That laser etching is amazing. Might have to ask Nate if he could do it for one of my projects!

Thanks guys.... I have 2 days at home to finish this build now (Tuesday and wednesday) and then it will be on show!
Getting slightly worried whether I will finish in time, but I think I should be. Fingers crossed for no problems Haha =D

Not long now Steve!
Tbh, it's just sorting out cable management (which will be a huge job in this case Haha) fill the loop and test it and then make sure it all works ready for it to be on an awesome stand at I54 =D

Be careful where you grab the crimping tools from, some won't work with atx pins, I can't tell from that pic on rapid online (the crimps are the same, just not sure about the teeth which is what matters)
If you want to be sure look at e22.biz they have crimping tools regularly that are pre set for atx pins for sure!

its actually just cheap automotive paint, as long as your not too crazy with it you can get some good results!
right folks, need your help again! ive been nominated for mod of the month over at bit-tech!!! if you guys have an account, could you please pop in a vote for me?
http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=282671
thanks!!
Thanks! Brilliant work, my vote is yours !
depends entirely on what it is tbh buddy, if it has a rubber coating or is really glossy, i will give it a quick rub with some wet and dry just so the primer sticks better
Cheers mate, i'm going to do the same with my hyper x SSD's when home in the summer.
Presumably taking them apart voids warranty?

Nice one Davido,will pop over to vote
thanks folks! its appreciated!! im not actually fussed about the prizes really, its just always nice to see that my build won something when i speak to my sponsors haha
yeah, you have to either remove or puncture the warranty sticker on the back. Its not a massive issue for me as they are sponsored products, so please do be careful, i wouldn't want to see my ideas have broken your SSDs =(!!
make sure you take some pics! I will send them to HyperX and show them your work!
That's it, layer up the cringe, get it all in.
Those sponsor details are slick, really subtle I like them. Keep at it, I want to eyeball it over the weekend.
JR
Yeah, I'll be super careful
unfortunately I won't be back in the UK until July now but as soon as it's done I'll give you a shout bud!
