Glad you all like it. I think I will put the Borg panels aside for now and finish up the front of the case. I got a busy day ahead so I am going to be lucky to get anything done on this :(

excelent project, very well thought out, Very similar to a thought i have had for a few years now, but never the funding to do.
You have inspirered me to start it, Just got to save the money for it.

I got one picture to show you guys. Two of the Borg panels are cut, painted, and mounted on the case.
Had to use a different camera for this picture. The blueish spots on the side panel and Borg panels are black/ dark blue. Expect to see this side panel completed tomorrow. All I have to do is cut the Borg panel and mount it.
nice to see it coming along. is that some UVgreen acrylic I spy?
Yup :) I got about 3/4 a sheet left of it. Just need to find somewhere to use it :pQuote:

Ran into a few problems today. The CCFL UV light blew up on me, and one of the EL wires just stopped working for no reason, my airhose for my airbrush has a hole in it, the cheap ass super thin wires for the power switch/power LEDs keep coming loose and I screwed up my elbow when drywalling today so my left arm is pretty much useless right now. Anyways, because of my arm I'm going to be very slow with progress on this mod. And on top of all this I got 7 and a half days to finish the mod before I do my A+ training and what not on the 8th...
As you can tell, things are a bit of a mess right now... My list to do on the case seems to keep getting bigger as things keep messing up. I got to cut, paint, mount the rest of the Borg panels,fix the front panel wires, buy new EL wire/CCFLs, and I got a lot of painting to do still...
sounds like you had a horrible day bro, sucks about the CCFL lights [thats why i try to avoid them at all cost]. EL wires isnt my field so i cant help you with that :D. is there anyway you can patch that hole in your line? duck tape maybe? oh yea and ICE that arm, take an asprin and mod through it :D
Hmm, sounds bad... Dont know how you say it in english, but its something like "A problem never comes alone..."
Keep up the good work! Problems are there to be solved. (Encountered lots of them myself recently with my Orb-mod).
Hope your arm heals fast!
I don't like CCFLs all that much either but the UV LEDs I ordered 4weeks ago are still not here. Kinda stuck on that one. But when I went to replace the CCFL, everyone was sold out. There is a local LAN event and all the kids bought all of the case lighting in town. Little buggers think that adding a pile of lights to a stock case makes it the hottest case ever :rolleyes: I was able to pick up a pile of EL wire for now. Guess no one in town has figured out how great it is :pQuote:

My larger airhoses have it but the tiny one for the airbrush doesn't.
As for my arm, I can barely bend it so I'm done for a couple days. :(
