Project: LEXA

Long time, no seeing ;) Still looking better! Respect for the huge amounts of time you invest in it.

heh....i cant wait to see your sketches! glad i could stir some ideas

Thanks for your comments guys. I really appreciate it.

I am still finalising the sketches and have a few more designs I want to sketch up before I post my sketches.

Well the update I made yesterday with my sketches is gone. I will have to post them again later.

Well I found the uploaded image of my sketches so here it is:

From left to right.

Option 1:
Basic cut out of the letters, may replace cut parts with black mesh, tie it in with the rest of the case.

Option 2:
Same as option one but with a line running parallel with the flow of the letters.

Option 3:
Completely different from the first two. The rectangle in the top left corner that reads "Project:" will actually be a piece of etched green plexi indented into a cut made into the cooler so it sits flat. The letters will be cut out in the same fashion as the others.

I am kinda leaning towards the third option. A bit more challenging and holds more physical appeal.

Also I found out what font NZXT use for their products (thanks to the NZXT forums), it's Tahoma Bold. I will be using this font for the text on the cooler mod.

Let me know what you think. Especially you Sean. If you guys have ideas post them up and I will have a look.

maybe number 3 with some wiiiiiide letters?
and looks goooood:D

awesome man i'm glad to see an update :) I'm really excited for what this thing's gonna turn out to be!
Keep it up!!

Yeah I should have put a not saying that those sketches were only a mock up done in class, hence the crookedness lol. I will make something quick up in word and import a print screen shot.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Here is what I came up with. I think this will look quite effective. Just picture the letters in the green white not black. I could make the other letters black also by using some black mesh behind the cuts. I will see what it looks like without mesh before I make my mind up.

What do you guys think?

It has just come to my attention that if I cut out the 'A' in LEXA the center piece will have no where to sit. I will be inlaying the letter cuts with black mesh. This will also tie the chrome cooler into the rest of the case design.
