While I had a bit of spare time from marbling the mobo cover,I decided to take a few shots of the frame for the few that cant wait,this is just the first of many coats....

Anything gloss looks ugly imo, but it's your project :P

 

 

Loving the yellow, where's @rukimaru or however you spell it

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

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

But gloss will give the paint loads of depth,there are certain advantages to a high gloss finish..

 

I do like Satin as well tho,better for Photo's!

I should really save these till later but Im really happy how the marble came out!
This is still very much WIP,the recesses need to be airbrushed in black and the slots need some plastidip action....but.....its looking good!

The naked z97 Gryphon,I quite like the look of it naked,its a hidden gem.

The slots tho......no good. They need to be colour changed,brown is not the way forward!

Make the slots yellow (I assumed you are going to do black), would be a great accent.

I don't agree. Many years ago I built a rig called "RadioMACtive" and painted it with both pink and yellow fluorescent paint. At first I just blew down the main colours over white primer. The finish was satin'ish'.

 

As soon as I started blowing on the clear it was obvious that clear was the way to go. It gave the paint so much extra depth and brightness. Sure, the colours are very very bright but if that's where you're going you need to go big or go home IMO.

 

Not going to be to everyone's taste of course, and that's fine. If you were an 80s kid like me and B-negs it'll make perfect sense. I still remember sitting around the house in my towelling flouro socks lol.

So today was my birthday and what better way to celebrate than to finish up the motherboard and spray the matching Keyboard,in this instance the Corsair K65 tenkeyless (Pics will be forthcoming)

I also need to look at replacements for the MIPS hold down bolts as the stock ones are not pretty....

Seeing as no one will see the back,I had a little fun....

To tidy up the edge of the card PCB I used 1.5mm Vinyl,easily removed it the card requires RMA!

I got the RAM today,a total bargain of Amazon!
4x4Gb of Crucial Ballistix 1600 (Remember this is a gaming PC),I know these sticks can hit 2000-2100@1.65v with some tweaking so I think I had a result!

Obviously,the stickers are staying till I test them,I am normally lucky with hardware but RAM....well.....you know....

If only both sides were like this......

Now,because the branding is discreet,im in a quandary...Do i marble DIMMS or just leave them vanilla?

My head says yes..and some stripes in the recesses to boot but the black chunky HS look is hard to ignore....

Looks VERY beautiful, but is it only me or are all your pictures' colors oversaturated? they just don't look natural to me.

Can you take it apart and just paint the inside? Like in the second to last picture you can see the inside of the ram. Maybe paint that green? It would be a nice contrast without being too over the top/excessive. I drew a pic of what I mean. Also, don't be jealous of my artistic talent. I know it's amazing, but it's the result of years of practice. Everyone starts somewhere :P You paint the red parts green. Alternatively you could leave it all black, that would look fine too.

The tray has arrived from E22,this is a sacrificial tray mainly for checking the clearances and the hole positions are correct. thankfully they are but I realized I can move the mobo 5mm forward and 10mm up,making more space for the rads/fans.

The mobo is hard up against the PSU bay,only 4mm clearance.

The GPU's are just resting in there until the 11m standoffs arrive and I can use the pillars that Kier thoughtfully sent me from his banchetto.
