It really is ugly lol, i was thinking of involving it in my toolbox mod but im not sure yet as im gonna have to put the toolbox on the backburner i think.

so i could probably spray it but what colour and are there any other options?

Thanks, Olly

On another note ive been thinking about my toolbox mod, ive decided im going to make a start i should be going out today and buying a few provisions. I think for the theme im going to go for like a swat thing by this i mean special weapons and tactics/armed response or what ever you want to call it lol i have a few ideas regarding peripherals (sp :neutral: ), basically it should look like a mobile command unit, im going to include things like a webcam and possibly a skype phone but all within the machine. im also thinking of using diamond or checker plate to line various parts. all the components will be micro atx and what not but ive not decided on which ones as of yet, im going to construct a box to go within the toolbox out of plexiglass to mount all the components as it will be easier to work with as a frame, the monitor will be a 8 or 9 inch possibly bigger touchscreen as ive managed to find some that wont make my trousers fall down when the cash is ripped from my pockets, this will be mounted in the lid along with the fan controller and webcam along with a few other bits and bobs.

for the colour i think ill be going with a stealthy matt black.

let me know what you think of my ideas constructive critisism is always welcome as is help which no doubt ill be needing alot of :)

i will post a picture of the toolbox later on today and possibly tonight you may see some pictures of the first cuts.

god typing with an on screen kb is hard work the good news is my g15 should be with me thursday which is good as ive got alot of catching up to do on bf2 :twisted:

The drawers on the front will be coming out i thought about using them but then decided against it the front will eventually be covered by alu checker plate which will conceal the cd drive and other various parts i decide to slap in there.

as you can see the lid should just be deep enough to hold a skinny monitor and other parts after some modifications i just need to find a nice tidy route for the leads but all in good time...

the clasp for the padlock will be cut off and replaced with a propper barrel lock after all this machine will contain important mission information and we cant any old so and so peeking now can we ohhh nooo :p.
To make the system accessible ill be cutting out the back of the box and also the inner part of the top when i have all the measurements worked out ill replace the inner top of the tray with checker plate.
The components will be housed in plexiglass my main reason for this choice is that its aesthetically pleasing more than anything else also easier to work with.

That about wraps it up so far when get to work i wil start a topic in the worklogs.

please let me know what you think.

Thanks, Olly

Oh, well then you can resize it with Imageshack. Would be a bit easier to look at if you do that :)
