Nice update, I admire who is able to play so easly with metal stuff..I'm sure I could cut all myself and lost some fingers

Well... I almost cut an eye out when trying to bend a plate, hehe. But I just got a scratch
I tried to clamp the plate to the table, the I started bending with my hands, and the force pulled the plate from the clamp and flew away! Guess all that dead lifting in the gym gave me something

Skapamer.se sponsor this project with Primer, Paint and protective coating (and gloves, tried without in my last project, did not end well )







I will re-paint the whole inside of the case. It was semi matte, i want i matte matte . I'll also have to paint all the aluminium plates that will go inside the case.
I also got some hardware incomming! Look forward to some hardwarepr0n soon!

How do you like the new style of the photos? Think i'll stick to this with future product updates!

Nice one! I'm really curious to see that paint job done

Three weeks since last update, i am really sorry for that!
Theese past three weeks i've been thinking: Anodize or a regular paint job, brush all the aluminum or not? You could say i've been thinking theese past 3 weeks
I am happy to say that right now i am in a flow - things are starting to get into place and it feels great!
 
I have a question to you. Do you like to watch livestreams of computer moding/building? Please let me know!
Enough talking, more photos!
 

"Fångad av en stormvind" Caputed by a lovestorm (https://youtu.be/_S3YFhlEakg?t=1m49s) - No more resistance for the fans! Well. except for the dust filter ofc. And the video.. It's complicated, Something about wind - and fans and well.. Guess you understand if you are from sweden
 

 

Not verry round.. I'd rather go to small then to big thoug. The roundness is made by the help of a rasp.

The "floor" will be covered by this plate and painted matte black. As you can see i have to go at it with the rasp again. I need to get a Dremel...
 

All the panels that are to be painted matte black have been brushed. Just a light brushing to get some texutre. This one will go into the right chamber, cover the motherboard midplate and some cables. 
 

The aluminium plates and the frame, all brushed and cleaned. Ready for painting! This was a long evening in the workshop.
 

 
Until next time!

I think a live stream would be too much imo. A nice video with some highlights in the end would do it for me. But if a live stream would help with that ... then why not giving other folks the chance to follow it.

And ... once again! Great work!

Thank you!
And yes, might be enough with some "action shots" with the phone and post on various social media...

I'm on vacation, but that do not keep me from updating the log
I've been sanding and applied a layer primer on all the parts that is to be black. I've also "brushed" the one part that wont be getting any color.
The frame of the case had, like most cases, a semi blank surface. I want it to be matte black, and i've seen the end results.. And it's great, really, rellay great!
But you will have to wait for that, in this update its's some priming only


I have tried several different grit sandpaper and sand"sponge" but a simple sponge, that you do the dishes with gave the best result.


Observe that this part will have some layers of matte coating, i think it will gave a great finish!



All ready to go, sanded, and cleaned with alcohol - ready for first run of primer!


Love this brand of spray paint! A cap with a wider "spray" and you get a great result, to get a better result an air brush or similar is what you need.





The next time you see this case and parts it will be with a finished paint job. But before that you will get a first look at some amazing hardware!

What have you been up to this week, vacation? Give me your thoughts
See you in about a week!

That's a very cool trick with the sponge! I used to do this too with sanding paper and usually you end up sanding a surface for about an hour until you have an even structure in place.

Very nice paint job! I'm definitely curious to see more pics on this!

Thank you! The end result is great! And the next you see this case it will have a complete paint job and all the panels will be mounted in place!

Thanks for taking your time and writing a reply!
