Well I have spoken to DemciFlex and they are making me some custom dust filters for this, looking forward to receiving them next week

+1 for the SLR. Much better images.

This is going to be very orange by the time it is finished. Always nice to see a colour different from usual blue, black or red.
No not Fanta, Ace Modder obviously has an orange obsession but I am torn between whether he has been Tango'd or whether he is an Umpa Lumpa

Noiseblocker have kindly agreed to supply me with 20 fans which I intend to paint orange and laquer. The fan of choice is the B12-3.

OH LAWL
But Antecs fans tend to break if you remove the fins as they are not meant to be removed! I intend to paint this orange. The noiseblockers are easy to remove.
See here RJK
I'm not here to give a biased opinion about a personal build I'm doing. I have certain requirements etc, for example my case choice is not Antec, but I hold my hands up and say that Antec don't have a case which fits my requirements for this specialised project.
Same with the fans - I ended up breaking 3 fans trying to remove the fins from them in order to paint them. And lets be honest how many people actually paint fan blades? A small specialised amount only.
I'm happy to admit that our fans are good, but not suitable for my needs on this occasion.
The PSU is Antec as that 100% suits my needs to a tee. OEM is Delta and they are the best of the best in OEMs. There is a reason 8pack uses Antec PSU's to smash all his world records

Delivery has just arrived.
Fans are going to be used as general chassis fans. Orange LEDs FTW! 2 in the front, two at the rear

Just came across this thread, Beautiful case and a very nice build so far.
For future reference when spraying, use some Scotchbrite to flatten the paint down on all surfaces prior to the finish coat, be it Lacquer/Glaze. This helps to give you a better finish, in terms of removing imperfections and noticeably Oranagepeel.
It`s a little extra work, but well worth the effort.

2000 Grit is ideal with lots of warm soapy water.
