Well folks - about a week or so ago I started commisioning two of PimpRig's finest to help me out with a project I want to do, and I wanted it to end up perfect. Lokie and Digital-World (and his airbrushing amigo) are taking on the first stages for me, and I'll finish the fine details after it's been worked over by them. It'll all be based on a Coolermaster Centurion 541 mATX chassis.



The theme is the simplistic Ace of Spades (aka the death card) - simple, and easily recognized. With a few extra touches such as a window laser etched with a sigil combining my trademark Hellsing affinity with PR related traits. "PR/Hellsing Sigil" was hack job design by me, Lokie and Twizted of PimpRig and Dragonmodz fame cleaned image up and handled finding the laser etcher.

Basic items that'll be compiled for this project are:

• Mirror finish black pearl paint job (To be handled by Digital-World)
• Custom window design (Complete - handled by Lokie with Twizted Indian's help on cleaning origonal image up)
• Air brush mural relating to Ace of Spades theme (to be handled by Digital-World's amigo)
• Custom order Dragon HDD Meter - green low-output. Yes Twizted, I'll finally use it.
• 3 fan total is end goal, 1 120, and 2 80s. Fanless PSU and watercooling the rest. Silence is golden, the temps hopefully will be fair.
• Full loop in a small package, CPU/NB/GPU. AKA 10 lbs of crap in a marble sack.

Hardware wise, it's still a fair way down the road, but I'm thinking 939 CPU, 7800GT video, Creative audio, Raptor HDs, DVD burner, and 2 gigs of RAM at this point.

I say you find a SFF SLI board and stuff a X-2 in there for good measure

All internal watercooling system. Black/white/chrome for all external, lighting will probably end up green.

Darn Right!

I just wish the image was larger, I would have been able to do it by hand and not lazer... It's more personal that way for me.

That window looks sick. Best of luck on this project, bro. I'll be keeping an eye on it!

What does the text on the right side say? I see "Cooled &" and can't read anymore. Also, what does the Latin (?) text mean?

Cooled & Overclocked, Gott Mit Uns = God With Us. It's part of the origonal Sigil design, so I just left it... it's German.

The "Death Card" is the kewl touch. Can't wait to see the final product..

I think it's a great idea. Only thing i would change is the title of this thread to "Aces High" instead of "Ace is high"... sounds like your best friend is on crack or something.

Sorry - I've delt a helluva lot of poker hands, always call it "ace is high". You go into a poker room and say aceS high all you want.

Sweet Project!

sweet project, nice lil twist on a plain anime case

NOT an anime case. My avatar and sig are Hellsing based so I threw a dash of Hellsing into the window. That's as far as it goes though. Theme is Ace of Spades, not anime.

Just wanted to let you know. If you are going with a NF4 board that has SATA 2 ports go with the new SATA2 drives from Hitatchi or Samsung with NCQ.

Crazy Alaskan hermit...
