PROJECT: FLAME ORANGE

Hi guys.

EDIT: 21/10/2013
Offical sponsors

I am planning a refresh of my PC. You may remember my last build, Project Abino.

Well this time I'm going for something a little more unique

I have the following items sat on my desk.

This is to paint my radiator frames etc.

The case I'm getting is very special, and I am planning to get it powder coated in orange also. The case I have ordered is full aluminium, which is already powder coated in black, but I'm having it stripped and done in orange powder coat.

Mick from Mayhems has kindly provided me 2 large bottles of Orange fluid for the w/c.
This build will be a slow and steady process, the case will take around 4-6 weeks to arrive I think.

Thanks to Bitfenix for the LED strips and orange coloured cables

A big thank you goes to Pascal at Aquatuning for sorting me out a great deal on the case. Well happy with it now

Thanks to Noise blocker for the support in the way of 20 x fans for my build

Sounds great. Any hints as to what the case you're getting is?

you need to stock these rather beautiful "MM" cases.

Ace Modder · 3 Oct 2013 at 10:51

As in me? I dont work for OcUK anymore lol.

The problem is there are so many options and selections from MM that people want their own choice over pre-selected options from a EU/UK reseller.

rjk · 3 Oct 2013 at 10:59

you work for antec, yet are using a non antec case.

ok.

My forum title says Antec rep and my profile avatar says vendor rep?

What more do you need from me?

I used to work for OcUK, until May.

Subscribes..

I'm just about to spray my 360 rad frame white for my new NXZT 810. Can you suggest any form on finishing?

I haven't decided how to finish my rad frames yet. I will decide once I have primered and sparyed it orange. But currently I think I will get a lacheur spray (spelling lol)

davido_labido · 3 Oct 2013 at 11:10

haha, yeah, i noticed after i posted tbh, ive no idea where the hell i saw the ocuk bit then :/

Admiral Huddy · 3 Oct 2013 at 11:14

I failed at trying spell that too Ace.. I've placed some card over the fins, lightly rubbed down with wet'n'dry and spaying in layers to get an even cover.

How about some orange connectors? I was thinking of fixing white bitspower connectors but the are a bit pricey so was thinking of spaying some bog standard ones. As long as i avoid the thread, it shouldn't be a problem.

thats what i did in my build log huddy (the parvum one) worked like a charm, without the wet n dry this time! just primer, spray and laquer

i'm doing that with wet and dry, taking the top layer off so the primer takes better. I'm getting Monsoon orange fittings too.

The world needs more orange!

Although I've only seen the photo of the paint, I already like where this is going. It'll be good to see everything colour coordinated inside the case. Looking forward to seeing future updates
