So I now have a plan started for The cosmos case i picked up. And am working in Sketchup to plan it out.
So far this is what I have.

The purple will be this color

and the black paint will be this
http://autoaircolors.com/products/paint/series4600/images/4615_Black_lg.jpg
The handles will be done in flat black, and all the mesh, (not all can be seen in the sketchup) will be the same purple as the interior. The drive cages will be made from plexiglass, and if i do get sponsored will be places that the companies logos can be displayed.

Then got to the front... I decided to re use the mesh from the side panel.

So after some bending and trimming

Thanks for looking... more to come soon, just waiting on a few parts... My step dad works at a machine shop, so i might be able to get the side panel done with a laser cutter. lol...

I reached out to them as well, and was told by the self-proclaimed "King (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26666)" that they're not doing anything.

I was told the same thing over a month ago.
You're gonna like that purple. Some advice.. Unless you're using sealer dark under that black, you might want to reconsider. The 4600 series is a candy. Which means that it's VERY transparent. Check out the 4702 (or the black that wicked makes) for something that's gonna cover real nice.

I'll definatly do that, thanks!

So guys, I need some input. For the fan holes I was going to use my initals as a grill (carved into the plexi) Which logo do you think looks better?

Those are just examples, but if anyone comes up with a better one i'll be happy to put it on there.
