| I decided about a month or so ago that it would be nice if my daughter can have her very own computer in her room. I was just going to give her an old 500mhz emachines I have, but then thought that a modded computer would be even better. And the theme? Care Bears, she's a real fan. So here's the case. 1 nice blank piece. ![]() I will be making a huge Tenderheart bear vinyl sticker for the side panel. I then cut out the heart belly symbol and will backlight it with red LED's. ![]() But that wouldn't be enough of a view of the inside. So I decided that I would draw a heart next to Tenderheart and make it look like he's carrying a balloon. ![]() I stripped the computer down and took everything off. ![]() And removed the faceplate. ![]() Then painted it first with primer. ![]() Then with blue. ![]() Then I painted the metal frame white. After it dries for about two days, I put all the componenets back in. I painted the CD and Floppy drives to match the faceplate. ![]() Then I painted the PSU and the HD rack light blue too. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm using round yellow (her favorite color) IDE and Floppy cables. The lighting will be all red. Two red fans and a red cathode. And the fans will be held in with these custom fan screws made by Duck from CMG. ![]() And here's the case after it's last coat of blue. ![]() Last edited by TheGreatSatan; 21-August-04 at 09:50 AM.. | ||

| Welcome to PimpRig.com. I agree, way to go introducing yourself with two fantastic mods. I gave you a rep point right off the bat for being a thoughtful father. Some guys wouldn't take any pride or even admit that they are going all out making an original mod for their children's computer. Going this length to make something that I'm sure she is going to enjoy, in addition to the fact that it looks like you're not cutting corners, is a definate plus in my book. Again, welcome to the club! Rob | ||

| The Care Bear case is almost complete. I spent 3 hours adding the final touches to it and here's what I did. First I made some stencils for clouds, stars, and the Care Bear Castle Care-A-Lot. ![]() ![]() Then I spray painted the clouds and outlined them in black. ![]() ![]() ![]() I also decided it would be cool if the case had an LCD, so with my spare, I added one. ![]() ![]() Next I killed the lights and took some more pics. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's one with a custom Care Bear fan grill. ![]() Here's the pic looking through the Heart window. ![]() And the top mesh screen. ![]() I still have to buy the large vinal sticker for the side, but will be completely done with the case by Tuesday. | ||
