Lightbulb operation modding attempt 1

Alright ive been here at pimprig for a couple months or so now, and ive read countless worklogs and well ive decided that with my new computer slowly but surly coming in ill mod my new case as well. As it will take about 5 months for me to get my whole new computer i decided to order the case first and mod it to what i like and that way it looks all nifty and stuff.


Thats the front of the case i like how it has the "swirl" type of effect to it,.


Thats the front and the side the mobo is on I plan on just cutting a logo of one of my favorit bands into that side
That will be the image cut into the side of the panell


backside, i love where the psu is placed on this case, and i love how theres 2 80mm fan spots at the top, well insted of 2 80's ill be putting 1 120 there

Well as of right now, I am planning on NOT putting a acrlic window in the side because i havent read much on how to do that right now but i most likly will with some etching on it or somthing,

I Plan to paint this case all black on the outside and try to get a mirror effect off of it, ive read tips from mnpctech and all you guys on painting an di think i got that under control.

i plan on painting the inside a Camaro Blue as they call it just because well i think a blue inside with blue lighting might look pimped out, I also plan on sleeving my wires with this tubing its see through and stuff we have at work and i think that may make it look better.

Due to size of the case i had to tilt the camera sideways so bare with me, But the major problem i have encountered so far is the fact that there is soo much room that alot of hot air is gonna get traped in it ill post pictures later of what i plan on doing about this because i think i have found several key spots were air is gonna get stoped and i have a way to fix it

Sorry for the grammer or spelling my highschool education sucked and any tips advice anything let me know! please

You're gonna cut that into the panel? It'll be difficult so take your time. If you screw up, you can't make the panel reappear. Also, the Old English "S" and "D" will be the most difficult.

Well actually he could fill back in the metal he cut out. Although he would have to spend a ton of time using a welder a grinder and body filler. But even if he does cut it out smoothing his cuts out adding a window will be difficult.

Love SocialD.


High school seemed like such a blur,
I
didn't have much interest in sports or
School elections.
And in class I dreamed all day,
About a rock'n'roll weekend.

I WANT THAT CASE!!! where did you get it from?

EDIT: Oh as for the spelling and grammer...use google or dictionary.com for misspellings..or just go into google and type in definetheword goes here)..or just type in the word and google will correct it for you.

Another tip, dont try and type so like your in a conversation with somone...Its one of the things ive learned while I was here..

Pay attention to how other people type and stuff..and you'll get the hang of things.
