#001 - "Started from the bottom..." That's where we take off. Bad lighting. Dust. Few parts that don't make it an actual "RIG". I'm looking forward making it PURE awesomeness in theme of Frozen.

So we ended up with this in an hour ;)

It slowly went to painting Front cover and X-bay doors ;)

Fingers crossed for best results ;) Edit: Front is done!! :D Love it.

P.S. Can someone tell me if those MTN 94s will stay so soft? Cause they feel almost sticky like they would eat dust "MADLY"! :D

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Small update:
W gen trying to paint side panels i left them on my balcony where they catched dust... I had to tear down whole paint of the right one and now I'm fighting with it again...

But here is a photo of front and left panel ;)

Probably today I will take the cage (skeleton whatever you call it) with MB tray and other stuff to Acid Cleaning and professional painter to put smooth Gloss white inside and back of case (just for pure sake of having it "indestructible" inside)


Question to you, guys:
For front intake, should I put
Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 140mm
or
PHANTEKS 140mm PH-F140HP_BL

First ones have better Pressure, second have better airflow. Help me :(

BTW. I'have placed a blue material as additional front filtration (It's invisible from outside)

First off, beautiful PC.

 

Second off, given your filter situation. I'd recommend any static pressure optimized fans that suit your fancy (dB levels, color scheme, price... yada yada). They are going to be able to move air more effectively through the filters. Air flow fans supply a lot of air, but only in a free flowing environment.

 

Seriously though. I like your build.

So!

WELCOME TO POLAND!

The Case was at chemical cleaning. Everything done non-profit without any papers. Job was cheap so my face could only be happy.

So you can ask:

-What's the problem then?

Boss of that small shop "lost" (probably just stole) "the most precious" thing that was left at his place... A frikkin I/O shield - Mobo back plate...

Oh! And did I mention that job is s*itty?

Now I'll have to fight with MSI to send me replacement or buy it from Africa for 30$...

At least it's now in painting and we will have results before Monday.

Now I can only go play some SimCity, because that's last thing that doesn't annoy me... Ehh...

YAY! It's time for update! :D

 

My case is back from painting. Now I need to give it some little touches (Paint back PCI cards covers glue side panel filtering n' stuff), but here come some pics :D
