Time to get cracking on the details
I cut out the side stripe by hand
And stuck the cutout on the panel
Then I painted it Flat Black
I bought the "440" as a decal, because I'm horrible with painting on numbers/lettering
Then peeled off the backer
I purposely painted the stripe to go to the front
I'm sorry if it's not perfect. I did it all by hand with no rulers or guides
I cut out the acrylic window
And added it to the case
I got my Asus Radeon HD4830
As you can see it's about the longest box I've seen for a card of any kind
Here's the card. It's next to a CD case for size comparison
I do like that it comes shipped with caps on the outputs and the SLI
I tested the card with GPU-Z in my Windows 7 system
The hood scoop arrived from Hong Kong, but it's too shiny
So i took some sand paper to it
And flat black paint just as I used on the side stripe
After about 5 coats. . .
Next is the prep for the exhaust fan
After my dremel, this drill is the absolute best purchase I have ever made.
It not only makes a perfect hole, but it does it in a few seconds
I just have to clean it up
Then add a grill. A fan will come later
And the scoop is on!
