Default Antec 900 Painting/Watercooling Work log

Edit: Changed to Work log:

Modifications:
Antec 900 Paint

Watercooling:
New Tubes/Coolant (UV Blue
Springs (pearl dont know if I am going to use them, shoulda got orange)
Watercool on GPU (Swiftech block with Zerotherm Heatsinks)
Before Temps:115 Degrees Celcius
UV Cold Cathodes

Paint Scheme: Acer G24 Inspired....
Orange with black accents (Maybe a stripe) on outside.
Black with Orange Accents
Blue UV Watercooling

Before:


Black Stock Outside. Nothing Special.
Running 5 120mm Fans +stock Big fan

Monitor presented a nice theme. Orange blue and black


Here is the Color on the front Bezel with Acer G24 in background. Final Coat and Clear Coat need to go on still.


Orange Is done. I will be working on taping everything off to do the inside tomorrow. Also going to be messing around with ideas for the outside. This is still no clear coat





The panels are all done except Some touch up on the orange and clear coat. The Chasis is getting its last coat and the tape is all coming off.

CPU is getting back on Tuesday so I should have it done by then to put everything back in this beast.



Pic of the empty chasis in orange a couple nights ago



Paint Complete. Turned out pretty good but not perfect. Get close enough and you can see some blemishes . Put all the hardware back in a rebuilt everything minus the watercooling.




Cable Management is pretty much done. Looks pretty good considering all holes are stock.


Also Mounted the Waterblock and heat sinks on the GPU.


Got the tubes and everything in. Looks great. I am bleeding the system and checking for leaks right now. CPU should get here later today. Throw it in and boot it up!



Turned out great and kept me busy while my CPU was on RMA. Overall really like the final product and cant wait to see if my 4850 will drop from 115 degrees on the stock cooler.

Like I said. Sorry about the camera phone pics for now. I will get some better pics when my friend returns my camera.

Added some final pics...

The comp is running great @ 3.8GHZ and the watercooling on the GPU has been a its savior as is it was not going to last long at 115 degree temps.

This is the color. Still need to sand and do one more coat and clear. Went with burnt orange and maybe a stripe. Maybe look like a muscle car look or something.

Orange would look good somewhere because it clashes well with blue. Maybe have the inside orange and the outside the same blue as your UV tubes.

@ OP: Are you talking about Competition Orange for the muscle car look?
