Sailormoon! :D the front panel (or the non existing one) looks a little ghetto but the side panel is great :D

[Cardan]

nice side pannel but the rest looks ghetto.

[Rachel]

I was thinking the same. My favorite ghetto thing about it is that fan thats hanging there kind of crooked. But I love the side panel almost as much as I like Sailor moon, which is ALOT. It's a very nice theme which brings me to my next question. You're a girl right? Oh and it looks like you gave up mid mod. You should paint the reat of the case to finish it up. You should put Luna on the front with the logo that would be sweet. ;)

ok so its not much of a 'mod' it was more of a paint job! thanks for the suggestions, i will def. be painting the rest of the case to match the sailor moon side... it was originally a crappy 50dollar case and i didnt like the way it looked at me so i torn off its face..jk, the front was ugly so i replaced it with plexi and added the fan and some fan switchs... 'ghetto'??? an insult or just plain telling me it looks a little rough.. either way suggestions on what to do with it would be much appreciated!

btw im a guy, rachel! im sorry, but i cant proclaim an undieing love for SM, just that i saw a pic like it and thought it would look cool painted on the side of a case...

[Rachel]

Ghetto is just telling you it looks a little rough and it needs some work. Now that you mentioned it I do see the Plexi. It would look better if you pushed the drives back a little more into the case so thery are even with the plexi. Also painting the front wouldn't be a bad idea. I'll find you a nice picture of Luna since you never saw the show.

Sorry. I just guessed you where a girl since it was such a girly show. Nice case though.

[Zeus]

how about tinting the plexi. I always like smoke colored plexi

[Xato]

or you could atleast give your case a spray... grey = bleff

[Frakk]

you could put a cut-out metal plate under the plexi to cover those ugly holes and empty drivebays in the front. you would also have a better surface to paint and it would definetly look a lot better.

[inspiredbyasphalt]

thanks for all the suggestions, currently painting top of case and front... and i thnk that pic of luna will come in handy too thanks rachel!

[Cymae]

you could paint that top panel blue to match the side panel, and perhaps find some SM figurines and glue them into a fighting pose? just an idea ^_^

[Rachel]

I have some of those.... Yea I know....

[inspiredbyasphalt]

hey yeah that would look cool, not so sure about the mobility of the comp then thou! but im thinking of getting a smaller computer to lug around lans or whatever... anyway thanks for all the ideas!

[Cymae]

well im not sayin 30cm dolls, just if you have some small figurines...that wouldnt exactly hindetr the mobility now would it..could even velcro them on, and take em off if needed ;)

[Xato]

LOL.
Velcro...

But yeh, you could easily make them removable. Attach them using a thumbscrew from the inside of your case. They'd be easy enough to port after that.

are you suggesting he screw the dolls?

[Xbrid]

are you suggesting he screw the dolls?

:eek:


lol :D :D :D

[Xato]

Whatever floats your boat, Zues.

[inspiredbyasphalt]

yeah that sounds like a better idea! thanks... not so sure about screwing them, but removable fingurines sounds like a cool idea

[Xato]

U could even make them magnetic if you like... i just think that velco would be rather untidy. As it leaves a permanent protrusion on your case in the form of some fluffy fabric.
Embedding magnets into the figurines feet would probly be the best idea.
Though... I cant remember what computer cases are made of and whether they are magnetic or not...

[Xbrid]

just mount another magnet on the other side of the case if the case isn't magnetic.

[DR_K13]

Ghetto, Ill give you Tree Fitty

[Cymae]

i was kidding, kidding! XD
