totaly custom painted WC rig - Progress log

[R B Customs]

added an almost homeopathic amount of red food colouring ( although not advised to to line staining... but that really doesnt matter)
about a drop of this mixxed in an eye dropper of water, then a coule drops of that tipped the colour JUST over the /pink red baorderline... looks sweet now

thats some REAL nice work there, awesome.

i'm just starting to get into airbrushing, a case will be my first piece to do properly. i'll be trying to keep it as simple as poss what with it my first real go

cool ! good luck with it mate, i love the airbrush because its somtimes so forgiving. outside of my case is SLOWLY gettign done, just not eben doing it since ive been concentrating on the inside so much !

**EDIT**
~ painted drives work btw !! - oh ye of little faith ~

Painting over the holes :/

yea, loads of people on other forums were telling me they wont work yada yada yada, because most discks have vents on top of em, well ive had a maxator appart and the lids are solid, to eb honest i dont know where the vents are on em :|

temps are begging to even out as the paste settles in but i have 2 of the worst 120mm fans possible they barly produce any cfm lol (standard ones that came with my case pre-volt modded)

graphics = idle at 37, load at 44
C P U = Idle at 38 load at 43 - 46

the temps WERE a lot worse though :|, the CPU was gettign up to 62 degrees lol, which is what the stock HSF does, but a remount fixxed that. and theres still the odd bit of air being released every now and then dont know what my room temperature is but its damn hot lol

i think im gonna go for some Akasa Ambers, theyre the right colour and seem to eb the best out of all the clear fans

if anyone else can reccomend a decent clear or red fan go for it, hight CFM, low noise is the brief. ive considdered the nexus fans, but theire CFM is jsut too low to egt the best out my black ice xtreme

yea i can paint some fans for sure. but dont really wanna paitn the blades tbh, i love the look of the ambers. ive heard good things about both papst and panaflo though , so i wont turn em down yet.

id love to know what the stats are on these current fans, they are truly silent,
they apparently run at 932 RPM @ 12 V

heres a screenie of the temps, ignore the nooby circles lol it was to show a mate

to be honest theyre nto that bad at idle, but i think with a heavy overclock the fans would be letting me down temperature wise

 

[R B Customs]

If The next screnie of that setup i see doesn't say 4ghz on it, i will hunt you down and kick you squarely up the ass!

Watch out when using that Ai Booster, it has a tendency to reset your Vcore to stock, even when you've set it to say, 1.6v in bios, by the time you've booted into windows and that thing has started up, it has reset your Vcore to stock, resulting in a very unstable overclock.

i tried for 4.1 but windows wouldnt boot. what voltage is reccomended to stable it ?
i just nocked it back to 4.0

no using ai booster btw,. only for temps really

 

[R B Customs]

Have you done the side panels yet?

na not yet, one is almost done, just cannot get round to doing it to be honest !
i know as soon as i start to make make a finish ill just keep going til i get to the end though.
busy looking for drivig instructiors nd stuff at the moment lol

 

[R B Customs]

Thought about winning some stuff by putting it in CustomPC when you have finished it??

Stelly

yea might give it a bash lol. i always read that section. might try and make a start on the pannels today, just wondering whether to close this thread, and open a new one in case central, or general hardware maybe ... dons?

 

[R B Customs]

lol its a bit strong for me

ohh just wait til you see the OUTSIDE of the case lmao..

well, the outside is almost there chaps, jst ran out of my secret paint recipe though, and need it to complete the paintwork... lets just say its looking HOT !

dont wanna post 'progress' pictures as the mid stages of airbrush art looks really, REALLY crap lol. and no one will understand, and bla bla bla. so ill take piccies when its done, probs by the end of the week if im lucky

need more supplies though.
god bless house of kolor

 

[R B Customs]

Tom didnt you have an anodised case that colour ????

he may have been refering to how drasticly horrible it looks in the first few pics lol. its hard to photograph red without it looking totaly different to what it does in RL. indact, ive found red to be the hardest colour to work with.

stelly: i swear i took my camera down to the garage, turned it on and 'eeek errrrr klink' batteries lmao my new 2600 Mha batteries have died, theyre charging now though lol... the camera doesnt worjk with those cheap acid batterioes weve all got drawers full of either

 

[R B Customs]

thats all your getting for the moment
mu ha ha ha ha
lol
debating whether to leave the 'grey bit' fgrey, or do it the same orange as the 'orange bits' lmao... ill decide when i remove the masking liquid form the 'grey bit'
