While I'm waiting on stuff to arrive I did a quicka nd dirty photoshop of a plan for a psu box..

 

[ShaolinDreams]

Great work man looking forward the finished result

Are you going to give the case a slightly worn look with something like a black ink wash?

Definitely thinking about it.. It would be a shame to leave it untouched!!

Finally got some more stuff delivered...




Some "liver of sulfur" to oxidise the nickel on the Bitspower fittings..




Also received this lovely box.. (Feels quite heavy, wonder what it could be..?)

Ooo look, it's something to power these power hungry GTX470's...
















So many connectors...




24pin and 12V




4 x 6+2pin pci-e




8 x Peripheral (Molex)




8 x SATA






I want to give a massive thank you to Paul at Corsair for supplying me with this lovely PSU, for being so supportive and for believing in me..

Very professional build... looking forward to seeing it completed Love the theme!

Finally some A-TACS time!!

Got a roll of A-TACS hydrographic film this morning..




Nothing magical about this horrible looking over pan, but that's where the magic happens..




Not the best result after applying the matte clear cote .. uke:
Seems like it desolved the film!



Anyway, no take backsies or do-overs so I used a scotch brite dish scrubber and some Tamiya hobby paint to give it a weathered look

Think it's the best outcome of a bad situation..

Not too much to show so far this week, started with the GPU block and redid it 3 times due to what I can only describe as OCD...
