UPDATE

 

So today I decided to paint the rads blue, same color as the case. I reckon they came out pretty good, love that glossy look :D


Here we go:


All ready to get started. It was a pain covering up those pins, especially since there is another layer underneath around every side to protect the rad from punctures in case you go in to deep (that's what she said) with the screws.

In case you're wondering why the screws are in the middle mounting holes on the fatter rad, it's because I made the holes on the sides fit M4 bolts as I couldn't find M3 50mm long for the front panel. Didn't have any other long M4 bolts to use when painting.

Anyways, what do you guys think of the rads? I'm thinking to do some yellow diagonal stripes on the front panel rad. I think that would look pretty cool :D

I have to say, you'd probably be better off with yellow tubing and plain distilled water, since the colored coolants can cause heat issues from gunking up your system. Wouldn't be hard to find pastel yellow tubing. Just a thought.

 

Can't wait to see the final pic's

I'm a big fan of colored coolant mate. I like seeing it through all the water blocks, that's why I'm also using EK clear nickel plexi blocks. Plus I've never had any problems with Mayhems coolant, been using them for about 3 years now :)

More pics of the rads :D

The top one is done and mounted back into its position :). Also I did those lines on the front rad. I don't think they came out too good ... What do you guys think?

I also ordered some Avery Clear Vinyl Sheets so I can print out some cool custom vinyl stickers for the case.

Hello there guys and girls! Here it is, the case has now been reassembled and I reckon the painted rads look pretty good :D

I managed to fix the uneven edges of the stripes by cutting very thin pieces of the carbon fiber vinyl that I have, was much easier that sanding and repainting and it also looks good :P

Also as you may have spotted from the pics, I cut a piece of vinyl in the shape of the Vault Tec logo and stuck the Bitfenix logo in the middle of that. I went around local areas and tried to find someone that can make the Vault Tec logo for me properly out of metal, acrylic or something but they were all charging more than $100 for that and I can't afford to spend that much money just for a logo. I'm also gonna get one of those spiral cutting attachments for my rotary tool and try to cut the shape out of acrylic and see how that looks if I manage to do it :o. If not then I think the vinyl logo looks pretty good as it is now.

I like the bio hazard grill on the back, so much that I adapted it and 3d printed one of my own!

Good news !!! The motherboard arrived today and I love it :D. I immediately mounted everything in the case in order to test all the components, especially the second hand ones. I'm glad to say that everything is working fine. Please excuse my ghetto mounting but there was no way I was getting the PSU and those stiff cables in the case.

Well yea, it will have an EK water block on it with a backplate that I'm gonna make from acrylic or aluminium, or just buy the EK backplate. So the GPU wil pretty much be black with the clear nickel plexi block on it and yellow coolant flowing through it :D
