In case you didn't get the reference of the project name you should go watch Kill la Kill (2013)

Hello everybody

Welcome to my first build log

This is a little bit of backstory of my PC:

I have now two years with this exact configuration, this is not by any mean a high end PC, I begin to save some money back in 2013, and the build was complete by august 2014, i had to import most of the parts From U.S.A (I´m from Mexico) and this machine has been my main PC since then.

From a couple of months I was thinking of getting a Power Mac G5 case and mod it to mATX, but i have passed so many moments with my old N200 that now I have some kind of emotional connection with the case, so I decided to breathe new life to the case for its 2nd birthday, and that´s basically how this project born.

Part list:

CPU: Intel Core I3 3220
Cooler: Zalman (?)
Mobo: Asus P8B75M/CSM
RAM: 2x4 GB 1600Mhz Patriot Viper Ram
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB
SSD: Adata SP600
HDD: Seagate 500GB
PSU: Corsair CX450M
Case: Cooler Master N200

So, after the information of the build, here its a look at a standard N200

I originally pick this case for its simplistic design and the fact that its small but it has great ventilation, and room for big components, but after two years of looking to the same case design day after day I thought it was time for a new look.

On Monday 29 of march 2016 I was walking on my way home and i passed in front of a paint store (it mostly sells automotive paint) and i saw a can of red acrylic enamel for a very reasonable price so i decided to buy it and use it for painting the expansion slot covers and some parts of the front panel (the ones made of metal) the day before i was watching one of my favorite animes; Kill La Kill (I´m currently on episode 14), and I decided that i want to theme my case like "Senketsu" the clothing that Ryūko Matoi (Main protagonist) wears trough the entire anime.

There is a picture of Senketsu itself:

Saturday 5 of March of 2016: So the weekend came and i decided to begin my work on my case, i must say that this is the first time I do something like this, i couldn't take photos during the painting session because i didn't want to expose my phone to the paint so I just gonna add the end result photo (*_ _)人

It turned out better than what I was expecting, considering that I had never painted a PC component in my life
