I'll be powder coating the panels and joints black, hopefully matt black. Then all the frame and brackets (angle, HDD mounts, fan grills etc) will be painted or if I can arrange it through a friend, baked resin
in the metallic red. The general idea being it is always black to red or red to black .
Just a quick update today, in the process of finding some bits and pieces so I finished the HDD mounts this afternoon.
Stole some screws from an old Thermaltake case I used to have (first water cooled build... memories...) then added some rubber dampers from a maplins DIY kit (it's screws were crap) then milled the indents into the brackets




Thanks

Hey. I have that same 80 gig wd drive. I use mine as a back-up boot in order to fix my computer.
