white/purple haf 922

Sounds good!

well im going to paint it mainly white and the mesh will be purple. ive never seen the case in person so ill figure out more when it arrives. inside will probally be the same color scheme

obviously ill swap out the LEDs(red wont match) with either white or UV(leaning towards UV going through the purple mesh)

right now i go to school (high school) and work 2 jobs so im pretty busy as it is. i dont expect this to be an insane case mod. probably limited cutting...well hopefully

this is hopfully going to be the basis of a core i7 build. i need a new psu anyways because mine right now is sleeved black/green

heres whats been ordered so far

well first im sorry for the terrible pics but they are off of my phone because my camera is MIA at the moment

heres the unwrapping



now time to strip this thing down
5 minutes in and im already bleeding(it was alot worse than it looks in the pic)

all deriveted and taken apart(in about 30 minutes) woot!





cant wait to get paint and some other *things*

thanks! ive been wanting to do this mod since i first saw the 932 but the 922 had a nice deal so i snatched it up. ive seen 2 or 3 white hafs since and they look nice. hopefully this can be a new i7 build(if the funds allow).

schedule:
paint-picking up tomarrow; prime thursday/friday
sleeving/rivets- should arrive end of the week
i also have to stop by radioshack to pick up some cheap wire for the fans and see if i can find UV LEDs.

this will take a long time. this week i only work 15 hours but next week i work 30 hours(plus high school) it sucks but i make alot of money

i think im going to go for a slightly darker purple tho im not positive yet. i guess i really just have to experiment and if i dont like it, repaint.

well i had some bad experiences with BOTH my plastic primers today. one exploded on me and the other was splattering the paint(yes i warm up the paint and shake the can)


well onto which paints i bought

the stash:

the new stuff:




slow progress =[

Sounds great, Gunna sub this because I'm looking for some ideas for my 922 Good luck.

well i came down with a sinus infection so no school/work for me. even tho i was in alot of pain i was so bored that i HAD to do some modding. i went on with the painting... heres some shots that i just took(found my camera)





i also have the drive bay things done. all the metal except the side panels is primed and ready to be painted(i might sandblast the side panels). ive also sleeved some wires with mdpc-x sleeving which i had left over.

i used this 2x cover stuff on my tempest build and it works great. i actually painted the plastic without primer and it came out fine. i tried scratching it off but it is sticking on there. that metal primer is really nice btw
