Nice looking fans. unk:

I just wish someone would make "high end fans" that FULLY encase the wires that went from the hub to the edge of the fan, so we didn't have to see those ugly red, black, and yellow wires (and didn't have to tear them apart and resleeve them).

Where do you buy those fans from?

Sadly, in Canada, Newegg only carries one of the variants currently: Prolimatech PRO-USV14 140mm Ultra Sleek Vortex Fan - Newegg.ca

You can get them from FrozenCPU and Amazon USA though you'll have to pay silly shipping and likely import fees.

Damn.

I'll pass along your interest in these fans being available in Canada to Prolimatech. Maybe they can speak with NCIX.


*Note, Frozen is still only accepting orders over the phone or in person. They still haven't gained access to their web store.

I seriously doubt Mark ever will. With the amount of "charge backs" that he most likely dealt with, his Merchant account was most likely cancelled, and when that happens, given the requirements and conditions set on from Merchant accounts like Authorize.net (which I have for our company and as the IT Director and Officer of the company, I was the one who filled out all the paper work), the odds of him being able to get another Merchant account from anyone (especially given how Mark set up FrozenCPU as a company) is virtually impossible for at least the next 7 years.

So odds are, that is why he HAS to do credit cards over the phone, and is most likely doing it via PayPal.

But I digress.

I pretty much cancelled my old blue mod when they went down. I had a saved order for a ton of mod stuff that only they had. When it went down I bought a new case and started over.

I love those fans and wanted to use them too, unfortunately I ran into the same issues as mentioned. I also won't be doing any biz with FrozenCPU ever again. Considering how much I spent between spring 2013 and early 2015.... well :doh:

Back on topic, I'm loving the metal work on this build, Bill. That "warp core" is over the top too. Very nice.

In terms of white grommets I purchased some white vinyl dye and have some old unused grommets so I'll see if it works out and let you know (hopefully) soon. I know on PVC this stuff grips like fly paper on flies, but not sure about rubber or whatever is used for the material. I have a white Enthoo Pro that I've been thinking of doing it on as I've painted both fan grills using primer and then the exact same Rustoleum paint.

@knucklehead, all very true points :thumb:

@clshades, have you considered ordering liquid components from Dazmod? https://www.dazmode.com

@10e, Ahhh, please share yr findings! :thumb:


I received test sample sheet of printed vinyl wrap on Friday. The USS Enterprise will be cut out from the sheet, then applied over the Two tone painted Blue stripes, before the panel will be clear coated with Urethane clear. I did a test piece with a scrap Fractal Design side panel, to confirm the Black ink wouldn't react the urethane. The crease in the sheet was easily removed by re-applying the backing paper. The artwork has really tiny details, so this approach saves lots of time versus weeding out a stencil and being hand airbrushed.

Had inverted version made, just to see if I liked it instead of White over Black... still debating

TEST piece passed... (made sure Urethane clear wouldn't react to the Black ink)
