theyre airbrushed mate, all the paintwork you see in this project log is airbrushed.

Dont know about the design on the left?

these look amazing

not sure about painting HDs and such (as mine get ridiculously hot)

pastymuncher · 13 Jun 2006 at 10:07

That looks absolutely awesome!! I can't wait to see it all finished.

How do you have the patience and skill to do all of that airbrushing? Are you a pro or something?

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Not the best of photos, but they will look a lot better when theyve been clearcoated and polished, as thayve just been put under their final layer of colour !

btw, that oval thing is part of my phone, just ignore it

Brilliant mate. Wish i could do something like that. Planning on doing my first pc mod in the next week. Won't be anywhere as good as that. I have seen some mods and the lengths people go to are amazing. Best mod i seen so far probably the Orac³.

If your interested.

Thanks,
ive seen that Orac 3 before, but no in that much detail. its one hell of a machine !. thing abotu mine is its all very cheap for me to do lol ! id dread to think how much £££ went into that one !

Yea that's true, but still some of the stuff he uses is pretty cheap. i.e all the shower tube casing. As long as you got the skills/know how, you can cut out a lot of the cost. "Knowledge is power" as they say. Good luck with that build can't wait to see finished result. It's a bit different than anything i seen before, not many painted hard disks. Was going to try the clear perspex cover for hard disk and dvd drive.

ive got a cheapie 12 gig drive here that was gonna get the treatment ( windowed top) but i cannot for the life of me find my star drivers :mad:

its apparently one of the hardest mods to get right !! so be careful, even the slightest suggestion of a speck of dust means ** disc is ruined !!

s96024 · 13 Jun 2006 at 18:22

Yea nigh impossible. It won't be done on any drive i care about, atleast the first time till i see how it goes. I just love seeing the insides of things. Going for as completely clear case/system as i can. "Horses for courses" and all that.

R B Customs · 13 Jun 2006 at 19:28

OOOOPS !
i slipped with a screw driver, repatedly, win a twisting motin, inside a bag... and the lid off this HDD just happened to come off.
