Dominion
Well guys I thought I would finally post as I have been a lurker here for some time. All of you have some pretty mad skills. This is what i have been working on. The case started out as a stock silver chieftec matrix series tower. I then ordered the door with the side window as I didnt have the time to cut one. It stayed like that for some months. Then the spark hit me. After many weeks of chain smoking, enough obscenity from cutting hands and spilt paint, and some time spent in local junk yards this waht we finished with(minus the front which is still drying). It is kinda of a tribute to cars/truckdrivers. There are accents on it that appeal to both. MY father was a mechanic most of his life , therefore i was around all sorts of vehicles my whole life. The system isnt that great as far as hardware specs but it gets the job done as far as I am needing it to.

Re: Dominion
It's big, isn't it?
I like the blue, and the CF, but I'm not sure about the right side window. What do you see through it? Drive cages? :think:
How about the front panel, are you going to replace it?

Re: Dominion
yeha the front panel is still in the shop drying. THe only thing you can see through that side window is the amd lettering and some light thats about it. And yes it is big but i need the room to house the hdd's and such. This is the media server/my personal gaming system for the home. The paint is akenzo noble viper blue.
