And, as i promised, the paint job:
I'll need two half screws and the Dremel vise started to work, very nice:
See you soon with more news...
Pedro Torres
Excellent work my friend. I would have never thought of hanging the case with string--damn now I see even more fabrication work in my immediate future!
This thread delivers!
+rep
It's nice with strings because you can put the case on the height you want to work and becomes very confortable the painting job.Quote:

Thanks for visiting,
Pedro Torres.
I'm shooting for starting in mid March--getting all my supplies together right now.
It is a good idea to do a scketh of your project and organize supplies to the job. Do not forget to buy tape of many kinds, you'll need it ! ;)Quote:

Well, i do not resist and did a small test with some light to see if the paint really works and, look at that thing:
I am really impressed, it pumps lights everywhere and it's just 2 CC and i'll use 4 UV CC...
See you soon with more nice updates,
Pedro Torres.
Great colors!
I look from my desolate wasteland in Wisconsin (where the temps are still near zero F) to your lush jungle backdrop, and i think. How big are the mosquitoes? They die every year up here, but Manny, Manny. they could probably eat a cat down by you.
This mod is frickin' ridiculous!
i wan't to but i cant even give you +rep anymore.
Just consider it a Preemptive +rep
Maz, I feel your pain. -6 F here right now, and the wind is blowing something fierce (which isn't anything new). Dunno about your neck of the woods, but we're supposed to be around 40 above by the weekend.Quote:

Folks,
Try watching this case tomorrow, i'll post the bigger update before the first chapter ends friday. Yeah, that's right, will be a second chapter on this. I already order a lot of news to do other larger update on this case. I really want to do the best case i can to participate on 2007 CM WW contest at the end of the year.
The second part starts 18.02.2007 and consists on repaint the case, add some news and do a professional job on font, includind removing this temporary paint and, also, doing a lot of finishings works.
Tomorrow i'll post the biggest update since the beggining of this project, before the D day.
First the photos...
1. The case will be mounted friday.
2. This will be the end of first chapter, because, i've decided to do another part giving this case a professional look and finishing job.
3. I won a really nice sponsor reservoir from neptuno.com.br and other from an american strore that will figurate on this case on chapter two.
4. Today i've some problems with reservoir conector and tomorrow i'll do the WC aquagate-viva mod and mount the ET on it's new home.
5. I've soft sanded the case to apply another paint coat and will polish it to give an extra bright tomorrow too.
6. Put the holder on top panel and tomorrow i'll do an texture painting, fix it and iluinate the Et over the case.
7. I'll do a temporary switch while those bulgin ones do not arrives here...
8. The font wins a analog termometer display i''ll put it on and remove the paint i did on font in the second chapter of this mod.
9. Also, all the case will get a professional cable sleeving, including font and all his conectors.
9. Did some screws and other works preparing for tomorrow jobs...
10. I'll work on lights when go mount the case friday.
11. I'll redo the 3D plexi ET face on transparent plexi to do not interfere on inside colors i got to case. It's really nice.
I have a lawer work tomorrow but i'll finish it at noon,
See you tomorrow witch the bigger update since begining...
Pedro Torres.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.. Awesome work Pedro!
ya great stuff that case is BRIGHT! wow. i'm not sure if someone has asked but what is that drink you keep taking pictures with?!?!
My guess would be cachaca. Here's what Diamond David Lee Roth has to say about this drink:
They make this drink in Brazil Called cachaca. It's sugar cane alcohol. Costs 35 cents a quart. One quart of that stuff and you see God. Two quarts and you grow a pair of tight pants and an electric guitar!
It's not cachaça, it's herbalife tea :p , but, cachaça is very good for ideias... I'll talk about cachaça tomorrow, i have the best cachaça from Brazil to show for you ! (just a pic)
Tomorrow i'll be back with the big one post, the first part of mod is almost done !
I'm going to bed now, because, i've got too much tired !
See you folks and sorry do not coment nothing of your posts, what i can say now is Thank you very much to everybody.
Pedro Torres.
Just do what you're doing; I think we'll manage, and be happy about it!Quote:

Damn! You've been busy! I love the colors and lights, very original ideas there. What was the wire taped to the hard-drive for? An LED?

And, it's nice..
Dude, it's not cachaça, but my state has the best one, it's called Pitú Gold. And it's mostly exported to Califórnia and Russia. But the best brazilian cachaça is called Ypióca Ouro with is more like a liquor than other thing and is very soft to drink, dispite it's 33% of alchoolic.Quote:

Thanks for you kindly coments, hope you liked the case.
Thank you Maz, you aways right. The case pumps lights everywhere, now it's time to do some finishing job to start really the second chapter of case.Quote:
