WEB mod

[M@X@ CASE - freaks]

I just got an idea. Take some cheap case, paint it in BLACK (whole case), put a plexi on (etch spider web all across it), and paint it over the top side of that case. Put 2 Pairs of white neons, and watch the etching GLOW. I wanted to put few 80 x 80 blue coolers, but I think that would ruin the whole picture. The only glowing part should be neons, and that should rock....

Sounds easy enough. Why not give it shot? Get a 10 dollar case off of newegg, 5 dollar spray paint at your local hardware store, and find a retailer for plexi/acrylic. Well of course you would have to get an etcher too... but you can get a dremel etcher for like 20 bucks. Probably cost around 80 or less all together.

I know where i can get laser etching, so that would be no problem. The only problem is getting few white neons

[Redundant]

Get LEDs instead of CCFLs as they won't produce heat and no inverter is needed; only a few resisters. (People don't use neons: it's either CCFL* or LEDs)

i ment CCFL. not neons. It flipped over my mind. we call them neons here. Sorry...

If you are going for the minimalist white/black look, it might be nice to mount some led's in the front of the case behind the bevel, could be a nice look...

no. actualy I wanted it to be ALL BLACk. I would like to paint it in the darkest shade of black I can find. And paint 1 big net Across Top and right hand side panel. On the left panel I want to put plexi with etched Spider Web, and that is all. So, now I am thinking about Light effects. I want etching to glow, and I don't know shoul I put couple of CCFL or just a few LED's. Tips Anyone?

I bought white cold cathodes at Xoxide, though if you're in Serbia, I don't really know.

I will see what I can do, but I'll find them.

BTW, I couldn't find small CCFLs. only big ones. I know that somewhere out there I can find smaller than 30 cm. I heard there are bout 10 cm long CCFLs.
