Project: Rapture

[D3athP3nalty]

Since im a first time poster/modder but long time reader, I'm going to keep the talking down to a minimum.
This theme is based build is based off of Bioshock.
The very, very basic look should look something like this:

As well, this was my first time to play with google's free CAD program, so its not perfect, but it gives you an overall look.

Heres some more angle's:

Now the big kicker is that this system i going to "water cooled" in a extremely different way.
I'm going to wait until later before I tell you guys what that plan is.

Currently I'm waiting until my supplies come in from the mail. :sigh:

Some ideas of mine for the overall theme of the case:
*Very grungy/rusty/dirty looking.
*Blood splatter/ smears
*A plasmid needle
*A figure of Mr.Bubbles Himself (Big Daddy)

I encourage anyone to please feel free and post their thoughts/ideas for the case.

p.s. Sorry for the horrible grammar and spelling... hooked on phonics never worked.

While getting tired of waiting I purchase a new Flex Shaft for my Dremel. Hopefully this will help things.

I kinda forgot to mention this but I would really like to thank Puget Systems for the inspiration. This build is based mostly on their project that has created many ideas.
Just to make it Clear, I'm doing the same basic mod, but with a theme.

Good thing I live about 3 min's from the hardware store, I picked up some primer and paint for the base color or the PSU.

I hope the paint can give the texterd look I am looking for. Wish me luck.

Sorry admins for the 6 posts in a row. I'm not really trying to get my post count up, I'm just copying my posts from another mod site and I figured it would be the easiest thing to do. ;)

Welcome to TBCS. Nice theme; in fact, we even have another mod going on that's themed off Bioshock. Cool dude.

Oh, and it's:

Hooked on foniks never dun me good. Or something like that.

You don't need to worry about multiple posts in a row in _your_ worklog ;).
