It's truly amazing how one can take the low-down and forgotten Antec Lanboy of old and turn it into a truly revolutionary showpiece of modding.

It's stunning. Honestly, stunning.

Thanks DD, I appreciate it. I'll have the FINAL pics of this beast up in the coming days--I've been putting off photographing it for months. :/

and apparently still putting it off :p

I saw this case a while ago on the [H] forums, and I thought it was the best case mod I have ever seen. I signed up to post that to this day, it's still the best to me.

I wish I had access to that GUI for the mini LCD to play around with it

I keep forgetting to ask, but what type of paint is that you used to coat the frame of Doom3 and what used to be on the console panels of Nighthawk?

[Crimson Sky]

Jon, that was just a few heavy coats of flat black Krylon and Bright Silver sprayed together with both hands in a trick I learned. It creates a thick powdery finish that needs a few weeks to really cure, but its strong when it does. Same technique was used on the Nighthawk panels.

Rats! I should have known it was technique rather than formula, don't suppose they sell skill in a can?

[Crimson Sky]

Hehehe..well..no..

But its not a difficult process...you cant really go wrong with it! if you apply too much of one color, just balance it out with the other--the trick to this procedure is to apply the paint from fairly far away, this lets the paint dry a little before it reaches the case creating the powdery look--about 18-20". It does leave a fairly textured look and feel, if thats what you're going for.

Prep the case if its bare alum or steel with some Bulldog brand Adhesion Promoter, then Krylon (I think) Bare Metal Primer.

Hmm.

Y'know, Crimson, having your phone number sitting on my desk kinda makes me want to call you right before I paint and ask for tips. =D

You too, Jon. =D


Anywho, seeing Doom3 in person was pretty bitchin'. Especially the rubber ducky.
