Bring them on

I'm out at the moment, (posting on my BlackBerry) so will post pics when I get back later in the evening

the system has been bled and all is well. I have also finished painting (except the stencils which I am now re-considering due to them being so difficult and running the risk of ruining the rest of the case!) YEY

Im FINISHED!!!

Very sadly however, the plastic cross beam on the front directly under the res was accidentally snapped off, but its barely noticeable

I decided to re-paint the grills back to black! And have stripes running along the front and top. Marked areas with masking tape. Here you can see examples of the black grill.

After painting:

All pipes fitted yey! (RES - PUMP - GPU - CPU - RAD)

Bleeding/leak testing. 50/50 EC6 Red and De-ionised water

And here it is!! All running PERFECT

The cathodes are white

However the slow shutter function turns them blue (possibly because of the volume control on that speaker!)

Im very pleased with where I am, and I round this project off very happily, YEY

That's looks sweeeeeeeet.... What are your temps now?. Have you still got your 2 140mm fans at the top? If so are they blowing in or out?.
I love the red dye with white neons and the white and black looks nice

... All in all good job.

the guts!

That has turned out great

Just need to paint the front of the fan controller now, and maybe swap it's LED's. That's the only thing (slightly) spoiling the overall looks.

Very beautiful colour

Different

Nice choice of red fluid!

Love this case, and love the 'stormtrooper' look you gave to it even more!

Thanks, I think I might call this Project Stormtrooper now!

Btw, for anyone interested, the fluid is 50/50 Thermochill EC6 Red and de-ionised/distilled water.!

By mixing it, did it make the colour less potent?

That was my intention, as it's a seriously strong dye in EC6. It's still a really vibrant red, but allows more white light through from the cathodes/fans. I also did it to make cleaning everything easier as the dye's staining effect won't be so severe if I want to make a colour change
