Hey Crimson,
I realize that you will be making a few videos. Will there be a video on you using the weathering powders? I understand the directions but Im a better visual learner. Thanks.
Awsome mod...do you mind sharing the kind of knowledge and quallification required to produce such a beautiful piece?
If you look into the section of the site about Crimson, you'll see he worked as on special effects, carpentry and model building for quite some time. Ofcourse thats the indirect route to case modding, you can ofcourse dive in head first and learn by experience. =P
Here's his biography if you're interested.

Whew!...alright it looks like its finally in the home stretch--Nothing more to build, just paint and assemble--easier said than done--although since the entire mod is built around modules, everything should fit right into place. Lots of wiring to do as well--but its 99% done overall. Here are some pics from last weeks build:
Etched pentagram window in its frame with LED lighting. Basically its 6 ultrabright red lamps wired in parallel:

Here is the roof module during painting. The cover caps off the roof nicely and includes 2x 120mm fan vents for the Black Ice pro radiator.

Roof Module 2
Here you can see that i curved the interior of the roof module to allow for airflow off the radiator:

The Antec case is really small for a mid-tower, so I built an extension for the rear of the case. This allows me to push the PC Power & Cooling 510 SLi PSU out the back about two inches, giving me preciuous room inside for wire managment and components. The round holes on the extension piece are for PSU fan exhaust, an 80mm fan and a hole for the water pump. This estension piece also conceals all the typical messy wires on the back of the PC :
Extension 1
There is even a hinged door for access to the I/O panel of the motherboard.
Extension 2
Once its all painted up and weathered, I'll take individual pics of all the components before assembly to show all the parts.

Thats some awesome work dude, cant wait to see the final assembly. And i cant wait to see what your next project is =P
Hey Paul, Ive been following you progress from the start and I thought I would register just to ask one question. Are you going to put a varnish on the case? A matte varnish would really seal up the paint and bring out the colour imho
Yeah I've been spraying on a clear matte finish after weathering with the powders to seal it all in.

The Detail of your work is always very well done. I really like the way everything is taking shape. Also sometime wish we would get more updated on this as I know you are kept busy with everything in your life.
Very Nice work.
Simply stunning. Nice work Paul.
