I'm excited to announce that 25 of my Tristellar Cases were listed on Newegg this week!



Applied clear coat to the right side panel and PSU shroud last night. Starting on the top grill artwork today!

Brad airbrushed Spock onto top grill of the Phanteks Luxe yesterday...and cursed at me the whole time about "50% of my canvas is missing"...

Looks really nice! Will you shoot the airbrushed Spock with clear to seal it, or something else?

Thank you! I'm betting some of you were already Star Wars fans too ?! I recruited Cheaps to design a limited handful of our Overkill machined aluminum fan grills in anticipation of "The Force Awakens"

Super nice build ! It would be awesome if the power/reset buttons where capacitive touch and looked like LCARS panel buttons.

Thank you for the post!

 

Did anyone else see The Martian this weekend? I'm calling it Ridley's Redemption for Prometheus :D

Steps in painting Koolance Rp-452x2 Reservoir faceplate

 

1. Medium grit sand paper to promote adhesion on face. (Not necessary to remove anodized surface)

2. Clear off surfaces with Tack Cloth, and Tape Off inside portion of plate

3. Apply SEM Self Etching White primer, allow cure for 30 minutes 

4. Apply 5 coats in 5 min intervals of Rustoleum brand Gloss White Enamel paint from Home Depot

5. Allow Rustoelum Enamel paint to air dry cure for 24 hours before handling

6. (Optional) Apply Gloss Clear coat finish to paint (next step this weekend)

I use 3M 233+ auto body tape. Great adhesion, no glue residue

I used a small touch-up brush on portions that didn't get fully covered with the tape.

Tomorrow I'll clear coat it.

If you're interested in learning more about the case I'm modding, I posted a video review of it here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-Y1Cr_uJdo

Had few minutes to work on this project over the weekend. Received Koolance 90 fittings, got the Koolance dual res installed. Also, for anyone interested in the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe tower, you can fit Darkside's 240/360 27.5mm slim radiators under the top cover. I'll try and remember to measure the total space under the cover when I return to the shop this week.
