I like the frosted motherboard cover.

[bubbe]

Thanks!!!:D

[maximan1]

OMG OMG OMG This is awsome thats a great idea with the motherboard and CD covers I never would have thought of it! Too bad my case is too small for that :(.

[bubbe]

Thanks! :D
what case do u have???

[tybrenis]

Great job on the acrylic covers, I did something similar with my case. I really like the simple, clean look.

[AKA_RA]

the motherboard cover reminds me of the one defyant did for one of his HP cases. it really gives a nice clean look to the inside of the case, almost too clean in fact ;)

Nice plexi work man, looks good. Mabey if you could show us how you did it that would be nice.

[bubbe]

My camera was on hospital that day so i coudent photo:(

[Basjuh]

nice, nice!
i really like it, but does your motherboard has onboard-video ?
otherwise i miss the gap for the videocard in the plexi :P

[Rankenphile]

The plex looks good, but it looks like the frosting is a bit softer on the edges than in the center, and the lines only go one direction (in a side-to-side arc). You may want to to turn the piece sideways and hit it again with a light sandpaper, going against the previous grain direction to create a more uniform look, especially along the edges. Very nice work, though, I can't wait to see how the rest turns out!

[Aero]

yeah, I'd say hit it with some 220 grit on that power sander and that should even it out quickly. Or just do it with a sanding block around the edges and it a different direction like Ranken said.
