Good job. Nice yellow paint. One cristism though your cuts for your windows look a bit ruff maybe use a file to straighten the edges up. Other wise nice job.

a cool effect you could have done for the side window would of been to make a 1/4 inch slot, then a 1/2 inch slot, then a 1 inch slot, 2 inch, 4 inch, and then reverse

Hmm...i don't think the cuts look too bad. A simple and efficient design, though perhaps the top window isn't in the best place-who wants to see the drive bays?

In the other thread, people were just being picky. Don't let them get you down-you're off to a good start here. In fact, i'd say your setting yourself up for a great mod for next time, now you have some techniques and practice under your belt.

The paintjob's pretty sweet, if a little heavy on the front panel by the looks of things-it's a real shame you didn't get that floppy drive button btw.

The wiring job on the inside could be improved-getting rounded IDE cables for example, can make a huge difference.

Other than those pointers, your on the right track.

Everyone has their own tastes. I've only completed 2 mods, one of which was bright pink and one which was purple. Interestingly, neither of these were for me...i guess i work faster for other people.

FYI: I never use my dremel to cut the side panels unles it is a small hole. The jigsaw works better for me and leaves a cleaner cut _without_ using tons of those cutoff wheels.

Meh its his case let him paint it any colour he wants. I do agree though I personaly dont like the color scheme. One thing I see though is that you have alot of orange peel all over your case :(

Orange peel as in the texture is like that of an orange (eg lumpy) :p

I think it looks ok, the light blue is horrible but i think it works well when the case is light up as it helps enhance the colours.

Good job :D
