Hello ROG Fans!
I just want to share my latest project. It's actually a quick modding project I had to do for local gaming event here in Manila and ASUS being one of the major sponsors of the event. Sorry for the lack of detailed worklog pics. I only had less than a week to finish this project before the event.
For this project I'll be using an old SilverStone Raven 2 Case, that I have standing here in the shop for the longest time.
here's me making a quick sketch for the case.
the bare case with all the panels and internal parts dissasembled.
ASUS ROG Maximus V:
i used some texturized matte black vinyl decals to cover up the io port
i also removed the stock mosfet heatsinks and painted them to matte black.
done!

I'm using some of my old parts for this build so I had to do a little bit of modding to make them fit into the theme.
Heatkiller 3.0 CPU waterblock

doing some test fitting on the parts inside the case.
i placed some vinyl decals on the copper side of the gpu waterblocks to prevent them from standing out too much and ruining the entire color scheme.

creating a vector layout for the side and front panels.
the custom acrylic panels. fresh from the lasercutting shop.
i used my trusty acrylic bender to create a slightly raised edge on the acrylic.
after some final checking and test fitting. they are now ready for painting.

i forgot to take pics of the actual painting process, and i barely had the time to take proper pics because i only had a few days to finish the project before the event.
but i took a shot with my camphone while i was waiting for the paint to dry in my ghetto oven. (pics taken inside my car on a sunny day here in manila)

i used the same perforated canvass to lineup the reverse side of the metal panels. looks cooler than just painting it matte black.
a quick preview of the finished panels.
