I wanted to redo my case this weekand so heres what I did
First thing I did was prime/paint.

Here the front of the case

Then the rest

Then I took it to work for the painting. I used metalcast blue and Instant Chrome.

Then after all that had to clean up my water block and rad. I let the block soak in vinagar over night as well as I filled the raid with it and let it soak. Worked sweet!

Then I took it to my buddy Shaun house "Lowvez" nick* And we both redid the water in our systems. we started at 12:30 and finish at like 11 that night. We had to do a few runs for parts/lunch.

Thats pretty much is I still have soem wire hidding to do but its a good start

Also what I used for water setup:
Swifttech mcp650 Water pump
Maze4 P4 water block
77 Boniville heater core
Dexcool Water mix
2X 120mm Vantec fans for the Rad
1/2 ID and 3/4OD tubes

Damn nice job on the case!

I have that case myself in black....and still in black, but what you have done to it is awesome! Well worth the time by the looks of it, looks nicer than the proper blue xaser 3

Josh award for that i think!

I'm more of a "factory finish" kinda guy. Good work.

Note: you may want to resize your avater, its 29k should be under 6k.

If you are using dexcool, make sure there is ZERO air in the system.

Make sure their is no water in the resevoir or anything.

Dexcool reacts with air to create acid.

yo... y`know how you have your two chroms fans at the back of your case?? well there is a grate on top of them that came stock with the case right?? cut that crap off... it`ll create better airflow and much less noise... no one sees the back of your case so dont worry about how it looks.. and if you do.. just slap a chrome grill on it for like a buck.. do it man it`ll be soo worth it.. honostly i did it to all my fans
