Update No.5
Custom paintjob for PSU
Continuation of custom leather panels

Hello and welcome again everybody!

I have a small update as I have had a few questions regarding which PSU I have used in this project. Well I am here to tell!

The PSU is a Corsair RM850w, painted with paint which is used for painting cars with the bran Multona, bought from Mekonomen online for instore. I used superwhite with colourc ode #0009, and finished off with 2 layers clear coat. This paint is durable, and looks great all glossy.

The inside of the case, and all outside panels are repainted with the same coloured paint, as I am a perfectionist.

I would like to apologize for the lack of images of the PSU itself... I had very limited time to get the project finished before DH, so documenting the painting process was a low priority

But I will spam with more images of the case with PSU installed, and a few other custom panels which I made for this beast PC.

Oh, did I mention that a GTX970 Strix from ASUS is going into this bad boy? No?! OK, well I will have some images of this, and some more sponsor announcements over the coming days!

Time for the photodump!

So as usual everyone, please let me know on anything that I can improve on and I will take that on constructive criticism - making an even better build log for you all to enjoy

Kind regards,
Justin "MetallicAcid" Ohlsen

Man ... this is just too much porn!

The PSU looks great in white ... and actually ... I'm asking myself since years why manufacturers don't come up with white hardware. Also your leather panels, they're bloody awesome! Love em!

I am left asking the same thing my friend. Should I NSFW this log?

Update No.6
UPC sponsorship update

Hello guys and girls of modding!

This update is to announce UPC (Ultimate Personal Computer) as a sponsor of custom made and sleeved cable kit for my Corsair RM850 PSU.

These cables were hand made by Adam Birli - who is the owner at UPC - using a combination of MDPC sleeving and his own sleeving named Aegis! These cables will go perfect with this build. I just love the look and feel of them and best of all, I don't need to sleeve!

Thanks UPC for the sponsorship.

Update No.7
Inet and ASUS sponsor announcement

G'day and welcome!

In this latest update, I would like to happily announce Inet and ASUS as sponsors for the Re(de)fine project. It was certainly a surprise to me that Inet and ASUS had collaborated together to sponsor an ASUS Z97 Gryphon Armor Edition mATX motherboard! On top of this, ASUS had sent me a whole bag of awesome ROG "Swag" which I will be giving away to a lucky reader

My thinking is that I would love to give back something to the modding community for all of the support that I have been given. The swag is including the following:
ROG shirt
ROG mousepad
ASUS 8GB USB flashdrive
ASUS bag

This motherboard will work perfectly is this project, which I have plans to paint the Armor with white Plastidip so that it blends well with the inside of the Air 240 chassis.

Here are some images of the goodies:
