Thank you for the kind word guys!

Brad airbrushed Spock onto top grill of the Phanteks Luxe yesterday...and cursed at me the whole time about "50% of my canvas is missing"...

Great work on the airbrusing, Spock looks great! The cosmic scene above him really ties this theme to the proper setting. I have loved seeing this build come together. :clap:
 
I had a little bit of a school girl laugh as a saw that post. Those are both completely ridiculous and absolutely amazing.
 
Very nice. But I'm wondering how well the second grill would work. Seems to be pretty solid where you would normally expect the air to flow. Looks pretty frickin' sweet though. LOL


EDIT:
I would love for you guys to make these. Bobba Fett for President!

Top panel and bezel, finished for the Phanteks Luxe. Nest step is wet sanding the clearcoat on the side panels this Thursday.

Did anyone else see The Martian this weekend? I'm calling it Ridley's Redemption for Prometheus :D

Steps in painting Koolance Rp-452x2 Reservoir faceplate

1. Medium grit sand paper to promote adhesion on face. (Not necessary to remove anodized surface)
2. Clear off surfaces with Tack Cloth, and Tape Off inside portion of plate
3. Apply SEM Self Etching White primer, allow cure for 30 minutes
4. Apply 5 coats in 5 min intervals of Rustoleum brand Gloss White Enamel paint from Home Depot
5. Allow Rustoelum Enamel paint to air dry cure for 24 hours before handling
6. (Optional) Apply Gloss Clear coat finish to paint (next step this weekend)

I use 3M 233+ auto body tape. Great adhesion, no glue residue

I used a small touch-up brush on portions that didn't get fully covered with the tape.

Tomorrow I'll clear coat it.
 
Thank you don! RGB lighting installed in top panel. Very EASY and effective mod for accenting the "16 BIT Spock" airbrushed mural by Brad
