Hey all, I'm almost finished with my second project and since I'm here I may aswel show you all what I'm currently doing.

It's not been all that long since my first build really but here I am being trusted with another project but this time with a new sponsor, be quiet! and this is something that I've really been looking forward to.



I've actually let her take a few measurements and not double checked them so if something doesn't fit it's down her.


Next up of course is some prep work along with the paintwork, the top panel and the removable cover are both being painted, the top panel is staying white whilst I have something special planned for the removable cover, you will find more on that closer to the time.

And to give you an idea of how this goes together...

You're probably wondering where the front panel is by now? Well Actually I've just not got around to that yet, I've de-badged it ready for paint but as I mentioned above with the removable panel, this will have something a little more special added to it.

time to show you what I'm currently doing to the fans, just adding a little sparkle and high gloss shine to help give the fans an icy look to them.

I gave the fans a few extra coats, wasn't too pleased with the look so here's the new improved version.

Time to get the front coated with primer ready for the artwork that will come.

I've even attempted some mountain silhouettes but I need more practice, however they will look better once I've added a few details.

I wasn't going to use a HDD in this case but still want to keep a HDD caddy, I may have a use for it in the end though, we will see.

Over the next week we should be finished, hate to say it but having my daughter around throughout the school holidays sure slowed down this build but I'm more than happy to see the end is near!

In my opinion is where the look of the rig starts to change completely!

Not going to be so bland after all.

Nuna, All alone? ... I think not.
I'm really liking where this is heading, however I'd like to hear some of your opinions from what you see here?

You're painting these yourself?
Nah I wish I could take the credit for these entirely but I cannot. My choice of artwork and does have some of my work in them but turns out I'm not talented in the art department so have had a friend help out for basically anything that requires detail. Sadly he wishes not to be named at the moment and isn't even a member here but I'm trying to change that.
 
This is really interesting and different, it's great :)

I built into the same case earlier this year but went quite boring - allllll black. Even made black shrouds and covers, and re-anodised heatsinks for the motherboard black. Clear frosted tubing though so I could potentially add some colour there!

The amount of people who say this is different is great! :P

Certainly is what I was going for and I think I've won people over with this design too, glad it's being accepted. :)

I've yet to build a rig with a loop, sadly, however that is all about to change from next weekend when I start my next project!
