Talking Project: Battle Angel

Here is a project I have been working on...

Parts: Beantech clear acrylic case, Asus A7N8X (nforce2) motherboard, Athlon XP 2400+, 1 GB DDR400 RAM, Dynatron Copper HSF, Gainward GF4 Ti4200 128MB Video Card, Plextor 16/10/40 CDRW, 30GB Maxtor ATA100 7200RPM hard drive in a Beantech Data Castle enclosure, Antec 400W PSU, 3 quad blue led fans, 4 blue cold cathodes, chrome frozencpu fan grills...

I still have blue elwire and appliques to put on it. The object of the case is to REALLY stand out at lanparties... =]

The cathodes and elwire will be switchable by push buttons mounted on the rear of the case. I really like the way the position of the cathods turned out. They are slanted back and outward. They BARELY fit like that and I actually broke one of them while attempting to find a good placement. More pics later...

Where is it? All I see is a CD, HD Cooler, and some fans floating around.

That looks sweet. I've made up my mind. My next one will be a custom acrylic case.

Arrgg !

Awsome work GK.

I am still waiting on those Shuttle FS51 mobos to become available at a decent price so I can build my small form factor LAN rig in acrylic. Current price is $170 and I have only found one reseller for them.

Of course, if the mobo from the Shuttle SS41G becomes available first, I'll go AMD instead of Intel and save some cash.

A pyramid lighted fan controller in blue would look trick. Neon blue mesh sleeving on the fan and cathode wires would look good as well.

Oh! Get some blue window tint for panels! Otherwise, you want something blue? There is that latest review on that vantec thingy with the four knobs (I don't know why I all of a sudden can't remember the name of it).

Guess they won't need any lights in the room with that thing going! Don't think I could stand that much light coming from my computer...because there's nothing shielding the direct light from the LED's and CC's.
