Buy this case.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/.....6811233013

Paint case interior matte black.

Fashion a custom delrin piece to cover the top of my bright red gfx card.

Disconnect all annoying lights on the case.

Modify water cooling tubing runs to take advantage of extended case interior.

If possible tint acrylic window case comes with or modify a sheet a sheet of smoked acrylic to properly mount to the side panel.

So what do you all think? Comments, Criticisms, Ideas, Advice?

I think this is a very nice case for a water cooling setup.... if you can i would go with a black universal TDX block.... and maybe some black fluid.... and then you should do some black PSU wraps..... but yeah thats a nice case, and your right you should take out the the lights.

Well my cpu block is already black delrin it the aquaxtreme mp-1

my tubing is black tygon A-60G

And my psu is already sleeved in black lol

So most of your recommendations are good ideas that I've already done lol Very Happy

Thanks for the feedback

Got the first of the things I've ordered.

10 ft. (fracking minimum order) of Tygon A-60-G tubing along with a 1ft x 1ft x 1/16" sheet of delrin.

If a mod could possibly move this into the project log section, I would be much obliged.

Moved. Please change the title to reflect some sort of project log name. Razz

Picked up some masking tape and a can of flat black paint.

Case will be here Saturday

Cant wait for the fun to begin!

Did a quick test of the paint on an empty Bawls can i had kicking around.

And the result =

= Phenomenal!

Got the case, partially disassembled it and painted the interior.

And the obligatory pics Very Happy

even bigger box than my old aurora!

shiny

nicely packed Very Happy

oOoOo XD I love it!

After paint!

Now, gotta let her dry and then its on to reassembly, transfer parts, make my delrin cover, and redo the water cooling loop.

Stay tuned!

did you do any sanding/prep with the case or did the paint stick just fine?

home depot was too far away, and no car, so I just went with paint on the metal. It didn't need to be the strongest finish so It's all good Smile

Pics yay!!!!!!

So, what do y'all think?

Its a little dark.

Very Happy

Jk, Nice stuff.
