the case used to be yellow, i just used some aitcraft stripper and then used mothers mag polish and polished it.
Maverick
I used good old fashioned bondo and spot filler, then after i had it all screwed up, i took it to the paint shop next to my shop, spent 50 bucks, and had them fix it , but i couldnt do it so i tool it to someone who could. but i hope you guys like it. oh, and the pictures were taken eairler today at stompfest in indianapolis. www.stompfest.com it was SO FRIGGIN COOL!!!!

nope it is all polished, the onlything that is painted is the base of the case and the front, The HD mount was an after thought, i was going to put it in the 5 1/4 bay, but i had all that dead space ater i cut the 3 1/2 bays out. i am going to put a floppy above the PSU with the door going out the back. but are we ever done modding?

It's a beauty. Awesome job.

Some tidbits:
--Just out of curiosity...where are the intake fans?
--Route some of that wiring. It would look even more pimp like that.
--Get rid of the red in there...looks like CPU fan? Red and blue are conflicting colors, both aesthetically and symbolically.
--I like the mounted HDD, but wouldn't it look even cooler with a window and maybe some LED's?
--Biohazard grills......well you know the rest.

Hope some of my criticism proves helpful.

ANON-there is a 120mm 70cfm intake in the bottom front, the bottom of the front panel is cut out, plus the side 120's are intakes. the red 120 on the CPU was meant to show heat, cause that baby ran at 2505 all weekend!!! @45c. , as for the wireing, i ran out of places to hide stuff! youshould see the other side of the mobo tray!, as for the HD led.....it is a SATA Seagate 120gb, i am not cutting a window in that!, the grills were whati had lying around, i am going to get ahold of GK and get some of his tribal grills, or o back to the wire grills. not sure yet....thanks for the input

MDK-never, and i repeat never ever assoceiate ( i know i can't spell...) anything i do with that company

i have about three months solid in the creation of this case. plus loads of money. Alienware goes against everything i do in this feild, you beleive i have already had to fix one of the new ones? plus a Area51 laptop...i talked the kid into buying one of mine
