Default theme Thursday

Well Im starting another project. It will be based off of my favorite band Thursday. Expect to see a 1984 style. I dont really plan on getting too political with it but rather keep it with the dark style. I plan on getting some custom painting done on the case as well as some etching on the window. Im probably going to order some more leds from dragonmods to help brighten the inside. The swallow in my sig will probably go on the window. Black an white will be the colors for this, dont expect blue uv crap thrown about in here... Well the case is on the way so updates should come as soon as next week.

Thursday is such a good band, you should etch the dove on the side of the case.

The case is on the way. The window will be receiving a full etch of the falling dove.


Pinstriping will be done on the case as well as some hand painting. Im looking forward to getting the black and white theme down.

The last thing I ordered came at 9 oclock this morning. The guy was all talkative. I could barely stand up...

Apple knows how to make one nice keyboard. Too bad it doesnt light up. I can fix that.

Ok so apple didnt have a problem with my gift visa card. Xoxide had a hiccup, I had to call them and then they verified the order. Newegg could get authorization so guess what they did....

I order the motherboard on saturday and didnt worry about it. Well I see wednesday that it didnt go through and they tried to charge the card aboue 25 times from saturday-tuesday. So I give them a call and they say they will call my bank, get it verified and everything will be ok. The guy even said he would upgrade my shipping to next day. Thats all great. I get a call today from them saying that they still cannot get the funds off of my card. Im pissed. I call my bank up and find that they charged me a dollar processing fee due to newegg's continual proccessing program. So now I have $180 on a stupid gift card that worked other places but oh no, not newegg (I used one of these before and it worked without a hitch). My bill was $185.32 I wonder why they couldnt process my order. So Im pissed. Not only do I not have a motherboard coming my way but I have to find a way to use this stupid credit card on this project. The rest of the parts were coming from newegg so what now. I cant simply take the money off because that is impossible and putting money on the card would serve no purpose. WTF... anyone have any ideas on what I should do?

Heh, the lady from newegg whom I called said "You should use a different credit card."


Oh yeah, my keyboard and case kick ass. Im getting lyrics painted on the side panel today after my hair cut.

I still think it look like a raven, but you etched it, still looks cool.

I dont know what OS your going to run, but use these drivers if you run linux on that machine. Otherwise your xserver will freak out. My old man got that card for his machine and we couldnt even get vesa working with it. That driver I linked works great though...Just a FYI.

Looks like a sweet build, PB.
