TermudaSquare Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 - I’m Nick with Termuda-Square-Tech and this is my first modding competition and actually my very first ever mod and would love to take my passion for pc’s a step further. I’m very detail oriented and am used to building custom cars, so for this build I wanted every millimeter and every aspect of this build to be modded and serve a purpose but yet something that could be seen as a practical system. My personal rule is, If it doesn’t look good from a inch away I will remake it until it does. - This build interior is based off a military type clean cut feel “stealth” so to call it. A reversal of contrast ! Bright on the outside ,dark on the inside.

TermudaSquare Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 Posting build logs a bit late, but have been focused on modding. (each reply will be different days of work) - PAINT TIME !! - Figured i would start off with with a color for the case and begin with taking the case apart and prepping for paint and painting it. - Mixed paint from my paint bank and made my own color, Prepped, adhesion promoter, sealer, basecoat, clearcoat, dry time. All in a paint booth with a spray gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TermudaSquare Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 - Making more room for more cooling !! - Had to cut the frame a bit more to get 280mm radiator from EKWB to fit in the top as well as radiator mounting bracket. - Had to drill rivets for top handle as well in order to install radiator handle has to be re-riveted after radiator install.
