Project: Unnamed

Yeah. I was actually thinking about making the dark blue less abundant and putting a very obvious bright silver feature.

Bondo will be used to help smooth out some of the "sharp" lines on the front and also fill the holes.

That 100$ won't all go to materials, in fact, I think very little of it will.


I have a bad disease where if I have money, it disappears quickly.


Anywho, I hope that I might be able to come up with a paint scheme. I've been thinking black with a silver feature and dark blue detail.

I know how you feel. I got the same problem here.

How good are you at fading paint? Like dark blue in the front fading to black in the back. Kinda like how some custom cars are. Or actually, is there a theme to this? Or do you just know what colors you want?

Wait. Just saw this.

A Sketchup of what you're talking about would be great. Just like a side panel drawing, because it doesn't take all that long to learn Sketchup with their tutorials. Still, black/dark blue and silver will look cool.

Since I think that sketchup is complete overkill for designing a paint scheme,

I'll draw it out. When I figgur it out.

Oh. My. God.

I can afford it. The whole thing.

Now I'm torn -- Skt939 ATi chipset mobo, which will probably go in the case i'm modding, or plexi, lights, etc.

I am so tornnnn

I got a wonderful idea.

Put LEDs behind the mobo for a backlight kind of effect.

That would be pwntastic.

That would look so col, have different coloured ones too

i though about touch sensitive, perhaps you could find a old remote, and open it up and use the sensitive pads from one of them, might work

I was actually thinking for the pw/rs buttons to take the big button thing off so it's the little round thing and putting it under that lip on the front.

I was thinking single-colored backlighting, blue...

I'm gonna keep the colors on this case to a minimum, as I said, black, with a silver feature and dark blue detail, probably will put a few LED's in it too.

I just remembered that i have a Thermaltake Gammapad, although I don't know if I want to rip it apart just for the LED's/button/convient USB interface.

I came up with something that I think would work well as the silver feature, but I gotta draw it up in PS first....

EDIT:

Something like that. Smooth and sharp simultaneously. I like that alot.

Feel free to design something if you like. If I like it, I might use it =D

EDIT2:

Also for the mobo backlighting I could get one or two of these:

and open it up, try to make it as slim as possible. Molex = good so that I don't have to run a USB cable around the back.

Woo. Said friend who has airbrush said that once he practices and cleans the garage, He'd be able to paint it. This means... I gotta' cover the cost of materials and a small tip. Sweet.


Alot of work until then though...

That pic looks great, might want something down in the bottom right though.

As for back lighting those would give such a nice effect
