I love the Armor, was going to buy it, then I found that Thermaltake was coming out with the LCS model. I called thermaltake to find the release date....then searched everyday and found a retailer who finally got it. I would venture to bet I am one of the first to get this case.



Thanks....trust me I will keep'em coming. I love pics!

Update: PSOne LCD
well, I heard back from the guy... .....He claims its the shippers fault. and that I was offered shipping insurance but refused. first of all, it is clearly the sellers fault. because the items were not packaged properly, the item got scratched INSIDE the package. the lcd was not broke in anyway, so this i a no brainer, its the sellers fault. The auction specs clearly stated that shipping insurance was "not offered". I paid within seconds of the auction ending, I was never offered shipping insurance. and, the seller stated the item was shipped out on aug 2nd. I checked the packaging and is dated Aug 3rd. so he lied to me. Basically this guy doesnt want to refund the money. He hasnt said no yet, but eitherway, he is getting a very negative feedback. I have sold things before, only one time did the item I sold arrive DOA...I refunded the money and I was out of $60, no questions asked. you win some and you lose some.....anyway, lets see what happens today.

Update: painting!!! YAY
The 2 coats of primer finished drying, looked pretty good. Now on to painting. The paint is very cool with the metallic finish...however....it goes on very thin. It took me 2 cans to do the first coat, and ran out of paint before I could get to the doors. So today I am going to go and get 3 more cans of the black metallic. cant say yet if I recommend this specific color, as I havent seen the finished result yat. So far I am happy with the primer, the paint seemed to stick just fine. I was originally planning 3 coats of paint....well, without breaking the bank because this stuff goes on pretty thin, I am thinking I will have to cut it back to 2 coats. for two coats of primier it took two cans. the pics are pretty hard to get a good idea of the color. The paint was pretty shiny because it was wet, had the gray primer coat behind it and went on thin, so it looks a little gray, but its pretty dark, I imagine it will get darker as it dries and with a second coat. Now on to the pics!!!!

See here it looks like gunmetal gray, but its actually almost black, I show detail later.









Close-up, looking pretty good. this is an ok, of the actual color.....oooooh shiny!!

Here you can see how dark it is by the contrast with the primer






Tower finished.






Oooooooh Specally!




Hangin out to dry









I like the paint, howevere like I said, it goes on pretty thin, So I have to get 3 more cans for a total of 5 black to get 2 coats. this little project just went from $30 to $50!

The paint for the most part performed very well. it went on even all over except a few spots that were a littl runny, due to user error!:withstupi

Update:
The motherbaord came today......too bad no one was home to sign for it. So now I have to wait till after work to go get it from the PO. I want to walk out right now and go home and work on my rig...the anticipation is killing me!

Still waiting on my frozen order to get shipped, starting to make me mad. It is being delayed in shipping because they are out of the Swiftech pump. it was "Supposed" to be in almost 2 weeks ago!

I ordered some fun stuff from thinkgeek and got it yesterday. I got the dual Logysis CC UV lights and a laser trip wire spy toy thingy!! thought I would beef up my home security. Dont want anyone takin my rig!!!

Well.....thats it for now!
