whitefiretiger Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Thanks for checking in and commenting whitefiretiger! I've been watching the entire time and realized i hadn't said anything lol. Figured I should pipe up as it lets the builder know people are interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnpctech Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 @xenkWon, Try Ebay for red rivets? The spec you want is 1/8" diameter with Gripe range of .092" - .125" for Computers, http://mnpctech.com/case-mods-gaming-pc-liquid-modding-custom-computer-mnpctech-overclock-cooling-fan-grills/pop-rivets-for-pc-chassis-cases-copper-black-silver-countersink/ @whitefiretiger, Thank you! appreciate the support! I also re-sprayed the front bezel grill to match the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenkw0n Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) Same honeycomb pattern I'm going with my case mod - Are you planning on using any fan filters with that grill or do you think that would be sufficient? Also I think I found a good "part number" to go by when looking for rivets with a grip range that would work with computers. "#42 rivet" seems to be a standard a lot of rivets are falling under specifying 1/8 diameter with a grip range of "0.062 up to 0.125 inches". Tried googling "42 rivet red" and got back a number of hits that all seemed to have the same specs Edited September 19, 2016 by xenkw0n Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenkw0n Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 I ended up ordering the 1/8 diameter 1/8-1/4 grip red rivets and just tried one. It worked great and had a tight grip, the only downside is how long it stuck through the other side. Oh and they were steel so it took a little work to get it back out :-x All-in-all it should still work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnpctech Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Cool, and modding is soo fun eh? Yes, I'll use the black aluminum mesh PC fan filters Decided on dual serial for the SLI bridge so I had to cut and bend new SS tubing segments for entering and exiting the GPU blocks. Here is the Koolance SLI Bridge, GTX Backplate and Blocks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenkw0n Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Yes I am enjoying it. I just find myself rarely playing games anymore and that's half the reason I like to have nice computers! I'm going all out on the sanding and going over everything. Going to take a bit longer but I don't have a computer to put in the case at this point so I'm in no rush. The only thing I have to worry about is getting everything done and ready for painting since the weather is going to start getting cooler out. Although it will be less humid so I guess there's a trade-off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnpctech Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Thats cool! On Saturday I received my DDR sticks, 32GB of Corsair Vengeance. The sticks were Black, so I hit local home improvement store and found a great aerosol substitute paint for the Porsche Gulf Racing Blue, it's Harbor Blue enamel paint by Rustoleum. I'm using these to create a DIY video guide to painting DDR heat spreaders, too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
