Thank you OtrFLOYD, niko439 and We Gone above for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I have been slacking a little on the buffing out of the panels but they will get done. (in a couple days I hope). Then more pictures will come.

Your system is really looking good and I'm sure the paintjob will turn out top-notch. A couple of questions for you - were you planning to do the cable management mod? Second, I'm surprised that you didn't cut out the mesh for the rear exhaust fan to improve airflow and reduce noise. Is there a reason that you didnt make any cuts to the case?

What are your plans for lighting internally?

Thanks for your feedback.

I am planning on the cable management mod, It would not be a acceptable mod and it would cry in shame without it . I going to cut holes in the case using my friends tools I see that would be needed now to be a clean mod. I do not have dremel or cutting tools. I have a whole collection of painting tools and related hardware though . I was not planning on cutting out the back fan mesh but I have seen a couple of skilled dremel members here do it and I will look into that but I dont want to do it if it will damage the paint. We'll see on that one. Im just going to have to tape over the spot to drill on the inside and drill it through the tape to protect the finish.

As far as lighting, the 3 blue led fans, a ccfl and im trying to come up with more creative lighting tricks for it but have not come up with anything else yet. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Maybe a sound reactive cathode or a laser led ?

Edit : Oh yeah, a multifunction panel on the front with a blue lcd that shows the system status and such.




They dont actually enlarge sorry.

Let me know what everybody thinks and I welcome addtional suggestions. Thank you.

Very nice paint job.


Why the 8600GTs?

Gracias.

Because I was poor and did not have any money back then when I bought them 9 months ago they only cost $150 for both brand new. So it was the best deal I could find. I am saving up some loot for a GTX260 maybe two of them in a few months! Until then these will have to make due.

I am still colorsanding the finish it is taking forever it seems. Frankly the Antec 900 is not a easy case to paint IMO. All those little parts of plastic, especially the top part and front piece. Next time, I would rather paint a Cosmos case or something much easier. Anyway it is going to take me a while (one week maybe) to finish the polishing an buffing of all the painted parts between work and home responsibilities. I will update it at that time.

Thanks for viewing and also everyone's feedback it is much appreciated. Make sure the people that are watching my project check back. I will post "updated" when I do in the title.
