Default Ehh just throwing some ideas around

ok well i know earlier i was posting about just buying an entire new system, but the deal with my friend wasnt working out (mostly because his parents dont like me... ) but i decided i still wanted a new case since i completely !@#$ed up the case i have now by being a noob and trying to paint without extensively researching it.

But im thinking or ordering a Chieftec Matrix Ma-01WD Full tower from directron.com and cutting an *undecided* desgin that will either be two or three seperate holes/cuts around one 90mm led fan and what im planning is having each window lit up by a group of leds or a cc, but i dont know which to use. I would like to use three seperate ccs and have the fan be like the color that all three of the ccs would produce is combined. Tell me what ya think and ill try to work out a design in psp8, also if you have any other better sites for my case, or any better cases, plz tell me all help is greatly appreciated.

It would be great to fill up those holes with some bondo and paint/polish it clean.
I think chrome did something like this, might want to check with him.

I'd be wary of putting too many lights in that close of proximity otherwise you might end up with something like this number:

Sometimes less is more.

lol yea anonymous i guess you may have a point on limiting the ammount of lights. I think i may go with two ccs on the bottom and one of the top and having blue led fans. I'm still having trouble with a design tho. im sick of all the boxes and circle crap so im tryin to think of something different. Anyone have any ideas?

Look at my case in the Gallery, Chrome Illusion v1.0. it was lit up like a Christmas tree, but i think there are some ideas that may spark your interest. make good use of space, keep wires clean, and sometimes a window isnt always the best choice.

That site has some great tutorials. Look for "bondo" articles.

I think that I'm going to have to get a Chieftec case too. I think that IÂ’m going to be forced into it because all other Full towers that I want are very expensive for a first full mod.

This is my dream case for modding. Or a nice Lian Li.
