2009 - Apple Mac Pro Chassis to PC conversion Build

Advice to anyone using Can paint...make sure to let the paint dry....at least for a couple days. Depending on the humidity obviously.
This radiator just needs some touch ups on the paint, but nothing serious. As you really only seeing the one side mostly.





Ended up getting to spraying the original re-grill. Very hard to prep with all those holes. And the weird green corrosion thats inside each hole. As its a foil thats applied over these grills.
Looks good none the less.



But I had to do further cutting, cutting I really didnt / want to avoid. The grill just wasnt fitting in its original place cause of the motherboard tray. (So more paint cleaning up and touch up, along with a printed cover strip on the back)



Lastly the 360 grill. Had a new one re-cut as the design was flawed for mounting. As I ended up having to cut the tabs off the actual case as different radiator made my matching up holes off.

The grill will get some decent screws to cover the holes. As again, wiggle room for alignment



Still need a white motherboard. Because essentially then I can start planning the loop.

I either just bite the bullet and buy another board, without selling my Asus TUF or try Sell the ASUS TUF and then provision the extra for a White motherboard.
