TGS...please take advantage of the "insert image" option when posting large pics. Any photo that causes a reflow in the forums is considered too large. This is always the preferred method rather than linking pics. This allows dial-up users the chance to read and enjoy threads without having to download huge photos. Thumbnail images rule.

Thanks,
The management

P.S. Please remove the offending photo.

It's not letting me shrink the photos down. I'll do it manually tonight and repost 'em smaller. Also, what offending photo?

The one you deleted. Or a mod deleted it. (fan grill). Thanks. If you use the insert photo rather than linking the photo, a thumbnail will automatically be generated in the thread. Then people can decide whether they want to see a larger pic by clicking on it.

I deleted it because I could get it any smaller. I did use the insert photo option and that's how they're being shown.

And...

You think that pentagrams are offensive? If so, I'd better just leave the forums now.

The "offending" pic was because of it's size, not content.


My bad. Use the manage attachments feature. Not the insert. doh

Maybe that's not a bad idea, if you're going to be an ass about it.

*cough*jackass*cough*

doesn't look like a very good paintjob, either, unless you meant for it to look like you scratched up the case with a utility knife, then sprayed a damn heavy coat on it.

That case is pretty wacky and I like what you're doing with it, but the paint job could use some improvement

I want it to look like that for a reason. It's been to hell and back and came out looking like crap!

Sometime someone is gonna have to explain the concept of satanism to me cause i just dont get it.....You worship satan, so you awknowledge their is a god, therefore in order to awknowledge their is a god and a devil you awknowledge gods scripture (otherwise neither of our religions would exist today), which in turn you believe the devil will lose in the end and burn for eternity in a lake of fire?

That would look cool on that case if you could make horns extruding from the top of the case with LEDs in the base of them that could make them glow.

Instead of someone explaining it to you, you could always look it up yourself rather than making false assumptions. If I remember correctly Satanists don't worship any form of deity or have anything to do with Christian scriptures. They aspire to the archetype known as "Satan". I guess you could say the core of it deals with self-preservation and self-interest (it's all very Nietzschian). In the sense of it being a religion, more parallels can be drawn to Buddhism than to Christianity.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread. Looks like a good canvas. If you really want it to look it it's been to hell and back, you could always take a blowtorch to it. Just remember to take the criticism in a constructive manner...not just as us trying to be asses about it.

Edit--Just remembered....you may want to take a look at this as well, done by one of our members. The theme is similar:

Well, the case looks interesting enough, and you can certainly do a lot to it. Your paintjob, if you could call it that, is lacking if you asked me.

If you were going for the two colors smeared together to look like lava, you're going in the right direction with it. Just smooth it out and get out all of that bumpiness out, and buff it out for a nice finish. Sure, it takes a lot more work, but your results will be far more durable and better looking than what you have at the moment.

I've changed the pics and their sizes to be a bit more 56K friendly.


As you can tell, I'm always busy. I'm doing about 4 Mods right now. This one is Project El Diablo, my tribute to the devil. It will be a gaming/media machine with:
Gigabyte K8NNXP-940
Athlon 64 FX-51
500GB (250 x 2) Western digital in RAID 0
Radeon X800
Danger Den water cooling system.

So far I've done...

I got the case on ebay for $10.00 plus S/H.





Originally I painted the case black.






orborder=0>

But then thought it would be cool to go with the molten lava "Hell" look, so I added red too. It dried a lot darker then pictured here.









I then decided to make the face of the case all plexi. Thisder=0>

I will be taking apart this 'flame lantern that I got at Spencer's and incorporating it to the inside. Giving it the appearance of fire in the case.

And here's some more supplies. Cathodes, LED's and case feet.

*Edit* I don't know why it's making doubles but I sure am glad that it is and that I'm not the one losing my mind reading the same sentence two times...

Looking good. I'm not sure why people were on your case about the pictures before. Dial up users should really stop whining, I went back to 56k for the last couple of weeks and viewed the forums just fine, even with big pictures in the posts and not as thumbnails.

Either way, I like the way it's turning out. Looks like you've got a good budget ... A64 and 500GB of Raid0 goodness. Awesome, are you going to be doing any lighting other than the flame lamp thing?

If I were you I'd add some of the diamond plate that you have on the inside of the case to the outside. All that red/black color is not that friendly when by itself but I think that with the addition of a little metal trim or something the contrast will really make the case that much better. Other than the slight lack of contrast I do like the paint job.

Keep it up.

I don't know why you just don't follow what AntiM said and use the "additional files" section. The site automatically resizes them, and shows up as thumbnails. GK has also mentioned it a few time and isn't real happy with it...Slick hardware but a crappy case IMO...
