Its a pain until you get into a rhythm and figure out a technique.
The first night I did one of those wires. Last night I did five.
Took about the same amount of time both nights.

Yeah it's fun to mess with, the RE-3s do about the same if I run there.

Slight update, did some painting tonight
Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy with the two systems, and will be here with a HUGE update soon!
For now, this will have to hold you over.

Thanks Silver! I just hit the mesh with some scotch brite front and back to scuff the surface and make the paint stick nice and smooth.
Believe it or not, that's only one coat.

Wow! That looks good for one coat. You sure you didn't sneak another coat on?
Just a nice, even, heavy coat.
It darkened up a bit from the black left underneath, which I had planned on.
I wanted to keep it to fewer coats to avoid closing holes up, since it does have air flowing through it.
Properly priming and painting it would have been 3 layers, maybe 4.

Good point. I really want a new case all of a sudden
You know, this one has really good airflow, which will help with your mining

Man, that sounds like my 4 1/2 years of college
That's how my college life has been so far
I mean come on, how hard can it be setting up a print server in Windows?
It's like a 5 minute job

So, update.
I've spent money, and my wallet hates me.
Over the last couple of days, these have showed up:
-Black Ice GT Stealth 360
-Alphacool ST30 240mm
-Swiftech MCP35X
-3x 780 Classified Hydro Copper waterblocks
-3x 780 Classified Backplates
So, since I got the 780 Classified blocks, I thought it only appropriate to get the 780 Classified that was on sale:
Also, I might have gotten a killer deal on a 2600K and a P8Z77-V LK, so the FX-6300 and UD3 are out. They will be going into the server, and the 2600K in the gaming rig.
And I just installed everything but the WC parts tonight.
To give you an idea of HOW HUGE this new GPU is, this is beside the 770.

That is HORRIBLE, I have an idea on how to make it up to your wallet. I'll PM you my address, you send me everything that has made your wallet grumpy and I will take over the hated by your wallet role! This is a VERY good idea and will surely return YOU to your wallet's good graces.
When shall I expect my preciouses err presents err horribad unbearably horrendous hatred by your wallet to commence?
