Yep. Using them as feet instead makes it look a lot better.

Yep. Using them as feet instead makes it look a lot better.
You just know someone's gonna pick it up by the bat.
Well it'll only be in my office.....
I decided to up the ante and go from the i5 3570K to the i7 3770K
Overkill? Most certainly!!
And I won't be using the Dominators I posted earlier, because I got these red and white Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 LP's.
Is 16GB of RAM overkill?. Indeed it is!
I sanded down the filler to make the bat's surface flush
Then I cut out the mounting holes in the STL logo
After I cleaned up all the rough edges, I painted the logo
I also painted the screws and sleeves that will go under the logo
Another change to the specs.
Since the new Haswell's are just about here, I'm going to get her the new i7 4770K and a new board (I think the Z87-UD4H). Also, one of my GTX 580's is bad, so I'm selling the good one and upgrading to an MSI Twin Frozr GTX 680 4GB!!
I put the STL logo on the front of the case with spacers
After several spec changes, I'm making another. I got a new Motherboard that just came out today! The Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H, socket 1150.
And the new i7 4770K!
I just need to fix the paint on the left panel. It's been giving me a headache
I got the new motherboard in the case with the new i7 4770K processor
I'll be using Corsair Vengeance Low Profile RAM with two white and two red sticks, 16GB total
I really wanted to use the Corsair H110 closed loop cooler, but it did not fit on the top of the case! So, I'm going with an old favorite instead: The Cooler Master S524 air cooler
As usual I only use this cooler with a 140mm fan. I have these really nice Gelid fans with NanoFlux bearings, but they're the wrong color
I popped off the fan blades for a repaint. I wanted to use red, but I'm all out! So white it'll be
While it dries I put the 240GB SSD in
And now it's all in. I just need the video card....
After tons of fun painting the left panel, it's finally done. First up, add the applique I ordered from CrazyPC
I've been meaning to add a real baseball to this case and not just the little feet
But first I have to drill a hole through one
And feeding an acrylic tube through it
Then I just had to drill the drive bay to hold it in
I got rid of the light controller and now I'm using the NZXT Aperature for the front panel. I like having a card reader and a couple more USB 3.0 ports available
I need to disassemble it to paint
Red and white like the rest
It only takes one night to fully dry
My 4GB MSI GTX 680 Twin Frozr arrived
And it works!
