Ideas for a summer-time project

[Randy]

So I am planning on doing my first mod over the summer and have started to throw some ideas around.

I want to theme the case around a Bacardi cap:

I am thinking though of inverting the two colors, so that the red bat can shine out a bit more, this is what I have come up with so far on SketchUp:

I think I'll probably go with red plexi for the whole thing and paint on the black.
Not sure how to cool it, I am willing to try anything and experiment around some, fans/water/or pull apart a few minifridges.

I want to try my hand at a little bit of overclocking with this too, and right now I am willing to try almost anything for the fun of it.

Any opinions/suggestions/input in general is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks

Thats an interesting design. I like the idea. Like the color scheme, too. If you dont want to mess up the logo/image, then it seems to me that watercooling would be the best idea, probably mount a 240 or 360 rad on the top of the case and have 1 or 2 fans exhausting air out the back. just a thought.

yeah I wanted to invert the colors so that the bat can shine out more. Still not sure about the cooling, I am not too good with this stuff, and I am going to look at all options so I make a safe decision.

Looks like a great Idea to me.

Hmm I think I am going to throw around the idea of maybe doing a Lotus themed case instead, I have always loved those cars.

I think the Bacardi idea is good.. why not just go with a plain black case, and cut out the bat, then use red plexi to fill it in? That way you've got the windows to see into the case and show off the guts. :)

A lotus theme could be interesting too though.. I'm not a big fan of the yellow and green though, so I'm not sure how I would color it.

I was planning on using red plexiglass as is and painting on the black :p

Yeah I'm not too sure how I would color it either, green and yellow are fun, but I don't want it to turn into a Packers case.
