PowderCoating a Maze - Page 3

ivan2740 · 11-26-2002, 10:14 PM

Does anyone know if the Lian Li (full tower) would be able to go through powdercoating? I am unsure if they have alot of plastic on them, but if so, can all of the plastic parts be removed and put back on afterwords? Also, does anyone know what all plastic parts are on it?

mfpmax · 11-26-2002, 10:33 PM

forget the 5.0...I want more info on the 2.3 Turbo

NeosPirahnis · 11-27-2002, 12:24 AM

beautiful dude, damn I'm jealous :P

and Lian-Li's are generally All aluminum from my understanding. Though I would question the case's durability from the standpoint that many of the aluminum parts may warp under the 400 degree curing temps required in powdercoating.

who knows, I'm probobly wrong, but some of the parts of my case warped slightly, and this baby is all steel.

ivan2740 · 11-27-2002, 08:28 AM

Ah did it? So what do you think would be a good case to powdercoat??? I know someone who owns a corporation which makes powdercoated office desks... >:)

mfpmax · 11-27-2002, 12:00 PM

Most people only powder coat the inside of cases.

Thats all i've ever seen powder coated.

ciscokid454 · 11-27-2002, 11:18 PM

mine's coated on the outside...
i'll try to get some pics soon.

ivan2740 · 11-27-2002, 11:22 PM

Ok cool

ciscokid454 · 11-27-2002, 11:35 PM

actually, my brother did this really cool thing with some of the chrome fan guards..
I am really impressed with two tone candy apple red/translucent blue....depending on how you look at them.. you also see the purple..really badass//

ivan2740 · 11-27-2002, 11:36 PM

Chrome fan's look great in pictures, even better in real life in your opinion??

ciscokid454 · 11-27-2002, 11:38 PM

yeah, they look badass..

ivan2740 · 11-27-2002, 11:40 PM

Hmmm I dunno what to do... I wan't to be able to do watercooling in a case in the future, but I'm unsure which one I should get... If I got a lian li, would the 60's have enough room for a WC setup? or would I have to do a 70??? Because right now it looks like im doing lian li or chieftec.. but the lian li looks so much nicer because of the all aluminum...

It's a CRIME telling something like that and not showing a picture!

ciscokid454 · 12-01-2002, 01:27 PM

yes..I agree...
pics will be coming by new years...

TheStapleGunKid · 12-01-2002, 02:34 PM

Yeah, I ran out of translucent blue, but that's what i plan on doing to my 120mm fan guard that is on the side of my case.
Pic below with the windows in.

EDIT: ok, got most of my lighting all in. Attached the pic below.

ivan2740 · 12-12-2002, 09:22 PM

I must say, that is a nice paint job

NeosPirahnis · 12-22-2002, 11:09 PM

not too bad man, not too bad at all.

came togeather quite nicely

Was just going to ask though, if you had any peticular preference for matching plastic bezels and the like to the powdercoat of the case, in terms of Paint that is.

ciscokid454 · 01-05-2003, 01:19 PM

ok...i'm gonna try and get some pics this week..and post them for everyone..
I have to paint the plastic and some other parts of the case..but i'll post what we've done so far..

ciscokid454 · 01-25-2003, 03:28 PM

i'm finally home, so I can get my film developed..and let you all enjoy the pics...
