PROJECT: FLAME ORANGE

Ace Modder · 14 Oct 2013 at 14:10

Well my PSU colour matches the rest of the orange in the case.

Just need to decide what do do with the cables now on the PSU.

way to make a 1200w psu look like an SFX psu

davido_labido · 14 Oct 2013 at 19:17

absolutely looks amazing. il sort those cables out for you no problem

I should do it scouse style and put my desk on breeze blocks.

Some scally did that to my office chair when I worked in Liverpool once.

Wow great case for this build Ace!

Do agree with you about the fans, the orange doesn't look 'vibrant' enough... Maybe a glossy finish would give them enough shine?

This is looking seriously noice!

Rannoch · 15 Oct 2013 at 15:10

That's brilliant

Today I went to see RJKONEILL at OCUK. We discussed my build and I asked him for his expertise on his radiator knowledge.

I left with this.

Its a silver Aluminum framed AX480 rad from XSPC with a copper radiator.
My intention is to paint the frame orange, like my test rad, this frame actually is removable from the rad fins centre, so makes it much easier to paint too.

Thanks again RJK for the advise

a really nice piece of kit there man

i have one of the 240mm ones of these in white, really nice to work with, can be a pita to get the cover off though if you dont have those little star screwdrivers though, it took me all day to find my set -.-

I have plenty of screw driver sets, including stars

Should be a breeze for me.

Rad striped down.

First layer of primer is on and drying now.

Looking good dude, something different that is for sure. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

Not bought the AX360 yet, just got the AX480 first to test the paint on

Also they only had 1 x AX480 left. I bought the last one, the AX360 they have loads of stock still

well the ends of the rad frame have been sprayed.

3 coats so far.

The main frame has had its first coat.

Oh and I bought this for once the orange layers are finished....

Ace Modder · 17 Oct 2013 at 09:14

Well I just checked my rad frame. It looks really good in gloss, the laquer is still not dry yet though, so I will leave it till this evening to put it back together.

clone · 17 Oct 2013 at 09:30

I would leave it for a few more days mate to make sure it hardens maybe put it in a warm place.

Ace Modder · 17 Oct 2013 at 10:42

Its sat on a radiator at the moment

It's hard enough for me to put 8 screws in it. But its now left to dry completely.

Ace Modder · 17 Oct 2013 at 12:20

rjk · 17 Oct 2013 at 12:53
