    thanks its mdpc sleeving which is the pure best available only problem is i didnt order enough and its a pain in the but to order it in the first place since he is only open at random times in germany. Hoping i can order more and have it arrive before every thing else is done.

    Looking good there!

    Outstanding job there! cant wait to see the end result. Question? Did you custom paint the case yourself and if so what type of paint and process did you use , spray, brush or machine?

    Very nice work so far! I look forward to more pictures and ultimately the finished artwork!!

    Because really - anyone who does not see the artwork in a custom-built, sleeved, computer rig and all the parts, is just a looooooooooossser. :P

    This looks so advanced to someone like me who has never worked with metal. The cuts are so clean, the panels are so nicely put together.....Flcrew, you're keeping this log updated on OCN right? You better be!

    Exactly what is this? Im not bashing you or anything, but is that a computer where you build the case yourself?
    It certainly looks interesting, whatever it is

    Pretty much, yes. I'm assuming he'll be doing everything including the screw holes, fan mounts, hdd docks, front panel wiring, etc. With a custom case he can tailor-make it to his exact needs

    You should can find heaps of work logs like this on OCN:

    Everything from simple stuff like sleeving to ridiculous stuff like custom cases built into desks.

    *edit*

    Updated with pictures of finished paint and partial assembly. got most of the fans installed and checked power supply for fitting with horizontal mobo

    sadly my friend that did the paint missed 4 small pieces that hold the fan controller/light switches and other drive bay parts together so i have to wait a few day for him to paint those

    also im 1 fan short due to a fan being bad and needing rma so a few days for that as well.

    more updates as i get time to work on it more its starting to come together though
