My first full build from scratch. Gundam Banshee Norn Gold/Black themed.

Hi All,

This is my first full build on my own I have done some upgrades and partial builds in the past. I am using a Lian Li O11 air mini for the case and decided to go with a Gold and black Gundam Banshee Norn theme.

Painting the case parts gold. I am using a white primer( rustoleum 2x gloss white paint+ primer) and Rustoleum speciality metallic gold. I tried various glossy clear coat for finish but they all make the fold paint wrinkle so I went without a clear coat.

Side panel works. I took some reference images of the Gundam  Banshee Norn and used illustrator for the line work. Print it out on paper and use an xacto knife to cut out the pieces of the painter's tape that I and to be gold. Would have been easier and faster if I had a cricut.

Progress. The wires are a very tight fit at the back but I managed could have spent some money on custom replacement sleeved cables but i already spent too much on fans.

 

I am using 2x 140 bequiet light wings intake in the front with the aio radiator. 2x 120 bequiet light wings on the front side area as exhaust.

Bottom intake I am using the 140 fans that came with the case so no rgb sadly( will upgrade in the future if need be). Top I am using 3x cooler master mf120 halo as exhaust, 2 of which came with the aio. And lastly the back I am using my last 120 bequiet light wings but it is on the outside of the case as the gpu is just ever so slightly too tall( or wide in this case as it is verticle mounted). I ended up doing this way as I do not want dust to be sucked in from that part.
