Painting has commenced:

[Necrodead]

 

So a few things in the mail today, more painting done. Always with the more painting. Also started doing some wet sanding on the main body before clearcoat. This is starting to be a lot of work!

I have some blue anodized thumbscrews from ebay. Bitspower sells the exact same looking screws but I couldn't find anyone who would ship to canada. These were cheap but they have some scratches in the anodizing. I also have a bunch of blue M4s on the way for the fans and the pump. All white build, blue liquid and screws, chrome fittings? Still can't decide if I want to buy some white or maybe the bitspower royal blue fittings.

 

The boobs I bought this motherboard from can't tell the difference between a 9 and an 8, so Z87 motherboard is what I've got now. Works for me, although the loss of the 2nd ethernet port means I have to buy a switch.

Not done with the mobo yet, just waiting for the dip to fully cure. I probably shouldn't have even moved it yet, but I had to see it. Also carbon fibre vinyl on the heatsink.

 

pump mounted.

 

psu modded.

This looks awsome i like you also are going for a dual radiator setup this case!

Thanks, although I'm scared of drilling the holes for the passthroughs, don't want to damage the paint.

Just a quick update:

[Micdeez]

Wow, this is looking really good mate.

 

Can I ask, and this is not a criticism, the GFX looks a little slightly leaning right. I am sure it will be adjusted, or the angle of the photo?

Thanks dude, I'm a big fan of your white/black build as well.

 

The GPU is very heavy and is sagging a bit, yes. I think it's more than 1.5kg. I plan on putting a length of hardtube between the psu and gpu bracket to prop the one end up a little bit.

Thanks a lot mate.

 

Fair call, I think that tube would work.

 

Keep up the great work, the P5 would definitely be a case I'd like to try if I had the extra funds.
