Hey Druid, I haven't been around here at Overclock.net for a long time, but I'm currently doing a case mod and I've looked at a lot of people's work before starting my own, including yours. You're a very good modder man, and I wish you the best of luck with this venture into pro-modding and hope it is a success for you.

I can't wait to see how this turns out (or how much it costs ).

A Flat Black would look sweet on the inside.

Neutral black is IMO, either a nice dark middle of the road or a sweet glossy finish so it looks trendy, stylish, and sexy red

I think I might hold off on finishing my 900 as to get inspiration from the guru of mod.

Wink You asked for it....a rough guess as to the price...

Any and all takers are welcome.

But prepare for a little sticker shock. I am only using the best stuff I can find so the parts add a great deal to the case.

No pricing yet but you can get an idea from the list of parts going into the case.

The pricing does not reflect shipping costs

Case from NewEgg: $110
Res and tubing: $50
Coolant: $40
PA160 Rad: $100
Storm: $75
MCP655 Pump: $65
Fans, controllers and Lights: $55
Acrylic and Cableneeds: $50

The price of the parts: $555

Then I will have to recover all the various shipping charges from all the vendors and I can tell you that some of them are way high--so add another $50 at least

Then I still need to paint the case--not just a squirt out of a spray can either--but a real automotive finish. Setting up for paint is going to run me close to a thousand dollars...obviously that cannot be factored into one job. But the costs of the actual paint and the time it takes to do it will have to add a fair amount to it I am guessing. That part I can't guesstimate well since I need to see just how long I spend painting and how much material it uses.

I really appreciate all the interest in this mod--all I can say is that I will give it 100% and when I'm done I will offer it for sale at a very fair price. Do not expect me to give this case away...I will need to recoup all of my materials money...the labor I might give a slight break on this time...

Without a doubt this case will be well over $600. And that is in parts alone.
