This is my first post in these forums (which I just found the other day) and I want to first off apologize, I did not know I was taking the name of a Mod. The Pk after my name stands for Parkour (not player killer as I have been told it often means) an for information on parkour or anything else I will be happy to answer!

I am an active Traceur, freerunner, martial artist, gymnast, acrobat, I run track, lift weights, play paintball and WoW and of couse I'm a tech nerd. I love to move and fool around with computers. My project is called flow because in Parkour/Freerunning flow is often used to describe many types of fluid movement over and around objects. This project is about me so i want to implement all parts of my life into the design.

I used to be a hobbiest with miniatures and models (Warhammer) so I have skill in alot of the things used plus i am pretty good with computers and making things. I am on a low budget but my dad has a machine shop ( and multiple dremel tools, soldering irons ect) and alot of raw materials.

So far i have a wide range of Ideas but i will not be getting my computer back (problems beyond my expertise) until tommorow. I will take pictures then and throw out some ideas

Also If they are in I will be installing my new graphics card and PSU Tommorow (both of which have LED fans).

Thanks, i just got in my Graphics card (BFG 7800 GTS (best Agp Card on the market (yes I run AGP))) and my PSU (Xion Supernova to run BFG). The PSU gave me a scare. I forgot it had to be plugged in to the mobo to run and I really did not want RMA.

the powersupply looks really nice. It almost looks like blueing that you would see on an older gun barrel. I thought it would be darker but it will still look good (if not better) in my case.

If I have a snow day tommorow I will definately show instalation, if not I can only promise a maybe.

So far I really want to incorporate my katana into the design and replace my side window grill

For the katana i was thinking I could make a stand and attach it to the top of the CPU. But this could be challenging to make the stand look like an actual part of the case.

I want to replace my side grill because it is boring and I dont like seeing my fan all of the time. I was thinking of making a stainless steel grill with a thunderstrike etching so my fan lights (which recently died :down: ) only show through the etching and around the rim for ventilation.
