Basically, you were right. I guess the technical terms you're looking for are "raised" and "recessed."Quote:

Maybe just glue on aluminum strips? hmm...Quote:

ok...here's my update for the day...
sooooooooo, I came home with a little bit of paint today...
I was torn because I had the choice between that green (grass green) and this OTHER green that looked like radioactive craziness...but it was high heat engine paint or something and I wasn't sure how it would do on plastic. ok ok, I'm just making excuses because I wish I would have gotten the other green. But this one is nice too. Anyway...PICTURES!
First step, disassemble...Check!
Second step, Prime.......Check!
Third step, make it colorful..........Check!
that green is after one coat...I think the humidity is right around 100% (it feels like swimming when you step outside) so this painting thing is going to take awhile...I have to bring it inside to dry so we have a stinky house right now. Well I think that's it for today...hopefully I'll get some cutting done for the rear fan tomorrow and I STILL need to decide what to do with that old video card fan... (suggestions are welcome *hint hint*)
OH, almost forgot...I found these wheels lying around the house. Now to attach them somehow...
All done!
This is looking hella cool! Keep it up!
:) Thanks bro! I appreciate the support! My problem is that I keep staying up past midnight messing around with this, but then have to get up at 5am for PT. I think it's slowly killing me ;)
love what you have done with this mod and must say I like your personal text:
"cooler than the other side of the pillow"
you know...that's the best part of going to sleep...the cool side of the pillow.Quote:
