Project: Shark
Hello once again boys and girls. I'm starting up a new project today. Before I get to the pics, here's a little info about the project.
For starters, the case I'm using is the Thermaltake Shark. I loved the look of the front, the great features, and the fact that it's a full tower and I plan on watercooling this. If you didn't already get it, the name of the project comes from the case :p. Anyways, for this case I'm not theming it at all. I just want a semi-normal looking computer, with a sleek design and minimal color variation. That brings me to the next part. For the colors, I'm sticking with the stock case: black case, blue lighting (some may say it's overdone and cliche, but I think it's easier on the eyes than all the devil red and black or multicolor rave cases). There may be a little silver thrown in, but it won't be the focus of the colors. For the design, like I said, I want sleek, and simple-yet-complex. I like the curves on the case, and I'm designing most of the windows/aesthetic mods on curves. There will be blue plexi, black metal, and blue water. For lighting, I'm keeping that to a minimal/average amount, partly because I don't want to waste electricity and partly because I don't want to rival the sun. No CCFLs for this, LEDs is what I'll be using. I'm still working on some 3D designs of the case, and I'll post those once I can make them :p. But for now, on with the pictures.
Here's the case. I like the look of the front door, but it's a little plain for me. Plus, like I said this will be black and blue, so that silver thing on the side has got to go. As you'll see down more, it doesn't really fit with what I'm using anyways.
