[mayhem_modz]

Hi guys it time to work!!!





tolgo la partatia del vetro temperato.v



the beautiful sharkoon shark blade fans supplied with the case 5



via tutto il testo vernicero altre parti separatamente.





I remove the PSU cover and I will try it again in this way it will be easier to paint it.







naked...



let's move on to the front panel, it has 3 tempered glasses, the central one is fixed with screws on rubber washers as it should be
very easy to disassemble.









the upper and lower ones are fixed with double-sided tape have only an aesthetic function, nothing functional to avoid breaking them, I heat the surfaces with a hairdryer, a hot gun would be too much perhaps and I would risk deforming the plastic parts, this will make the adhesive softer and easier to remove, by not doing this I would risk breaking the glass.




now, surface treatment and first painting I limit myself only to scouring and cleaning with alcohol to degrease.

[mayhem_modz]

Painting case components .. my intend to transform this mod into a work of art, I also take care of the hidden details.

[mayhem_modz]

to create an erosion effect I use a fine steel scouring pad, this will allow me to opacify the paint to give it an opaque and revised effect ready for painting in acrylic color.



I made the triangular plexiglass panels again because the original ones are in tempered glass and cannot be painted.









smontaggio del resto del case fatto a pezzi.

 

 

[mayhem_modz]

surface processing, I took care not to use PRIMER in order to facilitate the peeling for the details

 

 

[mayhem_modz]

surface treatment and decoration



the paint must be opaque using a steel sponge



I use acrylic colors applied with a sponge first the black and then the silver (in a very small dose)



this is the effect

 

[mayhem_modz]

Riassembling with rivets..

 

[mayhem_modz]

Processing of the side panel which provides the logo with leds rgb

Preparation of stencils prepared with silhouette studio, decomposition of the logo
1 the! A! red which will be worked with celophan for food rolled to give the effect marble / wear and get as close as possible to the original logo
2 areas in black which will be painted later













the dabbing creates this interesting effect another light layer of red will be applied.































next phase of the RGB logo that will be applied on the bulkhead.

[mayhem_modz]

side panel with BL3 RGB logo

 

[mayhem_modz]

my intention is also to modify the motherboard to do this I have seen a number of guides for how to make a cover called "armor"
first I download a photodelleìa motherboard from the manufacturer and with photoshop I bring it in full scale, after which by opening it in adobe illustrator I get the areas to be cut







I got the mold outliner cu adhesive paper (I had a little to recycle) and I prepare the piece of acrylic (thickness 2 mm)







cut, I noticed that my motor saw did not cut well the cut was inaccurate and I decided to open it to check ....
and here's the surprise, years of braying on acrylic and tiny pieces have clogged the gears, I recommend to all modders who use it intensively to do a cleaning once a year







everything is gone now





finishing, the areas needed continuous checks and adjustments.













now I stop here I wait for the deep cool AIO to check the socket area if it needs further adjustments but I would say that we are there.

[mayhem_modz]

well ... the original feet of the case are not good they are too elegant you need something more tough that is in theme with the mod
I decide to build them, but I'm not going to make six usual feet.
I start with an aluminum strip ..















they are composed of two parts, the top and the bottom, with two pins on the sides, in this way the case can settle itself, and there will be no problem
that it is unstable rubber pads will do the rest.



painted with anthracite gray, I do not put primer, the paint must come off easily to give a wear effect in theme with the mod.







wear effect with steel wool ..











lat first part it is fixed with rivets to the case ..









final results.

[mayhem_modz]

today another sponsor has joined the mod
I'm talking about deep cool with its fantastic AIO gamer storm captain 240 PRO V2
enjoy this unboxing ...

[VIDEO]

[mayhem_modz]

today I focus on the internal panels perhaps from the noin photos you understand well but later everything will be clarified better
internally I will put 2 panels one top folded 5 times
and a lower one folded in a shield way on the sides, these will serve to put the logos as well as giving a note of color more and some logo as well as filling spaces that remaining empty would not have a nice effect.



questo è il pannello superiore interno









this the lower one





paint color anthracite light gray and opaque with steel wool.

 

[mayhem_modz]

Well guys. Today we post the progress of the works. I proceed with the covers made previously, that is the upper and lower ones. After applying the matt anthracite paint I go with the graphics and wear. Upper door panel:















Side panel with logo:







I also drive myself with a file obviously all piloted ...





Silver acrylic application on the cracks:









roceed with the rest





Case logo and removable top panel:







Graphic application and metal wear effect:

 

[mayhem_modz]

panels assembly











today a big surprise came the inno3d video card ......
unboxing soon ...

 

[mayhem_modz]

new sponsor join to the mod ram and ssd from OCPC

 

[mayhem_modz]

it's time to pick up the cover of the motherboard that I was preparing, I was waiting for the AIO of the deepcool to see if I had to do further measures but luckily there is no need.
I start immediately with a nice painted matt white.





ora procedo con la grafica rigorosamente MSI..









I take advantage of it and I place the AMD processor a nice RYZEN 5 3500G arrived from my sponsor PC HUNTER



now I proceed to the realization of the cover of the aio panel of the motherboard it is really bad to leave it uncovered





it is 3 mm thick acrylic.





anthracite gray paintwork





after having applied the motherboard model, I proceed with the wear effect, the same procedure used for the internal panels
or opacification with steel wool and file engraving.





acrylic silver application









temporary assembly.

 

 

[mayhem_modz]

mounting the motherboard on the pc and memories.
it is necessary to fix the motherboard with spacers these vary according to the height of the cover, for forcing I always keep these screws when I get rid of an old case they can always be useful, on being fixed the cover.

For those interested in creating one I invite you to take a look at my video at the tips and tricks section of my youtube channel











since I am also mounting the felt pads under the feet to cushion vibrations ...













it's time to fix the video card INNO3D 2080 SUPER TWIN X2 OC fantastic !!!

 

[mayhem_modz]

DEEPCOOL logo



bulkhead tempered glass etching, a well-established practice





my inseparable friend ...

 

[mayhem_modz]

retouching the front panel, it was too empty I add some elements I took inspiration from the worn fl4k armor.











acrylic silver application









support panels these will give a more badass look











final assembly

 

[mayhem_modz]

The time has come to modify the fantastic INNO3D RTX 2080 SUPER TWIN X2 OC video card
I build a backplate to be applied on the back leaving space for the connectors and logos, I remember that this card will be positioned vertically as provided by this sharkoon case I limit myself to using the same processing done for the panels so I will not post photos of the detailed processing I would not like to repeat myself .







































the power in my hand... hahahah



video!!!

[Wohaaa]

Wayyy too many images for my internet to handle. Would instead have preferred images of the final product including inside and outside, and maybe an Imgur link for the rest.
