Doubtful with $86 bess you go ahead with h80i

Agreed.

Would take some digging up on ebay for used parts for that budget.

Possible.

Made an attempt at painting an ex120 i wasnt using.



Got some rough spots while applying the ground coat. Will try some wet sanding when im painting the others.

[Chiney]

did u spray at least 12" away and very very light first coat?

[2NR Smurf]

^12" yeh...but i think i probably went a little heavy on the 1st coat.

I'm no expert painter but that looks pretty good to me

[ismithx]

Smurf.... dah case real hard.... good stuff

[Chiney]

not really..

his plan to wet sand and go again will fix that..it looks like it was painted, need that stock look smurfy!

[2NR Smurf]

^ yupp. The color correct...is the finish i need to get right.
I figure i need to be a lil more patient and take my time too...i did kinda rush the ground coat.
I have a couple days wait for my fittings to come in. So ill take my time and go again...all i really need is for that one visible side to come out good
i also have to figure out how to mount this tube res without drilling anywhere

[Chiney]

Yep! I figure it was impatience. Lol. Exciting to see end result. That's how I learnt the hard way.

You got some spray on the fins there?

[2NR Smurf]

^yeh only on the side. Didnt spend much time on masking as i dont plan on using this rad. it was just to test out the paint.

[jm3]

What type of paint are you using doesn't it effect the radiators ability to dissipate heat?

[2NR Smurf]

It shouldnt really. Im only painting the sides. The fins and chambers will be properly masked to keep their original finish

[HCCA]

Yeah make sure and mask it up good.

Thankfully my rads hidden so i eh need to paint nah.

One of my triple rad's housing could unscrew and separate from the core/fins section, doh see much of that around but it's a good feature for customization.

[2NR Smurf]

^hopefully it not too fubar

Made a pass at painting my 240 and 360. Here goes...



It just the poor lighting making it look uneven. Just a lil wet sanding and it should be good to go!

[2NR Smurf]

Took my time with the 360. Think it paid off.




Might put just 1 more coat and call it a day.

[iM@st@1]

Can't really see the finish, you should take some pics outside instead.

[2NR Smurf]

[Ted_v2]

Looks good.

i called wizz today, usb sound card is 480something

so much?

[iM@st@1]

Looks nice, like that paint quality.

[Chiney]

yeah when i got the rad today from smurfy, i started sanding the paint i realized it was of really good quality!

i primed it really nice this afternoon.

[HCCA]

Probably is the creative xfi go usb they have for that price.

If you consider a PCI card you can get one in supertech for ah $100.

Or you can get a cheap usb from amazon like this:

[Ted_v2]

Might change the pci card then. Will let them do the install to insure it's working ect

[2NR Smurf]

Still have to figure out how im going to secure my pump and res properly.

[Chiney]

Noiceeeeeee!
