Day 7.5-Painting 95% done.
Hello again all, im back after a 2 day break of no picture updates. Sorry for the long spell of boring but i didnt want to just show off my lack of skills at painting things black, would have been far to boring to post. Anyway on to the pictures.
As mentioned earlier this wire has become damaged.
should be able to fix this led
but the plug snapped off the reset i dont forsee myself fixing this(i even painted the end how sad)
I recieved a call from a antec customer service guy today but missed it, ill call him back tomorow and see if i can get a new one. Worst case scenario(no pun intended) ill just cut the cords at the back of the reset, fix the led, and put it in without a working reset button.
Spent like 2 hours cleaning everything up so i can walk around without stepping through a peice of glass(yea that happened, at least i finished lapping the true first)
these wires will all be lengened/sleeved once the case is together.
these two side panels are all thats yet to be painted now
And as of this posting i have finished everything else, it was a long tedius process and i spent over $150 in paint. Oh well at least i had a lot of these to get me through it unscathed.
And now the pic of EVERYTHING painted!!!
and the stuff thats drying from clearcoats today
finaly getting better at putting out a smooth even coat
and the other peice
compared to my first panels these are coming out great, i hope my improvements in skill are reflected in the side panels to come
the backside of the top panel
this has been drying about a hour longer
and finaly the pci plate
this thing gave me lots of issues, had to sand it down and repaint it more than once....
finished front plate
bottom and back
mobo tray
mesh peices and small panels
mesh panels look much much better now
oh and this thing is going to need a few coats over problem spots once the new kits of mirage get here
this area is all messed up, dosnt take to pictures badly though
Alright thats all for tonight, Tomorow i will get this bad boy riveted back together with black steel rivets, paint a crapload of screws, and get some mock up shots of it all put together. Thursday-Tuesday i will be on vacation and when i get back i will finish any extra tasks and all the wiring.
Thanks for watching! ^_^
