Recommended Posts

Hey Guys, I am going to be modding my Storm Enforcer. The Specs are

  • i52500K
    Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
    XFX Radeon HD 6850
    Corsair CX600
    Corsair Vengeance 4GB
    G.Skill 2x4GB 1600Mhz
    Corsair Nova 2 SSD
    Hyper212 Evo

They might change a bit. Also here the mods and things that will be done


  1. [*:3vemjbay]Paint The Exterior ( interior maybe )
    [*:3vemjbay]Carbon Fiber the graphics card, psu and some other parts
    [*:3vemjbay]Add more usb ports on the top
    [*:3vemjbay]Add a Window to the Door
    [*:3vemjbay]Add a Fan Controller or Led Controller and Leds ( Still deciding between Sentry 2 with white leds or nzxt hue eventhough it cannot control fans...any advice)
    [*:3vemjbay]Add Fans
    [*:3vemjbay]Sleeve PSU Cables and Case Cables
    [*:3vemjbay]pilot style switch for something maybe the leds if I don't get the hue
    [*:3vemjbay]Need a design to paint for the right side panel.

Any other mod suggestion??

Also I name the project the Storm Gt cuz it is loosly based on modern luxury/sports cars. I will post the current pics and some progress later tonight. The Progess Will be posted a bit fast in the begining because I am copying from another forum

but this is still a WIP.

The really really delayed update, due to several reasons, one of them being, hitting the back button on my mouse for the past half in hour while trying to type this, but thats not what we are here for, are we?

Current Pics

From the top, you can see the red showing from the tape, and yes I did the red but no wip shots unfortunatly but you guys will the product soon.

Closer Shot of the red

Front Shots with the miss spray

If you are wondering whats the tape for, two reasons mainly, re painting the black to look more glossy and hide the overspray, and the other being hide the red

Now priming the pieces

I also did my side panel

DSC02381.jpg

It is not very good because the paint started to peel, and even sanding and repainting left a few patches on it so i will be repainting it tommorow, while I clear all this stuff. Dont worry this is not over yet, I will be editing this post in about an hour with painting done pics, and tommorow I will be clear coating all this once I come back from my first day of School.

i also have a package coming from coolermaster soon
