And its my pleasure to thank the great folks @ Be Quiet for providing the fans and PSU for this rig!

After using their Powerzone range of PSU's,I decided I would like to use them again for this rig,this time I selected the Dark Power PSU of the 850w variety.
Now,I can see many folks asking why did I go with a semi modular unit,This unit only has the 24pin hardwired and,seeing as im stripping it for paint,its no hardship for me to sleeve.

Anyway,to the pics.

Fans,normally I would of gone straight to Alpenfohn but this time,because the PSU fan will be visible,I went with Be Quiet Silent Wings PWM so they all match up.

Nice rubberized corner mounts...or there are single side flush mounts.

A very solid feeling fan,I am impressed,much more solid feeling than my usual choices with a nice weight,rubberized rings around the intake/output for noise dampening when up hard against the case,a very nice touch!

And the PSU!

This was exciting for me,I have seen this PSU before but not in the flesh,I was very pleasantly surprised with the build quality of this unit,from the paint to the packaging,all very clean and fuss free.

A little gadget for switching from multi to single rail.

Its almost a sorry thing to strip it for paint,I originally thought the side panels were stickered up but they are not,the logo plates are a knurled finish on black and look great so im masking them off and keeping them.

The fans.....are a secret for now,I am puzzled on how to get the fan hubs off,I may have to mask the  gaps and spray the whole fan.

Chime in if you know how to get the hub off without a hammer!

Another update...they seem to be coming thick and fast!



The fans...well,I had a change of plan,I ditched the idea of painting the blades and hubs as I had a better,more discreet idea instead.

I followed this thru on to the PSU.

Initially, the PSU was going to be painted but...the top cover has the fan guard welded in so I cant separate them to paint. The rest of the chassis cant really be seen so,I compromised a little and went for a desticker and a fan ring to tie it all together.

Looking at it,im glad I went this way.

The largest thumb screws ever packed with a PSU!

I also got to work on the peripherals,im still planning the graphics for these and the KB needs some low profile key caps but....its YELLOW!!

Thankfully,that recessed Corsair logo is easily removable for paint! Masking recessed stuff is a pain!

AMAZING! are ya gonna paint the CPU block?

 

No. It doesnt need it and i run the risk of overdoing the colours.

 

 

Also....

 

The tray is at a stage where im ready to send the parts off to the machinists,E22 for the Steel and PARVUM for the Acrylic.

Only a few little thing to do,mainly marking out cable guide screw holes etc.

First renders of tray with inbuilt res.....

Wait, rewind... is that Bequiet branded thermal paste? Is this new? 

 

Also, build looks epic, if I may say so myself. Those painted Silent Wings look epic  :wub:  I love the look. I've been wanting to get BeQuiet fans for a while.. they're just kinda hard to find and quite expensive. I'll definitely go to the Silent Wings 3 from my Hyperboreas once I upgrade my rig. 

 

Cant wait to see finished product. Keep up the good work. :D

And they only take minutes on my SR2.

 

All the fans gets the striped treatment and I had a go with a new white rather than black background,I also moved all my photo kit into the loft and added another light.
