So I bought an Antec 900 to drown my sorrows :D

I have been having some problems contacting AC Ryan with some questions:

What is the best stuff to clean the Acrylpanel Mirror2 with?

Where can I buy 8 inch Blue Overburst CCFLs?

Where can I find the 5 pack of UV reactive paint?

 

Performance-PCs.com has a large selection of A.C.Ryan products including a range of their UV paints and the 20cm blue CCFLs (A.C.Ryan doesn't explicitly label their 20cm CCFLS as overburst though)

 

I personally use the Novus#1 for cleaning acrylic; that should work with the mirror panel as well

OK, Carl, here's your inspration at work:

Not as good on the cable management as you, but it's pretty easy to get in and out of.

Good Lord, I think I am ready to give up on shooting the Acrylpanel Mirror2.

Just so hard to get a decent shot without a reflection.

 

But I am very, very happy with the window to say the least.

 

I added 2 x 8" AC Ryan blue (bottom rear window side and next to HDDs on window side).

And then I added 2 x 12" AC Ryan Blue "Overburst" on each side of the top.

 

An awful lot of light in there and it really lights up the entire inside and allows the window to be almost transparent.

I think the pics show that the light is more even throughout the case.

Actually, at night it seems to be transparent (translucent?) with a ting of blue.

I did try the UV reactive paint on the edges of the vid card and Hauppage TV card.

Not as bright as I had hoped but still a good effect.

Love the last pic, looks awesome. I think what you need to do is hang a black sheet right behind the camera, so there is nothing to reflect in the window;)

That UV paint really does look good in there; hmmmm maybe I should have A.C.Ryan for some of that as well.

Thanks for the camera/black curtain tip!

I may try moving the PC, LOL

If they don't come through let me know.

I got a lifetime supply.

 

it really makes a difference using UV, 4 times as bright at least.

I meant to say should have asked :|

 

I'll have to see what they include in the prize pack for the MotM victory

The side panel really gives it an element of class bro, Im so impressed with that alone.

[sparkyftw]

man I need a case to drown my sorrows in.

[soundx98]

Thinking I need a big chuck of copper and more light in there.

Picked up a Zalman CNPS9700 LED from a forum member.

On the road again this week, pics on Sunday.

They are nice coolers them Zalmans. Just have to find the spare time to strip my antec's of the 939 gear.

 

I'm going to begin with drilling out the 80mm fan holes to accommodate 120mm and 92 mm. Also a custom new front is in planing.

 

For The sake of the finish, which is rather scratched due to laning. I will get the Antec Powdercoated ( Like you do with your flash rims for cars yo). Undecided as of yet. Toss between Dark blue or white. Heck I may be able to get both lol Get the whole Shelby colour scheme going there.

The Zalman CNPS 9700 LED got here this afternoon and I just finished mounting it.

Temps dropped 3 degress from the AC 64 Pro and it looks awesome (may take me a while to get used to it after looking at the AC 64 for a year)

 

Need to work on a base for the rig.

Tried using my silver tongue to commission radodrill for the project but he is just too dang busy.

 

Rado was extremely helpful though and I have it all planned out in my mind's eye.
