window so far:

paint(silver as base and blue for design)

painted Globe 120mm fan from mnpctech.com:

ooo pretty pictures...I hate using that enlight case - the rails piss me off (always losing them) and the fact that you have to take off the front to get the side panels off...what genius thought of THAT?

As far as the mod goes though, nice window layout...paint choice looks good too

jinxÂ© · 24-March-04, 11:37 AM

One of the first cases I modded was that Enlight.
Not a bad case at all for the price, other than the few points PJ brought up. (Suicide doored my side panels so that issue was resolved...lol)

Looks like a cool plan and coming along nicely Gumby.

I like the case other than to 2 major griping points I mentioned - don't get me wrong...my first case mod was an enlight too...my bezel kept getting scratched though whenever I popped it off which really pissed me off...

layout in the case is great though...suiciding the doors would be an excellent idea...I wasn't into modding that much then though...it didn;t even have a window

just black paint on the inside and purple on the outside with the buttons and drive cages (and other things) highlighted with gold...

here is a better pic of the fan:

AltoNova1 · 25-March-04, 11:30 PM

ok, i'm not the brightest person in the world but where's the design with the flaming skull going? the other side of the case or a front design? also, plannin on painting the whole case? i know i should just assume but you know what they say about that...

Gumby55 · 26-March-04, 08:49 AM

window is half done, gonna paint whole case silver, then blue for designs. 2 top 80mm fans w/ more cutting and 120mm in front for turbine or a modders mesh grill.

srry for not being clear

Gumby55 · 30-March-04, 11:05 PM

top of case. the camera focused to far in to the paint.

here is my idea for the power supply

AltoNova1 · 30-March-04, 11:09 PM

whoa, that's freakin cool. you gonna put in an led in the power supply to show it off right? did you already paint the power supply or anythin yet?

Gumby55 · 30-March-04, 11:11 PM

i'm gonna replace the regular fan w/ a blue led fan, that should do it i hope. but i need more black paint, stuff goes fast and isn't cheap :\

Dimazz · 31-March-04, 06:58 PM

I like it!!! Very kewl drawings, did you do them? Are you going to polish that paint? And why the sad face on the pic with the paint?

Spectrum · 31-March-04, 07:12 PM

man that window is kick @$$. nice work so far, looks like your taking your time and planning very carefully. good job!

vladimir · 31-March-04, 07:20 PM

mmmm candy apple...thats an awsome color

Gumby55 · 02-April-04, 08:13 PM

n00b question. can i just cut the wires and solder the new fan right there?

ugh, gotta clean it out too.

vladimir · 02-April-04, 08:14 PM

yes you can

Arkangyl · 02-April-04, 09:12 PM

lookin pretty sweet so far. Is that PSU thing going to be painted on or a window???

Gumby55 · 02-April-04, 09:54 PM

window w/ modder's mesh behind it

Gumby55 · 10-April-04, 02:17 PM

didn't come out like i wanted, so a regular window, real dissapointed

DuplexEmotions · 10-April-04, 02:21 PM

get a sand blaster kit for an air compressor, put a regular window in it, then etch in the skull. Would look really nice.

Gumby55 · 10-April-04, 02:31 PM
