Apex Techie Wannabe
Question The Pimp Mobile

This is my first project of sorts on a computer at least... Most (All) Of my previous works have been on councels but enough of that time to get to what you guys want to hear...

The "victim" is my Dell Poweredge 4200 Server... I just want the case. Reason being is that its huge, I can fit water cooling AND phase changing! :-)

Heres my Idea...
Think Cadillac!
The interior of the Case is going to be Gold, either a airbrushed gold, or an electroplated gold.
The exterior of the Case is going to be a dark green w/ ghost flames.
Heres whats making it diffrent,
I plan on Installing Spinner RC Car rims/wheels after they are electroplated, these will have hydrolics (Before you ask I have been trained in the proper intallation and use of hydros)
And chasing lights across the bottom of the case (All four sides, green LEDs)

Now I have a few questions (Once I get my digi camera back from the shop I'll show you guys some pics)...

The Front of the Case has three large fans, Approx 3 in. In dia, what kind of grill should I use for them? I was thinking of fiberglassing the front of the case and building a custom "Caddy" Grill for the speakers, or takeing some old speakers (3 and a halfs) and removing the backing from them (Fiberglass them for strength) and cut some slats into them to allow airflow. Any input will be appreciated, Thank you in advance.
(Whoo First post from me... Ack got sidetracked again...)

Kick back and enjoy the show....its gona be a Good One.....

When you have some time............Check these saweet pimp links out.. And if your going to paint flames with a yellow or gold interior i would suggest making the flames Purple or an emerald green.. im not sure what color green you where talking about for the extior but emerald metalic green would look sharp..
just made some quick concept drawings..

and one with a window..

so yeah i think that would look cool

Thanks for the Ideas, I was thinking of a green like that but a wee bit darker. What program do you use to make those designs?
