first , want to say Thanks to Blake Andes and Corsair for asking me to be part of this special project with these best Modders of the planet, some are my main inspirations and these guy are why I start modding and building a couple years ago , i'm very honored to be part of this

 

now this will put more pressure on me, need to make a really good build :laughing: :eek:

 

some of you already know me and I try to stay with angels and demons themed build and this one is not a exception,

 

I named this one "Clear Sky: City of Angels"

 

the build will be based on the new Corsair Crystal 570x RGB

and for sure, I will paint it all white with silver metallic

I will try to do a special thing on it, first time I will try this and hope the result will be great

first

 

the painting process,

 

disassembled the whole case

 

and use car paint,

base coat is Championship White

mid coat is Metallic clear

and for sure clear coat, but not use full glossy one,

generally I used a lot of clear coat on exterior panels and polish them to have a mirror finish,

this one don't have exterior panels and interior panels are very hard to polish, I simply use semi-glossy clear coat instead

 

 

some pics pf process

Clear Sky: City of Angels is done

 

leave next Wednesday morning for Corsair HQ in a Pelican case

 

some final pics , hope you will like it,

 

its the second time I use acrylic, far from perfect but I like it a lot,

 

a mentor said . "sometime less is better", I like to have only CPU water-cooled, less tubing and very clean,

 

I think next one will be air cooled

.
