thank you. Im sure it could still be cleaner with practice, but im happy with it now.

I see you have outgrown your cowboy sheets  :D.  are those made out of cotton or synthetic fibers?  cause they also produce static electricity.  never put your puter over any kind of fabric or walk around bare footed on carpet and work on it.  there's always a chance you might ruin something.

just noticed on my puter my fan controller is upside down  :rofl.  I'll leave it like that until i get the two new fans and another light for inside the case.  I cant let lawndart have a prettier puter than me   :uhoh.

my sheets are cotton  :aok. Every time I went my outer I was sharking my pants hoping I didn't have static electricity. It was either my bed or my hard wood floor. Didn't feel like scratching the paint, and I figured if it fell a mattress with sheets are softer then hickory.

My handsomehunk forgot primer before I sprayed, so im back to square one on the paint. :bhead Doing 2 or 3 coats of blue and then 2 or 3 coats of clear coat.

Congrats on the fan controller malfunction btw :lol

I have no reason to ever draw full power. Ah is extremes as it gets, and with factory settings I can run all the eye candy with minimal frame hits. Curious to see how it would run bc3 though....

No, I meant how many watts is your power supply?

Been a few days here, and after starting over from scratch (almost) im getting down to the final coats. I plan on putting on at least onw more coat of blue, I have 3 on now. I plan on doing 3 or 4 coats of clear coat then putting on some wax to make it smooth and shine real nice.



The panels are snapped and screwed into place, and obviously im missing the fans and grills, but I like the blue. Think the blue with black trim and grills will look real nice. :banana:

I'll give you this, I like your computer because it is something that I would do.  Excessively complicated and absurdly redundant.
