep lol.

same colour and i wanted a big window, ima put a sticker on the side where the hard drives are or maybe get a lazercut design on the glass/plastic. not decided yet, see how much this company want for it.
 
the case was already treated and shiney so i dint need to sand anything on it, i just recoated it, this paint sticks to anything... montana white series is glossy and covers all surfaces so im sure its self etching :P

they do nice blue and have many dfferent kinds of spray, i got mines on Flee'bay
 
yeh straight enough, i just laminated the livingroom, bedroom and on-suite ast week so i had a lot of practice with the jiggy. i went slow so i could keep an eye on the blade, the edges were a lil shaggy but 2 or 3 pulls on each side with a flat smooth file.

aint got a dremil and not used one in about 5 years, had the jigsaw there and im pretty decent with them. Personally i would say jigsaw is better as u can start/stop without movin saw and its a smaller blade for doin the corners. But its what you prefer and what you feel more comfy with i suppose.
