Hello all, my names Stephen but most people call me "Cooper". I recently found your forums and have been in complete awe of your communities feedback and works of art that have been produced here. This has just become more looked at than my homepage.
I have two projects in the works and I'll be more than happy to post pics ASAP, right now im in the process of moving and I have no idea where the hell I put my digital camera. So if you don't mind I'll give a little description to provide a little "feel" for what's going on with them until that time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Project: Autobot
Yes, a transformers themed project. The 750w Corsair power supply will be modded and formed to resemble the "Allspark" cube, however the top section will be clear. The PS will also have a few more LED's for extra flavor added inside so people can see it "working", possibly blinking LEDS.
The case will be as close to the Blue color that Optimus Prime sports in the movie. The front will be motorized with a 3D Autobot symbol on the front panel. The symbol will actually "transform" and open up to reveal the DVD-ROM with the help of 3 actuators. ( Still being developed)
The Nvidia SLI system is currently air cooled, but I am working on a sleek water cooled system with some pretty fancy artwork engraved onto the blocks themselve and some pretty trick piping.
There's alot more to be done and more idea come every day, this case will take quite some time to finish, right now it's still bare metal with welds and rivets holds some of the fab parts togather. The exact paint scheme I still have not decided upon. Optimus has a flame paintjob in the movies but I personally cannot stand flame paint jobs... almost everyone has them nowadays. Still trying to decide.
Much more to come on this one.

Project: Disciple
This case is still being drawn out and I just found out about google sketchup 6 (love it!). But the plans so far is a Pearl white and deep royal blue case with a swivel out front panel. The front half of the cast will be the blue, with a 3D-Imbedded Cross modded into the front panel. It will be lit up with a yellowish/gold light. I want it to "glow" more than actually light up tho. The side panels will actually be a stained glass insert of "the last supper", which will also be lighted. It will light up but, you will not be able to see into the case. The bottom will have the LED footpegs that will glow to match the cross on the front panel. There will also be various scripts taken from the bible and carved intot he side of the case in cursive writting and I'm still not sure if I will have it glow or just be etched into acrylic or what. still planning..
--------------------------------------------------------------
I look forward to sharing my work as I get more completed. My main focus is the Autobot case right now. I love to design cases, I went Auburn University on an art scholorship, I have almost 2 sketchpads full of case drawings and ideas and I'm always thinking up new stuff. As odd as it may sound, I'm almost 26 years old and this is what I want to do for a living....either that or be a pole at a stripclub... meh..
