With such little metal left on that one panel, won't it get rather "bendy"? Or will the window reduce it?

 

It should by fine once it's on the case then it's nice and sturdy. It did have a bit of flex to begin with and I can't really say that it flexes more now, pretty much the same. Also yea the windows will strengthen it once it's on :)

 

Nice job with the window mods on the case, keep it up

 

Thanks mate :D

They're quite flimsy but I would imagine a window will give them strength back. TBH 3mm acrylic is probably less flexible than the very thin steel they use on this case.

I was just looking for some modded 250D's on google and found this exact case in gold(I think the picture was taken at a show or a lan) lol 

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

Hey guys,

 

New update for TOXIC CHROME!

 

Just a quick look at the pump and other res combo that will be going in the build and how it will be placed.

Changing to a multi option top so that I can run the loop back to the top of the res.

These EK reservoirs looks awesome, first time using these!

Thanks for checking it out!

Ah cool, thanks though this is how I received the case from GGF LAN. I didn't spray it. It us pretty nice though and seems to be really good quality paint.

Hey guys,

 

Back with another update on Toxic Chrome.

 

I made all the modifications needed on the case and it has now left to get powder coated. The frame of the case and other bits will be powder coated a dark navy blue and the side and top panels will be powder coated chrome. Hopefully the chrome powder coat will come out good.

 

Here's a look at the case with the side panel windows cut, filed and all ready. Also mounted the pump/res combo and drilled the hole for the Vandal switch. That is just a test Vandal switch. I will be receiving a nickel plated one from MNPCTECH which is currently on the way.

I know here that the res doesn't sit in the middle but in order to make the loop work I think that this is how I will need to sit it. This may change however so we will see.

All the side panel windows. I went and drilled holes in each corners of the windows for mounting the acrylic however I forgot to take pics of this. You guys will see that once the case is back.

Pump/res combo mounted.

Vandal switch mounted on top of the front panel frame.

I will be making a new front panel out of 1mm aluminum which will cover this section here. I will stick that to the existing front panel in order to continue to be able to use the clip on and feature and access the dust filter behind it.

I also cut the HDD cage in half as I will need to mount this back in the case to support the MB tray. I cut some 1mm aluminum panels which will be bolted on to help clean up the HDD cage look as that will be seen through the res window.

All this will be powder coated blue.

 

And that's about it for now. Hopefully I will get the case powder coated and back sometime next week.

 

Thanks for checking it out.

 

Cheers,

 

Alex

Hey guys,

 

I got the case back from powder coating!

 

Here are some quick shots I took of the case. I think the navy blue looks awesome and matches the fan blade colour really well.

 

The side panels are not finished yet as they had mistakenly coated them the same navy blue, they are now getting redone in chrome.

I will be getting the front panel and rear feet colour matched to the same powder coated blue but will obviously get it painted.

Thanks for checking it out guys and let me know what you think of the blue, I really like it.
