Completed Project: merliniplexi 2.0

merlinicorpus · 02-March-05, 12:24 AM

Well I started this about a year ago, but it's finally complete. What do you think?

Coelacanth · 02-March-05, 12:48 AM

It's neat and clean, I might have liked it if you'd have used that teal color on more of your components, instead of just the rounded IDE cables and fans. You have a transparent case but you show off grey drives/PSU and ugly yellow & black labels...Maybe take a plunge and paint the housings of these units next time.

merlinicorpus · 02-March-05, 01:50 PM

Yeah, I'm thinking about pulling them out and painting them. It wouldn't be too hard to do.

firefox90 · 02-March-05, 10:25 PM

you have some specs?

droeblek9 · 02-March-05, 10:29 PM

Looks great man (painting the PSU/drive would make it look even better)

Via P4MA Pro motherboard
Intel P4 2.2GHz CPU
ATi 9600 XT graphics card
Crucial PC2100 512MB RAM
AOpen Sound card
Western Digital 40GB and 80GB PATA drives
Sony DW-D22A DVD burner

Sweeet set-up......

You know about the drives......

Just my $.02
If you don't want to paint the drives just take the Sticker off all the drives......

merlinicorpus · 03-March-05, 09:49 AM

Naw, I think I'll just paint them.

CubanConnectionZ · 03-March-05, 05:02 PM

Looks good need a handle for lan parties.

merlinicorpus · 03-March-05, 05:45 PM

A handle would be the death of this case. A totally acrylic case like this with no cross bracing and only one of the big panels glued in place would break apart if you tried to lift it only by one of the side panels. Besides, a handle would destroy the look of the case.

firefox90 · 03-March-05, 07:22 PM

yeah I really like the sleek, clean look of that setup I like how small it is...you could get some of that carbon fiber look alike sticky paper and put that over your drives that would complement the lights and the other stuff in the case instead of just one solid color

Dreyco · 03-March-05, 08:05 PM

A couple coustom grills or mesh would look nice on it too. I like the case overall

Spectrum · 03-March-05, 08:11 PM

Very clean, I like it. One more vote for those drives and the PSU from me.

merlinicorpus · 04-March-05, 12:32 AM

What color do you think? Black or blue?

firefox90 · 04-March-05, 01:02 AM

blue would blend more black would be bland

Dreyco · 04-March-05, 11:29 AM

Try to match that Teal... Itd be flippin sweet...

merlinicorpus · 04-March-05, 03:26 PM

I don't think that would look very good while it was powered up. Everything glows a much darker blue.

Dreyco · 04-March-05, 09:03 PM

Well, Im assuming those are UV Fans right? You could just paint your PSU and Drives with Blue UV and it'll come out close to that tealish blue color when they power up.

merlinicorpus · 06-March-05, 01:50 PM

I don't know if that would look good or not. I'm thinking of white though. That will glow a blue tint under UV.
