Cool

 

Did you just use spray paint?

Is that a h100 in the top? I've got an R4 and always wondered whether i could fit a radiator in it  

 

It should be black and gold, also you should make it such that this song plays when you open the front.

yes its an H100i on the top.... it's really tight to fit the sabertooth z77 motherboard and the H100i

Cool

Thanks.... and yes I just used spray paint.... I'm also planning on doing a metal plate to cover up those wires in the back....

You can fit pretty much any 240mm out there since the mounting in the top is off set so the VRM heatsinks wont interfere. My H220 fits beautifully.

any tips on spray painting?  yours turned out really nice.  I already spray painted my parts just wondering for future reference.  but I found it took several layers for the paint to stick.  I tried sanding first of course but I don't know if I sanded too much?  Or not enough?  lol

You can fit a 240mm rad in an R4 on the top or in the front.  I'm surprised that you didn't know that about your r4! lol

 

Edit - Checked out your profile and I'm confused you have a rad in your r4 with your h220.. so why are you wondering if you can fit a rad the r4 case?

[adriel604]

nice color scheme! I'm left thinking you can do a better job cleaning up though

I used the following product:

 

I just sprayed the parts until i got a equal cover then let it dry 24 hours, then if needed another coat.....

(first time modding my case I think I did a alright job )

I though someone outdid me with copper tubing lol

 

Nice job with the painting, it makes me want to paint mine blue.

Thanks...... I always wanted to paint the white to something different and then one day I did it...... Once my corsair H100i completely dies on me I'm thinking of going with a custom loop

This looks so cool, you did a really great job! Makes me want to paint parts of my case as well!
