In hind sight I could have sparayed it without taking it apart, but I enjoyed doing this last night and tbh its ensured its done better now.

Just checked my rad and I'm not happy with the orange, it needs another 1 or 2 coats, so I've just sprayed on a third coat, lets see if it needs a 4th once dry.

Radiator has now had 4 coats of orange and is now dry.

My weekend job is to strip some fans down and paint them. I will update once done

I didn't think i was going to like this but the contrast between the orange and the black on both the rad and psu looks really good.

Antec tricool fans. stripped down and motor and bearings taped up and just sprayed the primer, waiting for it to dry then putting on the first layer of orange

Will be popping in to have a little nose every once in a while

Well initial thoughts on the fans is that I'm not happy with them. Added another layer of paint just now, will leave it till tonight and see what I think then.

I'm considering getting some orange LED fans instead though.

Maybe just the orange fins would look better in a black surround?

Then bang some white leds onto them?

Could make them stand out more?

Ace Modder · 5 Oct 2013 at 23:51

Not really happy with either of these

davido_labido · 6 Oct 2013 at 00:05

Middle ones look spot on imo mate, not too much, but still in keeping withthe overall build!

pgi947 · 6 Oct 2013 at 10:11

Middle ones look fine, plug it in and see how it looks? Or as davido suggested, stick an led behind it and see how it looks?

jonnyp1993 · 6 Oct 2013 at 10:53

the middle one is the best looking one to be honest, to much orange on the first one lol

dfour · 8 Oct 2013 at 15:37

Not my colour choice but its looking interesting there Ace

Middle one with gloss black frame would look nice.

Case has finally been ordered today... after changing my mind 5 or 6 times what I wanted
It has cost me over €500 including shipping.
