You will notice that my Build has already gone threw 3 different looks 4 if you include the yellow frame it had when I bought it First version was the Green Build, in the middle of the build it got revamped with a new motherboard and watercooling. My second version of the build the Frame went to a flat black and had a white carbon fiber vinyl wrap. And the current version of the build is flat black with a color splash of fluorescent colors.

I have recently decided after my build with the phantom is complete that I will be revisiting this build and revamping it.

So here is Version 1 and how it all started, On day 1 first task was disassemble and color swap.

I will post updates and additional post in the next 3 post.

One final shot of the Lanboy Air. You will notice I have all green Cooler Master Sickle Flow fans installed in this picture, Also primochill green UV hoses which do not match my lanboy air right now. But that's all going to change very soon. Also You can see my XSPC Rasa GPU waterblock. My current pump is struggling keeping up with the new added block

This is my new Swifttech MCP655 D5 w/ Variable RPM settings. I wanted to be able to keep the audible level down. With my current setup my computer is completely silent besides the Rasa Waterpump. So i'm sure this will help me get the noise level down

These next two pictures are a makeshift Reservoir that i just finished. FrozenQ is working on something custom for me so It might be another month. So i went into the kitchen and saw the winnie the pooh honey bottle. I cleaned it out well, Drilled a few holes, Grabbed a few barbs, 4 o-rings, And a nut for each barb and this is what I came up with. I'm actualy kinda excited to see what this thing is gonna look like when I transplant my Computer into it's temporary case tomorrow.

Thanks guys I appreciate the support

About painting the frame. I originaly just scuffed the frame up with some sanding steel wool, got all the clear coat off. And that would of been fine to paint but I went ahead and primed the whole frame white so the yellow would not shine threw the green paint. This second time around 90% of the frame is being wrapped in carbon vinyl. I took it all down to bare metal and the parts that will be painted i'm just going to use Krylon Dual primer/paint all in one to make it ez on myself. Not much the painted surface will be seen this time around.

I got a new XFX modular 750 Powersupply (seasonic with XFX Badge) The green on it does not match my build completely so i'm gonna rip the fan out and paint it white when I resleave the Powersupply

Also got the roll of White Carbon Fiber Vinyl I have been waiting on. (not the cheap stuff) And picked up a VGA waterblock for $23.00 at microcenter
2012-01-20044415.jpg


I also added a 3rd Monitor to my desk. I ended up buying a 5770 to go with my 6750, funny thing that happened though My 6750 went out the day after I ordered the 5770. So i'm gonna wait on a RMA from gigabyte.

Tonight I have spent my night grinding and sanding on the metal frame of my lanboy. I honestly did not need to take it all down to metal but I kinda got a little ocd. i'm 90% done sanding, I got some small corner spots I need to get before I can paint the bottom of the frame and some other spots.

My Powersupply Cage is modded, I've got some more sanding and painting to do

You will notice I sanded the groves right off the top of the cage
IMG_20120129_152614.jpg


Also flipped the sticker on one side of my Powersupply

I will let you draw your own conclusions why I would flip the sticker.

Fresh Paint, all flat black.

I'm really impressed on how well Krylon Dual paint layed down. It's a little chilli today and it's not the best conditions to paint. However it layed smooth and I have a nice finish on everything.

I'm going to proceed with the carbon vinyl wrap on parts of the frame tomorrow. 80% of the frame will be wrapped but some parts will still be visible. This is the reason I stripped the whole case down and painted it.

Ok so I need a better camera. you can't see the white carbon in most of these pictures but you get the idea. I am far from done also. There is alot of components still on order and lots of custom parts i'm currently working on.

I personaly am digging the flat black and white carbon fiber look.

It's hard to tell unless you own a lanboy really. The whole internals are flipped. I drilled some new holes and fitted stuff so now the reverse side of the case is the side that opens up.
The motherboard is going to sit upside down. One of the reasons for reversing everything is so I could return to a bottom mounted power supply. What prevented that was the way I mount my Radiator for my watercool setup. I need the 120mm fan mount in center of my case and not on the very bottom or top. So this also goes into why I flipped the sticker on my powersupply, it just would of looked wierd upside down.

This is late and the case no longer looks like this but this is version 2 of my lanboy. This case looked like this for two weeks and then I decided I was not happy with the way it looked. My motherboard blue, white carbon fiber, green fans, and green hose just looked horrible in regular light.

and then I put some green additive in the loop and it looked horrible.

However it looked good under blacklight.

All stripped back down in two week after finishing. I resanded the frame and resprayed it flat black.
Version 3 is still in the undergoing at this moment.

So I got me an H100 in a trade and decided I need to test it out, So before I would reinstall my waterloop lets play with the H100

IMG_20120222_235442-1.jpg


I had planned on putting this black hose in but I was having difficult times trying to get air of my loop and My D5 pump also was having some issues.
IMG_20120226_140158.jpg?t=1330282942


And i'm just gonna put up some random pictures of the case. Quality is lacking on many of these pictures. I will get some hi-res shots when I finish this project.

Overall I'm very happy with the way things are turning out. I'm going to put in a clear hose with blue fluid and the pink anti-kink, I'm gotta alot of other project as always for this case, some long term and some short term. I will try my best at keeping this updated.

That's awesom ikem!!! I really love the splatter paintjob alot on the lanboy. I gotta finish some stuff on my phantom and then I will be jumping back into this project while my motherboard on this build is out for RMA. The onboard soundcard went out on it.

Just an update this build is getting yet another make over. I'm happy with the splatter paint job but I was happier when this build started. I purchased some new hose for the build and I'm debating on two colors on this build.

I'm being dead serious when I say this too.

I'm considering painting the frame Pink and going with all blue lighting and accents since my motherboard is blue for this build.

The other color I'm considering is going back to green. When I stripped it down the first time I was not happy with the condition of the paint. I did not know how to properly paint and prep something. So it was all kinds of scrached up in no time. While my current paint scheme is fine but it's just not how I Imaged it would be.

I'm still tied up in my Phantom Build but i'm getting close to completion. As soon as the Phantom is up and running, this build will be stripped back down to bare frame and Version 4.0 will be under way.

Also I will be cleaning the index up on this thread very soon and before I start on the new theme of the Lanboy.

LOL, I appreciate that. It's a 1982 Ford Couier. Completely shaved. Phantom Grill, ford Teardrop Tail lights.

I need to clean it off as there is so much dust on it from all the sanding I've been doing to my other computer Case.

Operation Freedom. Check it out in my signature. It's got alot more work then this case. It's also show how much more i've learned to do since this build. The Build will be revamped with a lot more custom work as soon as that build is complete. I'm setting it will take me another few weeks.
