    He sprayed it first with a silver colour, then scratched it to give that effect I believe

    Cool Cooler Master

    My actual computer, 201b-SX1 case with 2x pioneer 109xlc limited edition brushed alu drives, lian li TR3, power/reset LEDs swapped out for blue ones, 2x 80mm blue Silenex LED fans in the front, Evercool Alu rear and top 80mm fans (for sexy looks) More picture in link in sig:



    The family:



    From left to right:
    111b-SX2 - Newly restored - See link in sig
    111c-SX1 - Mint in box, never used
    201b-SX1 - My PC, mint condition but obviously used - See link in sig
    201b-SXK - Some might say 'silver widow' excellent conditon but has been used
    201c-SX1 - Mint in box, never used
    201c-SX1 - Breaking up for spare parts

    Just need get rid of the 111b-SX2 and the 201c-SX1 and replace with a 100, 101, 200-SX1/2 and/or a 500 to make my family complete!

    Thats the Eclipse 62 right? Nice case that. I do like cases with pre-sprayed internals. Much easier than doing it yourself.

    Only really 'modded' PC (out of the 6 that reside in my tiny little bedroom).

    Biggest accomplishment was cramming it all into such a small chassis. Yes that is a full size ATX board.



    Spec wise its getting on a bit now, 2GHz Mobile Barton, 512MB RAM, Golden Limited 5900XT, plugged into an Abit KV7. Still ahndles whatever I throw at it, even if it does take it a couple of hours per film.

    Someone asked about a pic when discussing watercooling:



    Spec as per sidebar <--

    It's an Alphacool Basic kit, 8mm ID kit hose, I want to fit a GPU block at some point. The top fan and connector housing from the case has been removed to allow the radiator to sit on the case. It's got standoffs made from Alu tube bolted into rubber chair feet from Homebase. I used a bit of secret spec foil to wrap round the pipe running behind the PSU exhaust. I want to fit an extractor fan or two, to bring down the case temp.
    My first foray into watercooling, thus far a success.

    Don't worry, it's just flashbacks to a dodgy second hand deal, thrashed out at a services on the M4 Completely the wrong case though, as I've even put the make and model on the image!

    it looks very similar apart from the feet ... and the two 80mm instead of one 120mm rear vents... Anyway, good to hear it's useful as a doorstop
