Pfft, what wax job?

I was actually nervous it was gonna come out odd. Arigatou!


After this case is done and I take the pictures, I swapping out these retarded fans.

They REALLY hate to be painted, so there's a warning to you guys planning on painting some R4's. Other fans tend to handle paint easier, but the R4's become a rattling POS from hell once they're painted. I was able to replicate on my old ones too... they just never got THIS bad.

Mine is by far not the greatest, you should check out Million-Dollar-PC if you think mine is okay. I was inspired by those guys.

Side panel is 100% stock except for the paint. Looked better than with the just straight plexi window and plexi w/ mesh.


Btw, updated original post with more pictures.

Bull sh*t. Best Case mod ever

Only things that I could see you improving on:

You could have used red heatshrink on your sleeving. This would have been that little bit if red tinge you need with those cables!

You should have cut the holes for the PCIE\24 pin cables farther away from the motherboard. The way through real tight up agaisnt the motherboard like that doesnt look as good IMO.

You should have sleeved the PSU, not just extensions

The foam makes it look sooooo much better though

I ordered some white and red sleeving, but it's taking too long to get here, was thinking it wouldn't take this long.

You should have cut the holes for the PCIE\24 pin cables farther away from the motherboard. The way through real tight up agaisnt the motherboard like that doesnt look as good IMO.
I was thinking the same thing. It initially was long enough to wrap around a reservoir and back behind the board, but that idea was canned.

You should have sleeved the PSU, not just extensions
Just in case of RMA... too scared. Dunno how people sleeve their revo's w/o the fear of it going bad.

The foam makes it look sooooo much better though
To cover that crappy black interior paint job, rofl.

I really appreciate the criticism!

Small update I guess:







I even ordered 6x red LED Yate Loons (clear version of the white fans on top) because after building this rig I miss LED's and pointless crazy lighting so bad. Even got a couple red LED tubes to put in the inside to make it flashy and match my room theme.

All your topics within a couple days of each other:

Link 1

Link 2

Link 3


Link 4

Sad thing is, they're all still in the very first page of this forum.

I would consider keeping everything in one simple "non-complicated" order so everyone can see **** you did to your machine. if one of your topics die, you don't even have to bother searching for it so people will know when you got your fancy PSU and other equipment that you're just so proud of.


And grow up if the best thing you're gonna do is take what I told you change who it's directed at, that's something a 12yr old would do over the "interwebz cuz he thinks he kewl".
