| Apex Techie Wannabe | I as still to name my project but here is the overall gist of it: I plan to mod the new Coolermaster Centurion 5, the pink version. Now as soon as I saw this case, in pink, I immediately though "Pimprig!" I then began fleshing out my idea. I will take the Centurion 5, spray the side panels, motherboard tray and most of the inside of the case pink. Not a girly pink but more of a very strong pink, its quite hard to explain but when I post some pictures you will see. I will then pain the remaining parts of the case, including the aluminium mesh front panel in black, not too shiny but i'll find the right balance. The bottom of the case will be covered in Leopard skin carpet (fake ofcourse) and 4 UV Blacklight Cold Cathodes will adorn the inside of the case, hopefully one next to the motherboard tray, one on the carpet at the bottom of the case, one iluminating the top of the case (maybe mounted on the roof of the case) and the last one will maybe be on the underside of the case, giving it a glow underneath, just like neons on a car ![]() I will get a standard pre cut bit of acrylic, pre tinted also, then fit it into the side of my case. At the moment I'm still unsure if I should shape or mould the window but I want to make it look as "pimp like" as I can. You guys are the masters of pimp "art" (especially Pimp_Joose's avatar, that rules) so you can probably give me some tips. I will fit some UV reactive fans and IDE cables which will glow Red when under a UV light. As you know the red is rather pinky under UV so I will be hoping to use this to fit into my colour scheme of pink! The next thing I will be custom art. From a previous mod of my case I have found a type of paper (you may of heard of it) called Transfer paper (the stuff they use for the decals on model planes) Using this paper I will print a nice logo on the top of my case, that will stand out a mile. What I had in mind was something like "Pimp Rig" written on the top, in that rather fat "bubble writting" (not sure of its name) they use at football games. I know I am very vague but i'm sure someone knows what I mean. Then on the other side panel (the mobo side) I will also have a large piece of art, hopefully something esque of Pimp_Joose's avatar (you can tell I like his Avatar! )nice and big, maybe A3 and then use either spray glue or transfer paper to put it on there. I am trying to make my case as pimp like as I can, without going OTT. Now some of you may say it is sad/lame but I do happen to really like that style (with the pink and the leopard skin carpets type thing) and would like to make a case that I can truly say is original. It has to be used as a work machine (just website developing, photoshop editing and a lot of LAN gaming!) though so I can't go making it into a car or anything, I just want some really cool artwork good looks! Any suggestions or comments will be greatly appreciated ![]() | |

So, a manly pink? Like you'd see on a huge Dodge truck? ![]() Actually it doesn't sound bad. I can't recall that particular case though. For the graphic on the side get it printed on self adhesive vinyl.... a big sticker pretty much. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Yeah, a manly pink, exactly! ![]() If I had a dodge i'd paint it that colour ![]() As I said it is a very hard colour to describe, and there arn't really any places where you can see it close up. Here is a small pic I found of the "pink" case, its a very small pic but it gives you an idea of how red it looks. But up close it is pink/purple I'll have to go out hunting for some of that Self Adhesive vinyl, not sure of anywhere they sell it round by me. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
