Simply Amazing work! Can't wait to see more!
Awesome .
I sure didn't see that coming, the rust paint job looks perfect, the bulbs with el wire inside and the awesome plaque (good find) is the cherry on the cake, nice work mate , going to be an epic mod when you're done, just keeps getting better woohoo .
my 1st scratch case made july 2008 (finding my feet)
Air Cube prototype (fin jan 2009) (still finding my feet)
Air Cube v2 now with added cpc stack (fin aug 2010) (getting better)
Project Stealthlow (fin sep 2011) (much improvement)
Lean and Green - modular dual PC scratch build - Paused

Just beautiful. I love the vacuum tubes...if you could get a mini-jacob's-ladder-ish thing going between those two ears on the center one, it would be perfect
Funny you should mention that. I was actually planning a jacob's ladder somewhere in or on the thing, but I decided the voltages involved were probably not a good idea that close to my hardware.
That's not to say I've entirely written the idea off as an accessory...
“Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible, and when I leave you will finally understand why storms are named after people.”
after looking this over (and believe me, it's SO hard to nitpick on such an amazing build), I would advise sticking the EL wire you have around the plaque into tubing like you have on top of the PSU cover. (did someone else already suggest this? I feel like I read something similar earlier...but I'm tired and I don't feel like going back and checking ) anyway. I think if you do that, it'll straighten it out nicely, and it'll meld better with the rest of the cover. looks sweet though, love the purple!
How soon can you build me one?
Man that looks awesome i love the el wire and old tubes i know i get kinda sick thinking about all the cool stuff like that i had access to before i heard of modding . +rep dude loosk great
Congrats on that work dude!! I liked a lot when the little gears started moving XD didn't think your plans included that!!

Congrats BoB!!! I missed that too, very cool effect with the EL wire. I just love clever solutions
