Project Choatic Serenity: The Return of Water
This thread has gotten complicated, annoying and messy.
Here is one simple place to see just pics:
ORIGINAL POST(------------------------------------------------
Alright, I've been out of the scene for about a year, my passions exhausted, my focus elsewhere. School, drinking, drugs, car audio, casual gaming...........that's all over now (well maybe not the drugs =_= ) and I am making my disapointingly triumphant return to modding!
:cue strange circus music:
Currently I have a huge, classy 11 bay tower that I paid way too much for last summer. Couldn't find it on newegg anymore, musta stopped making it. At the moment, it's currently lightly modded with a totally custom window and a semi-unique (hey, it's not a biohazard
) appliquè. Also I have mounted dual UV cold cathode tubes at the right side and bottom of the case.
[pictures here tonight - at work]
So I was checkin out fushys insane modding journal early last week [let's here it for fushy, folks!] and I caught modding fever yet again...so over the last week I have been planning and executing various early stages of my revival project.
Planned new layout for watercooling setup that entails radiator to be mounted on the case top facing the bottom, and cut necessary 120mm blowhole with ninja-like dremel skills (lol). Also while I was at it I cut out all the stupid factory grills that restrict airflow horribly. The holes will be sanded down needle-file style (that coincidental rhyme made my vision go black and i *almost* lost consciousness) tonight.

I also purchased a can of Orange UV reactive spray paint at CompUSA because I remembered I saw it there. Orange to offset my glowing green water tubes...should look erie. Painted my two 80mm Stealths (silent *** fans---seriously ****ING SILENCE...WHOA HOLY ****...I'M TRAPPED IN THE PARENTHESIS...I CAN'T RETURN TO THE SENTENCE!!! NOOO!!!! WAIT..WHATS THIS THING DO...*pull*) whew..that was odd....anyways I painted my 80mms with the UV paint on the blades (masking off unwanted paint areas) The blades glowing should look good behind my 2 unoriginal--but at least accenting--black biohazard fan grills.

I also masked off my entire case except for the inside metal and started sanding it to make it take the paint better. Hopefully I'll get to painting it tonight.
Also I've been toying with the idea of painting the inside a nice even flat black then putting the UV on top of that.....any thoughts on that from any of you?
I hope to have this post be a nice pictorial history of what I've done as I feel like it greatly adds to my productivity. It adds a bit of organization. Any thoughts, comments or questions positive or negative are always welcome.
Hope to update tonight!
