Ok got started on painting, here are some pics so far.

Going for a military look, thinking about taking out the blue lights and throwing in some red ones.

Nice dude!

post some progess pics as you go!

nice keep goin! oh i saw something on "Overhaulin". Chip Foose used something to do a "Brushed" look on the paint to make it look like metal before the clear coat. maybe thats an idea for your military "rugged" look

agentbobo · 04-25-08

Yeah Foose should start overhaulin PCs. I just saw on the last page of the latest Maximum PC that some guy modded a PC with the same look of a lime green Dodge Super Bee, for better or for worse.

Here is a progress report. Should be done by tomorrow some time, will post final pics.

Also, this is kinda funny, I have had this case for about 3 months and now that I'm modding it i realized that the silver "Cooler Master" logo on the front has a transparent protective film on it that can be peeled away

iandroo888 · 04-26-08

LOL ur not the only one.. i didnt notice the film (even after popping it off and putting it back on before and after modding.. like maybe 2 or so months after, i saw something.. played with it and pulled.. i like O_O LOL didnt know that was there >_>

Alright, I'm officially in now. I've wrestled with this case for a while now, but I've finally got everything in. I like the case ok, but I broke the stupid cheap power button and it really bothers me. This seems to be not uncommon with this case.

So I have six Antec TriCool 120mm fans running on a Zalman fan controller. However, I couldn't fit a fan on the floor of the case. The PSU is just blocking the fan. I don't know if it's my huge PSU's fault or the case. Everything seems to be running cool though internally.

No mods, fairly Plain Jane on the front:

But not when you look inside!!:

I had no idea the 9800GTXs were going to be so damned huge, it was a tight fit. Accessing the CMOS jumper or nearly any part of the PCB is now difficult or impossible.

Wow that looks reaaaaal nice. And yeh i think its your PSU thats just big...

@ gonetomorrow - a little more work on the cabling and thats gonna be a sweet lookin system! (not like it doesnt already look like a sweet system). my psu fits pretty well. i still got like 1" to 1 1/2" between psu and fan. maybe just me tho. added you in club. welcome =P

@ marsey99 - lol dood i TOOK the badge off and i still didnt know.. i took it off and put it back on.. panel came off tons of times.. i didnt see it until somehow a corner was comin off and i saw it in the light from my window.. i was like.. huh.. *touches* *comes off* O_O.. hmm.. either they put it on really good or we just all blind
