EddyKuz Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Just a little something in between I received a POSEIDON Z RGB Gaming Keyboard and repainted its case ShadoWx3Sandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddyKuz Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Today I started working on the case. I removed the back panel and mid braces of both cases. The bottom of the top case also got a treatment because I want to run a lot of stuff through. Then I prepared a backpanel of 1.5mm thick aluminium. Thank good I always tidy up first Preparation for the back panel And this is what's left when I am finished with the saw :=) Ferax and ShadoWx3Sandy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddyKuz Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 The Thermaltale Pacific reservoir is mounted onto an 8mm thick plexiglass plate. Drilled M3 holes in all corners and used a tap and die to prepare the reservoir mounts. Ferax and Tte Martin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddyKuz Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Today I could finally continue.The two 480 radiators have been aligned at the bottom of the second Core X9.The next step was to mount the fans and start a test run.I built a support frame out of wood to avoid pressure on the plexiglass during the drilling sessions.I have marked the fan holes on the plexi glass and then cut them out with a drill press and a circle cutter.The holes fit, now I just need to sand the edges and I am done.

EddyKuz Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 The Avexir memory is being repainted as well,Gently removed the two screws to take off the cover. I slightly heat up the memory bar to remove the heatspreader from the memory. Then I removed the residue from the glue and painted the cooler and cover white and gold.After the paint had dried, I reassembled the memory.

EddyKuz Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Both cases are now connected and screwed together. The rear cover is cut into the right length and drill holes are being marked.The aluminium plate is now mounted at the rear with 3mm screws and nuts.I have used the new golden washers from www.gosumodz.com I have changed my mind and the radiators are mounted at the top after all Riing are gilded too The fan blades were easy to remove (just by gently pulling)I cleanded the fan blades and removed some greasy residue. After that, I painted the fan blades. After the paint had dried, the Riing fans are ressambled and tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddyKuz Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 The first custom cable sleeves are done. Many thanks to www.gosumodz.com, they helped me a great deal with the materials and tools I needed. This is a test for a "special" coolant We'll see if this turns out as planned (and no, this is not Mayhems) Ferax and AffenAsmo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
