Mirror acrylic and a 7900GT Block

Now I decided that I didn’t like all the white, but still wanted to make the case bright and airy. So I came up with making a few panels out of mirror acrylic to cover both of the floors and the roofs, and some other bits also to tidy it all up.

Right now time for the acrylic.

I ordered quite abit, various sizes as Ive never worked with acrylic before and Im expecting some mistakes. So be gentle Im no Tribal! :D

The bandsaw…. This made life alot easier :D

The rad cuts……

I didnt take many photos whilst actualy working sorry!

But here are some shots of the pieces in place still safely covered in tape!

Some of the pics still have rough masking tape on them but the acrylic is nice underneath!

And here is some acrylic porn, slighly undressed so you know whats going to be going on!

I bought a 7900GT card from a friend as this rig wasn’t (at the start) intended for gaming. It came with a waterblock already but I got it cheap because it was full of sludge. A few hours and the missus tooth brush and look what happened….

Once the grime was off I needed to get rid of the dark tarnish of the block so I thought Id try T-Cut, its got a low abrasive in it and it came up great!

While I was there the acrylic top had a lot of little scratches making it dull so I used more T-Cut on that and its now like new!

After cleaning the block again with Articlean 1 + 2 to get rid of any residue I nailed the old girl back together.

Now fully assembled…
