Ok fellas, next update!

Well what is a custom modded computer, without matching hardware?

So here is what my gtx275 looked like when purchased new:





Here is the outcome after the factory decals were removed, the top was covered with black vinyl:







This is why in the photos above the gtx275 top is black not red!

More coming soon!

Let me know what you think!

Here is a little sneak of the big reveal later.

May end up being tomorrow depending on when I can get everything else done for the final pictures.



Let me know what you think!!!

Onward and upward.

Picture of the preparation of the side panel for the custom print!



tools needed, squeege, felt squeege for after decal is installed so as to not scratch it after the pre-mask is removed, knife, new blades, and spray bottle.





the print before application:



and the side panel after installation:



then the panel installed on the computer!





Here in the front panel, we see the fan controller and underneath the three switches that control the cold cathodes, and the strobes!



then some inside shots, both graphics cards installed, and the other part of the print matching mounted to the inside of the back panel, to bring the "COSMIC" effect into the case, going along with the matching black hardware, and metallic black paint on the inside of the case!











Notice how the small prints mounted on the graphics cards match the main print too!



Next posts will be tomorrow, some full exterior and interior shots, another little mod to the inside, to highlight the print on the graphics cards, and hopefully some movies highlighting the overall lighting effects!

Enjoy for now! :toast::toast:

To maximize the airflow out of the top fan. I know it looks a little funny crooked, but I was concerned with performance as well as aesthetics!
