I hope you will like the project and the work I'm doing! Ok,lets start modding

First the tools. Variety of hand and power tools

The phanteks case which I purchased few months ago.
Totally stripped

I decide to replace most of the rivets with m4 screws

Drive bay cage

This time I'm dealing with perspex acrylic.

This button head screws are just temporary,before I tap the holes for countersink screws.

Here is the reservoir bracket almost done.I have something in mind to cut in the acrylic I'm not planing any laser cutting, everything will be done by hand.

Cutting the acrylic plate

Usual tools for my mod

And what I'm going to cut

Yes,EK logo

One peace down

One blade also down

Job done

But then,when I was filing and polishing disaster happened

Back from point A

This time I was more careful

This attempt was more successful

Still need to tap the holes for the screws.

This time I'm cutting aluminium. I will replace the phanteks plate with my own.Here we go

Some filing

Final cuts

And on the case. Still need to be painted but painting will come later

It is time for painting

Firs task is to clean the rads

Spray paint and primers

Main colour, of-course Blue

But fluorescent blue.Glows really nice under UV light.

Few coats of white primer

It was a very long post I hope you guys will like it. Stay tuned for more.

It's looking very promising already.

I love my Enthoo case, but the reservoir mounting plate is definitely the weak point in my opinion. It just gets in the way of longer GPUs, and the narrow part that's supposed to accommodate SLI just isn't in the right place for the slots that modern motherboards support SLI on. I'm really interested to see how your custom made mount works out.

 

[rrmitko]

I was lucky that my EVGA 970 FTW is not that long,and fits perfectly even if I go for SLI.

Excellent work with the hand cutting my friend, especially the ally plate!

Hi lads,

Another update with photos from my project

Rads painted

I have to say,that this blue colour is really nice Still many parts need sanding and painting.Here is some progress on that direction

Really nice looking build there.

Loving the use of vallejo paints; I've used them for years (not for this use) and they are fantastic.

Subbed.

That blue is great! Can't wait to see if under proper light. Love the cutting!
