Okay, I really want to punch myself for this. But I've been modding my case for a few days now. I cut in a new window on the main side panel, And on the opposite side, i went for an AMD cut out, which I did, came out looking good. Well I just sat the two side pannels against my wall and continued to work on the front bezel, bondoing and what not.

Well I cam back into my room and put the sides back on, The main window looked good, needs some work, but looked good. I put on the other side and thought it looked odd for some reason. Well I continued to look at it, and my big fat AMD cutout is backwards and upside down.

There are some pictures attached.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Without trying to find a new side panel.

I was thinking just finish cutting out a square and having a small window there, and doing a design on it or something. Not much room between the motherboard tray and that panel though

Large aluminum sheet. Bondo. Sand. Cut again. Paint. Done Mistakes do happen and there is usually always a way to correct them!

Leave it. It's different.

Thats a good idea jessica, but then it is no longer flush with the outside of the case, and you have a big cliff on top and round the sides. But it would work if I could find some really thin alluminum.

And this case has no sentimental attachments to my, so I might just get another 25 dollar case and go from there, start all over again.

j-dogg : That is an idea, I thought about leaving it for awhile, and I still dont know if i'm going to, I think I could pull it off with some green lazerLEDs behind it or something to light it up, and frost the window.

That's what the bondo is for so that after you finish sanding it'll be flush with the case. And yes green Lazer light leds would pull it off nicely.

What you could do is go with a sick ass paint job and somehow tie the upside-down AMD logo into it.

That would be more than a sick ass paint job.

I have no possible clue on how you could use that with a paintjob.
Maybe like a metallic green and make a shadow effect kind of thing, going out to a normal AMD logo, or something like that.

Hmm, if anyone has some ideas, toss them my way.

Hmm why don't you flip your pc. It might help alleviate the backwardness of the AMD or maybe have a mirror paintjob or a acid trip paintjob. Have a surreal effect or image, something Dali-esque melting clocks and all.

yeah, i could flip it...then everything else would be upside down. But the dali-esque thing sounds good. I have a friend who is really good at air brushing, I could see what he could do with it. Thanks for the idea man.

Why don't you have a bigger AMD logo painted onto it, but rotated 45 degrees so that it somehow fits around the cut-out AMD logo. kinda hard to explain, but think of it as a wormhole shaped like an AMD logo

Sounds interesting, But I would have to see what you are thinking of.
I see a sketch from you coming on.

But yeah, i'm sure there is some way to make it work out with something.

Yes, I'll sketch something out tomorrow, bedtime is coming up and I am up at 0430 every morning to ride to work, so I'll throw ya someting this way when I get home tomorrow.

Sounds awesome
I think I have the basic idea of what you are saying, It sounds good. I might just have to do it.

use that panel on the other side....and cut out a new amd logo on the "good" panel, the panels should be identical however, putting the already cut panel on the other side will essentially flip the window to its proper position, just add some ambient lighting for it....

It would work like that, but the other panel has a 10"x10" window and two fans allready on it. So, I would just have a window in a weird spot on it. I could probably find a side panel for it somewhere. I have no idea who makes it, or anything, it's a weird old case that I bought for like 25 bucks to mod.

If you know someone in the car body repair business then you may be able to cut out some Ali sheet the same as the holes, TIG weld it back in, quick whiss over with a grinder and after a repaint your AMD logo will be gone. Or just cut it out to make another window

Yeah, thats a lot of work though. I could weld it back on myself, but it would be a pain in the ass. But yeah I might try that. Thanks for the idea

Personally, I like it upside down and backwards

As for incorporating it into the paint....you could maybe have a little picture down in the bottom left that it could be pointing to? I'm not really sure what you could put, but that's my 2c....

I'd go with sick paint job man...tie the two amd logos together.

Umm.... I dont know if anyone thought of this.. what if hes got his panels on the wrong side of the case.....
