Thanks for all the words guys, I did a lot of work today, but didn't take very many pictures. I have a wonderful Nikon D40 camera with a D90 kit lens, the 18-105mm VR and sadly my camera has some dust inside the sensor, so I've been staying away from pics, as I need a low f stop in order for the spots to NOT be visible, messing me all up.

I have a few to post right now. so here they come in a minute.

Thanks!

So, Like the above post, I got a lot done, but not many pics. I went ahead and got up this morning and did another coat of Satin Black at about 10 in the morning. around 1:30 I did some Wet Sanding with some 1000 grit paper, just lightly, nothing to severe. and then I let it dry, helped it with my Compressor of air.. haha. And then I did another coat, and so on.

So today I did 3 more coats, for a total of 5 coats to my CM HAF inside. It looks really good, and I think the sanding really helped smooth it out, so I don't have too much of that orange peel look to it. but I didn't do it to the last 2 coats. I was going to add a clear coat protectant, but the guy at my local Home Depot said I didn't need to, but what does he know. MY paint had a protectant added to the can, so I should be good with just that. plus I'll use grease where you take the panel off to help with scratching.

Anyways, enough talking, Here are the pics.

My new RAD.. I'm exited.

Here are some pics of my Fans, like said above. I got the Yate Loon Medium speed fans, and I went ahead and sleeved all them today. I love the sleeve job, Looks so clean.

Close up on the sleeving.

And thats about it for now, I took a few more pics than that, but I'll have to do some editing in Lightroom tomorrow and remove some of the marks from the dust in the Sensor, to bad amazon's shipping is slow, or I'd have my sensor cleaner already.

More pics to come tomorrow as I put the case back together.

Thanks for watching.

Man, those pics are super clean! I hope I can take pictures nearly half that quality. I'm just using my trusty Canon SD750 (point & shoot). I was satisfied with the quality until I started to see what others were doing. Now I'm getting an itch I don't need to be having....

That rad looks so clean and sexy, I'm sure it will fit quite nicely with your build. I'm subscribed to see where you go with this thing.

I love that about PPCs, and that's why I try to order most of my fans for them. You can't go wrong with fans that are already sleeved for you!

I can't wait to see what comes next!

xguntherc · 02-14-09

Oh no, I sleeved the fans myself last night. Bought the stuff at local fry's and the shrink tube and went to work. lol. I didn't buy them that way, but I will from now on. as I love the way they look.

Also thanks for the words. The pics are pretty good. I need to edit them and add some White Balance. they have that yellow tint from my weird room lights. lol. not to mention I have a Nikon D40 with a nice lens on it, That helps. and yes it's an itch for sure. but it's SOOO worth it over my 10MP ghetto Kodak, the D40 is 6.1 MP but blows it away. lol.

and yea, the picture of the RAD where I'm aiming down the side of it, I really like that picture. turned out nicely.

More pics of the paint job will come tonight.

Stay Tuned!
