wow, that was a fast intro, but looks really nice

[Custom]

Nice this looking great so far.

[MAC]

dude, your paint job is amazing... looks like its coming along fast, I can't wait to see it done! keep up the good work.

[Kumo]

Nice concept, and agree a good paintwork.

Where are the opening for the optical units, buttons, etc...?

Hey, great job so far; it's nice to see that I'm not the only one modding an XQPACK. If I might offer a word of advice, get rid of that power supply. Yes, it looks shiny and fits really nice into the case, however, when making it, they screwed up the voltage/amperage levels, making it very dangerous. I had mine for about a month, then I heard some crackling and BOOM, smoke everywhere. The inside of it was completely fried. I am not the only one who has experienced this problem either; it's all over the boards on Newegg. You can actually fit some pretty big power supplies into that thing, which would be my suggestion on what to do. It's a flimsy, unsafe, cheap power supply that comes with the case, but other than looking shiny, it's not that good. But, I must say, that is a great looking outer shell; only wish you would have explained to us a bit more on what exactly you did. If I may ask, what material is that you're using to make the rocky structure on the outside of the case, as well, is it durable? Good luck on the rest of the project, as well as whatever else you might do.

Best regards,

buttons and optical devices are mounted on the front of my mod, but this part is already in planning and not done yet

very good modelling skils
the texture is just great :D

[DaveW]

Very nice looking case. It's an interesting concept, and i like the paintjob. I wasn't sure where you were going when i saw it covered in foam, but i like the result. Can't wait to see where this one goes.

I think it looks like a metorite. The electric yellow could be toned down a bit. Unless you have more yellow parts.

Wicked foam job man!

[Shikimaru]

very interesting, looking too see how this develops
