METRO EXODUS MOD

[mayhem_modz]

hello guys today I place a mod that was made last year but many have asked me so here it is.
This is a collaboration with DRAKO.IT commissioned me to use this case to use it as an exhibition by mounting the Corsair HYDRO X cooling system so let's open the dance.

the case is a crystal 680X an excellent robust compact case where you can really measure everything











disassembling

painting technical tests
they used aluminum aluminum as a base and then painted it in anthracite gray, then worn the parts with glass paper and then accentuated the rust effect with acrylic colors.

processing of sandpaper parts 200

 

I was asked to leave the interior black so I proceed to mask the parts

the panels are 3 all 4 mm acrylic the middle one is perforated because it will contain the leds ..









I also use an almond plate to replace it with the upper glass.





rust effect with mere base acrylic, then brown, then ocher yellow in this size 100%. 50% 10%









I like the idea that inside it is perforated therefore no neon effect cover but only a grid.

preparation of indicators rogorously in Russian.
I purchased voltmeters just connect them via molex and they mark a value





















burglary on the case, be careful you do not go back the measures taken 10 times !!!





luckily there is a lot of space behind

I also help myself with the airbrush with acrylic black to create dark areas to accentuate the light areas.

the case is almost finished but still lacking a decoration detail on the tempered glass, I use this paste which corrodes the surface layer of the glass giving a pleasant satin effect.
