Was originally thinking of powdercoating the outside glossy white and the inside matte black. Now maybe thinking outside glossy black and inside matte black.

Then have white lights, white fans and UV lights and cathodes.

Thoughts on colour schemes?

Oh and what tools do you think will be necessary?

My build is mainly black and white (Black exterior and interior, except white mesh when I've finished it and white PCI brackets) White braided cables, white PSU and White Dual Pump Top.... Then the only green is the coolant.

What colour is your mobo and RAM?

Cleeecooo · 24 Jul 2011 at 20:29

Black mobo, silver ram. And a blue graphics card. Need to get myself some EVGA love if somebody - anybody will buy my graphics card.

My rig is probs going to be black blue and green. Maybe White.

iB CoMpL3XiTy · 24 Jul 2011 at 20:31

Oh and Tools...

Uhmmm, Fine sand paper, a lot of time... Spray paint, Clean enviroment to work in and just make sure the surface your spraying is clean/dust free. You'll want some primer too and lacquer

Not goon to spray my rads. They're already black

iB CoMpL3XiTy · 24 Jul 2011 at 21:06

Yeah they haven't got any in stock atm though....

You could spray em metalic blue... Or UV Blue. Just chucking idea's out there.

Cleeecooo · 24 Jul 2011 at 21:19

I'll have fans on them but might spray the outer edge in White?

WTF? my iPhone is so racist. It capitalises whit but not black or brown!!!

Hahaha! naughty iphone...

Yeah that wold look cool, very easy to do aswell providing you can remove the motor and blades.

Cleeecooo · 24 Jul 2011 at 21:49

I can withthe abolishes. But I was talking about the radiator edge. Might aswell do the fans aswell. I'm not sure whether I should get blue or White fans. I already have 4 blues. I'm also unsure whether or not I should get a 240 rad aswell.

I was thinking of possibly getting the GTS 240 as it's slim.

More rads can only be a good thing surely?

Well its up to you... I think it would look awesome if you painted both the RAD edge and the fans

I have an XSPC RS360 in the roof and a G Changer V1.2 480 in the bottom

not sure whether or not if would be a waste. I guess I'll have to see if the bank allows. ATM only have £545 to spend. May go up as I have some cash lying around which I need to take to the bank.

I think I will. Not sure what colour though.

Thinking of buying a dremel 300.
http://www.tool-shop.co.uk/Dremel/Tools/Dremel/8710364030521/300-55+with+FlexShaft.html

Anyone know if that kit has everything needed to cut metal and do all the polishing and sanding needed for a smooth finish and also for the spraying?

If budget allows I'll get everything powdercoated and spray anything that's left.

Also need to get a block for my 8800GTX

I think the short answer is, no.
Depends what metal you want to cut, but if it's steel then I don't think a Dremel is the best. I cut a hole in the back of a motherboard tray (for changing the CPU retention bracket thing) and I believe that was steel. I went through 2 disks just doing that!
Also the sanding and polishing bits seem poor (or in fact non-existent) unless I'm doing it wrong!

Cleeecooo · 24 Jul 2011 at 23:58

It says on the product description that it has bits for polishing and sanding.

I'm planning on cutting 1.7 mm thick aluminium. I'll also be getting some sort of ridiculously sharp, stabby thing to make some sort of a Mark first.

iB CoMpL3XiTy · 25 Jul 2011 at 07:52

I've used a Dremel 300 on my TJ07... it came with some metal cutting disks, I did go through one disk for a small cut.. (it was to route PSU cables behind the motherboard tray)

Cleeecooo · 25 Jul 2011 at 08:50

I think I'll buy it and see how it goes.

Can anyone recommend a decent drill?
