Small UP!

As you can see I had to move the cage inside of HDD, for reasons of space, since in the front I will install a radiator 360! I think I do later the holes. because those in case are not useful; so I can place the port HDD to a fair distance between the radiator and the power supply!

Now beginning to mask all the pieces and then paint it!

All for now! Stay tuned! :D

Other UP!

Finally paint! I used a red metallic paint which comes closest to the Red Scarlet, I hope to look good color! Unfortunately from the photos the color is not exactly what it seems!

When I'll finish the work, I will do the photos with reflex and lights!

I really like the color, I do not know you! Let me know! :D

Here is a Big Up as I promised! :D

http://i.imgur.com/RVsldVT.jpg

I unplugged, with the hair dryer, the label from hdd, I took me some time to not throw too much heat on the HDD, then to soften the glue have been there a good 5 minutes!

http://i.imgur.com/228TIxV.jpg

Then I put on the kit box of screwdrivers, the adhesive because I didn't know which on the surface to keep it for not to make him completely lose adhesiveness :)

http://i.imgur.com/7ZiX7VJ.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/Yx94azE.jpg

I masked the HDD to paint it quietly and then cut the upper ribbon with the cutter precision to cover only the part in relief and the inputs of the screws! Getting what you see in the picture above!

http://i.imgur.com/OdD42E4.jpg

Here I gave a primer because it did not take paint well, in fact I had to removing paint and do it again!

http://i.imgur.com/n0MYLwE.jpg

Black paint!

http://i.imgur.com/vmnHQlM.jpg

That's what I obtained! The edges could not come better than this! Then I touched up by hand with a brush and paint spray!

http://i.imgur.com/wspKJFB.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/P7W9ZEY.jpg

Now it masks the contrary! And so red!

http://i.imgur.com/uQEUgQW.png

Here cutter precision I gently removed the tape paper after first warmed a bit with the hair dryer! Always better to warm it up a bit 'otherwise you risk that take away the paint below!

http://i.imgur.com/vobQrQj.jpg

Removed the first piece, no damage to the paint! :D

http://i.imgur.com/fe95kbd.jpg

Removing the second piece, painted screws and glued the adhesive after heating it! I put a pinch of attack where it didn't adhere! Usually it doesn't adhere on the tip that one removes first!

http://i.imgur.com/s30Oa9C.jpg

Here's the finished result! I hope you like it! If you have suggestions for improving the quality of workmanship didn't hesitate to tell me! I'm curious of your opinion! :)

For the moment it's all about! At the next UP! :D

Here is another UP!

As I said the hdd were 2! Here's the second, I hope you like it! :D:

The process was much the same as the first HDD!

http://i.imgur.com/pk1Jaow.jpg

I removed the adhesive, screws etc. to paint! I gave HDD the red and then a masked only time the part that I wanted to keep the red! So I saved masking process that could ruin the paint once detached!

http://i.imgur.com/WJE0RpL.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/tyd3yaf.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/5lSMLsR.jpg

There it cames back from the cellar with a new look! :D

http://i.imgur.com/985sNqd.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/tqC2qsb.jpg

And finally here it is more beautiful than before, one hopes

Let me know if you like and which of the two HDD favorite! Personally I prefer the latter ;)

New UP!

http://i.imgur.com/m8fgflL.jpg

It 's time to see how it came the painting!

http://i.imgur.com/Ns1lOhJ.jpg

I really like it :D

http://i.imgur.com/R8p410B.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/yelufd4.jpg

Here I had to remove the dust filter and put it behind the red grid, otherwise you could not see much of a red! Then with the simple Vinavil glue I glued it all!

http://i.imgur.com/mwzitIb.jpg

Here's the finished result! I know it's different from the render I did, in which I had removed the black grid above, but I have to say that so I like more :)

All for today people! At the next UP! :D

Other up!

http://i.imgur.com/o7rj8HO.jpg

Here the Case back from the cellar :D: Now we check the result !! :sunglasse

http://i.imgur.com/u3ozJsG.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/QeIIsCh.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/GNdwNuD.jpg

Here it is! What do you think? I honestly like it, but I'm biased! :D:

New UP!

I would say to start!

We see the bars as they came! :)

http://i.imgur.com/c6RydqE.jpg

I must say I really like it! Color is what I wanted :)

http://i.imgur.com/Qikzu9L.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/3bJU752.jpg

Here I decided to paint the screws to give contrast to the black rubber pads! ;)

Now to the castle of HDD! :D

http://i.imgur.com/4YV2yZJ.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/3re5V7G.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/XurZDqo.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/uxZUag3.jpg

Here I put the carbon film, not on top of everything, but doing "motif" decorating only a few parts! Hope you like it!

Soon with New UP!

I like the carbon film.

 

Can you show it in it's raw form and where you got it from?

To buy only just googling "moddiy carbon film" :)

The basic form is a large sheet of paper to be cut according to the area concerned. Then applied, heated and spread it with a trowel!

If you need more, write me here. :D

New UP!

Let's take a new look inside the case! Or at least let's try :D

http://i.imgur.com/lYCMq1t.jpg

This is the before :sigh!:

http://i.imgur.com/87v7kz2.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/EXBsa32.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/EXBsa32.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/W6DdxJN.jpg

This is after! ;)

I must say that I struggled quite a bit to work without removing the rivets of the case! What a great labor, I tried to be as accurate as possible! What do you say? :cool:

New up!

To enter the new mask for the three fans I had to cut away this part:

http://i.imgur.com/qTv3DPP.jpg

To cut it I removed the blade from the hacksaw and holding it in his hand, I cut.

This is because with the detached blade could easily reach the edge, but I will not recommend it highly. ;)

http://i.imgur.com/PHyPEoO.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/zR3wj1I.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/yreRvMP.jpg

This is the result! I know it's not much, but don't worry I'm working on the mod, or better a couple of things that I need for the mod!

For example the restructuring of the cellar, creating a painting booth home made, at least I have a place where I can work in peace!

Currently I have gone on to the pieces of CAD! As soon as I finish the ideas, I'll post something!

In the next days new up! :D

Here I am with a new up!

Today I painted the cover of the PSU!

http://i.imgur.com/evaVgrE.jpg

First a base coat, after cleaning the piece and sanded

Then down to paint! ;):

http://i.imgur.com/9lV8w2J.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/RsHGZLy.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/2N3DmsT.jpg

Now the part is ready to be mounted! :cool:

http://i.imgur.com/eNnEInD.jpg

Very satisfied with the painting ;): You like? How is now the case?

Now I go a week in Barcelona, when I get back important news! :D:

At the next UP!

Soon New UP! ;): Stay Tuned!

NEW UP!

To make room for the radiator front that will insert with 6 fans in push / pull and not to stand too close to the PSU, I had to drill at a distance about halfway between the last and second last hole factory in this case!

Here are pictures :D

http://i.imgur.com/lhJpOFr.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/MMOAtci.jpg

Holes made with a bit of trouble because I was quite uncomfortable for drilling :(

http://i.imgur.com/vtXc9LW.jpg

Well the carbon films make good :D

http://i.imgur.com/U8EaagF.jpg

Photos because of the light and of my poor ability with the camera have given birth these colors :sigh!:

Live makes much better! :p:

http://i.imgur.com/atYr3gr.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/TVpxH8o.jpg

This is the grid! I must say that I like very much because of the contrasting black and red! I thought worse! Then viewed from above can see very well the color red, as we tilts toward the edges less and less :): Same principle of TN panels ahahahah :D:

http://i.imgur.com/Y7Vh6Cj.jpg

Here's the last picture! Believe me that the colors are much more beautiful

Guys I hope that with this last one up wholly follow you Obviously guys aspect advice and your opinions! Even tips on how to improve the build and advice on how to make better pictures!

NEW UP

As I said I was in work in progress for the work in the cellar .. We almost finished restoring ;):

I had some material in surplus, and so I decided to create a spray booth :D:

I created using scrap pieces of wood, metal and plasterboard! :):

http://i.imgur.com/JrwaG20.jpg

The orange parts are the simple tape to protect the wires! ;):

Internally we have used glass wool to be glued to the plasterboard, to ensure that the dusts of the paint adhering to the surface and do not flutter on the piece.

The wall behind was made with plasterboard to cover the wall and keep it safe.

http://i.imgur.com/Pc57MMd.jpg

If you see before we tried with the spray glue, but it was drunk from plasterboard, then we switched to the option B

http://i.imgur.com/93g1Akl.jpg

Good old silicone :D

To adhere the glass wool at the side of iron, we have drilled the metal pieces to pass the wires and hold the glass wool anchored on three points

http://i.imgur.com/9bPEuMW.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/QEBSIPh.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/ZZBbiU2.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/KQZNhy6.jpg

With some mishap and various fix with what I had in the cellar :laughing:

http://i.imgur.com/whGHvKK.jpg

We have stretch a braided metal cable to carry the weight of the hanging pieces and so we set like this:

http://i.imgur.com/qvAnWGN.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/yTswaeu.jpg

Internally set like this:

http://i.imgur.com/***fI4Y.jpg

And here's the final result:

http://i.imgur.com/3dbQNYJ.jpg

Aesthetically it's not much, but at a functional level is the best that I could create with what I had .. Cost = 0

I just have to buy two or three aluminum trays to be put on the table and fill them with water, to gather dust that falls while I paint and then periodically change the water and / or trays!

Keep in mind the negligible cost of the trays € 0.30 each one ..

I thought of a vacuum cleaner, but it cost me more and then I live in an apartment building .. I can not take a cab industry in the cellar, otherwise other people cause me problems ..

I Aspect your comments and opinions !!

That's all for now!
