Posted June 7, 2013 Update: The build is complete. Update #1 Update #2 Update #3 Update #4 Final Update The full album can be found here: http://imageshack.us/g/1/10200125/ So a friend of mine has upgraded his case and brought me his old case, a Thermaltake Matrix VD2000.Cable management will be the hard part in this one. I'm sure something can be done though.I will be making this case Red White and Blue. Just started taking the case apart and cleaning it. Wasn't able to get a pic of it dusty, but it was prett bad.I'll try to bring updates as frequently as possible. Paints will be bought tomorrow. This won't feature high end components as I don't have that kind of budget, but I'll try to make it look as kick-ass as possible.

Decided here would probably be best.There isn't much done right now, but there will be more ;)Thank you for stopping by and hope you stick around.

Posted June 8, 2013 Author Can't promise it won't be an eyesore. Guess that will depend on the person :p Got some stuff done yesterday. Taking the case apart. Most of it taken apart. And finished painting the front grills. More to come soon.

Posted June 9, 2013 Author Mate do you even lift :3 As of last week, yes :p haha gold man, gold. But coming along nicely man. Do you do much prep work before you painted those slots and grills? cos it looks really smooth and also no blotchy paint in the perforation too...well done :) Thank you, I do basic prep work like sanding/wet-sanding and priming.

Posted June 10, 2013 Author Progressing slowly on this one. Front panel is finished. (Mostly) Took off the bottom piece that had the Thermaltake logo and cut out a new one. Also decided to leave the power and reset button alone. Motherboard tray and back panel. Working on side panels right now. Will have more updates later today or tomorrow.

Posted June 12, 2013 Author Time to start putting this together. Found some white rivets at Home Depot, was so happy. Several rivets later, the case was put together. And finally, most of the case assembled. Still working on side panels. Did get a few scratches around the edges where rivet gun was bumping against the metal.Nothing to bad though. Until next time. (If all goes well, tomorrow :D ) Build Logs Little Red Build Log (HAF XB) Project Tomb Raider (HAF 912 Mod) Pollia Condensata Build Log (Showcase PC) American Patriot (Red White and Blue Build) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 15, 2013 Author It will be Captain America's shield. All other guesses were very patriotic though. I'm afraid it won't look as good as I hoped it would. I was going to let my brother do it, (artist/designer) but he won't be able to. Hope I don't mess this up as I would mess up circles -_- No updates today but will try to have some tomorrow.

Posted June 17, 2013 Author So didn't have any updates "tomorrow" which would have been Saturday, but I do today. Final update should be today's. So Captains America's shield came out okay. A few overspray spots around the edges but nothings as awful as my first try. (Had to sand it down and redo it because my first go was just bad) This was the first design I've done on a PC and hopefully I'll get better.Specs:CPU: AMD Phenom 1090T Six CoreMB: ASUS M5A99X EVORAM: 2x4GB Mushkin RedLine DDR3 1600MhzGPU: EVGA GT 240Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212HDD: 500gb Western Digital Caviar BlackOS: Windows 7 64-BitNow let's get into some pics.Sleeved 24-pin.Some nice Mushkin Redline Memory.Start with a glimpse.And the windowed side.Full album can be found here:http://imageshack.us/g/1/10200125/ Thank you all for checking this out.

Posted July 8, 2013 Author dat GTX240. why? that 1090T needs a friend. something like a 4870x2. That is a GT240. It was the only card I had available at the time :( If anything, I'll downgrade the CPU since the PC is currently in the living room, where a 1090T isn't needed.
