Default [Complete] Blackout



Ok this is my 1st mod! System spec is my sig rig

I started with a standard Thermaltake Kandalf LCS and decided I really needed to sort its look out and change parts of the cooling system.



The following photo's run from start to finish..




Looks messy.


Stripped it all down thought the front might be tricky but it was no trouble.


After priming all parts to be painted I started applying the Black. Applied 2 primers, coats of black and 2 coats of lacquer.






Time to put it all back together.




Change tubing from clear 3/8" ID to blue 3/8" ID with blue coils and pump/res to a XSPC Dual 750 Bay Reservoir Pump - Clear.

I wasn't to keen on the 2x 4" UV and the stock 120mm fan on back so replaced UV for 2x 12" and the the fan to a Sharkoon.

Still wasn't happy with the look so decided to change the tubing etc.. to 1/2" ID and orange coil.





The End......
