well after a few months of upgrading, its high time i call it quits, so i am going to finish my system, FINNALY!!!
here is the plan
fix up and repaint case
watercool it
overclock the heck out of it :D

this is what i have so far:
opteron 165
HDD WD2000 and a 80 gig
single 7900 GS

watercooling parts:
Swiftech 120.2
Swiftech storm
mcp655

got to get:
DFI LP UT SLI-D "here"
patriot pc-4000 2x 1GB "here"
OCZ GamersXtreme 700 Watt "here"
two MCW60"S VGA water blocks "here"
and a bay res

i just got another MSI 7900 GS off ebay so that should be here soo as well!

now for the case: their are two holes on the side of the case i put their so i could put the res on the outside of the case, i am going to replace that with a lazer etched window found "here" the outside of the case is going to be painted a candy apple blue and the inside will be painted black!

Holy crap! wE DIDN'T even get any rain over here! That's just nuts!

The paint is looking good! For the pump mount, use heat and a knife, or something flat and thin that you can slide in there. Also, brute force works.
 
That blue looks incredible man, great work! Can't wait to see the finished product :D *subscribed*

Keep up the great work!

P.S. That's intense, Oregon hasn't been acting like Oregon lately in my area, been too hot lately, I want some rain!
 
i'm ordering the motherboard tommarow! w00tage :D
i am going to get some more white primer , seeing as i used up the two cans i had lol, and hopefully some more of the blue!
ooo i cant wait to get this thing running.

this is just the first coat on the blue parts so thats why their kinda multi toned, but i think i might leave it, the multi tone is looking cool :p
 
lol thanks i am going to keep it that way too :D
but i did run it to some problems
michigan weather 2 , me 0
my front door is being a butt, i primed it , not prob, but when i put on the blue, i came back after it was dry and it bubbled, so i sanded it and primed it again then all the paint is cracked, so tommarow i will turn the heater on in my garage and see if it helps, parts for the case come wed!!!
 
It might have been too cold or humid for the paint. I know testors paint is very picky about the conditions you can successfully spray it in.
 
leave it to michigan weather to ruin a good modding project...

Where i live, we experience winter almost 9 months out of the year :(
