Latest updates
Some latest updates, sry been away,but got back on FMJ. Had area in case i wanted to cover up and mount some temp gauges. The area in the front back shown here.
Took a back cover from an old pc case.
Measured and cut.
Done.
Instruments fit !
Mounted cover to case , used thumb screws to hold in place.
Poor ol Zotac has sagging problem. As can be seen in this next pic.
So decided to build bracket to hold ol Zotac's butt up. Built bracket out of more ol pc case parts.
Zotac can now have his butt up in proper place.
Bracket can be removed, held in place with thumb screws. Next paint !

Pieces with first coat of paint. They match the color pretty close but couldn`t match texture of case paint.
Doesnt look like a match in picture but close enough for me.

Waiting on some more fittings for the water cooling and stencil for the window. Hopefully get her or him done soon.

GOT SOME STENCILS
Finally got some stencils
, the main ones actually. I had ordered one from Military Stencils.com but it was to long to fit within the window space of 12 inches. Made some changes and re ordered , but got email from Les at Military Stencils.
Finally decided to call and talk to Les, good move. Was ordering oil board stencils, found out they are in set pattern on spacing . Les fingered it out though ,suggested to use a mask stencil, hes more abler to change lettering and such with that type. "Get her done Pvt" II Gunney.
Heres pic of stencils i got. They stick on and 1 time use
Measured and masked off the window side
Used Krylon spray paint for plastic hope it works.
One lil bobo.
Next the back side. Masked off.
There`s ur dinner.
A few more stencils to go and wire management project then the finish line . Got one stencil for the fan controller panel "FAN CONTROL" 1/4 inch size almost to big but think it will work

Ordered some 1/4 lettering to identify each knob on the fan controller, hope there is enough room under each knob for lettering to fit. The "FAN CONTROL" logo has enough room above the knobs.
The guy at Military Stencils was Rick Larsen, not Les ,dont know where that name came from

Tnx Baylock ur so kind, this mod is nothing great compared to some of the other ones on this site. I have learned a lot about my abilities or should say lack off
and lack of resources that some of these guys have access too. Learned enough to write a "Beginner`s Guide" about some tips on modding. Got my final stencils for the fan controller but the humidity is to high to paint here now. Suppose to clear out this weekendDon't sell your self short Wulf. It looks awesone.
You have to remember alot of the project logs that come through are sponsored professionals. They get some or all of their parts pro-Bono and just need to advertise them. Some day I'd like to get into that racket but it takes a ton of time and dedication which I can offer at the moment.
Still you're doing a fine job. Have you seen my military theme build?

Looks good, cable management hard with that kind of PSU. How did u strip case for painting? I tried to be perfectionist long ago but finally gave that up . Built super tower build some time back,was proud of it until i really looked at it afterwards,piece of crap lol. This build was my OCD taking over, wait until u see the final pictures lol.
