    Default Flower Power

    Hello Everyone, err sorry, wrong forum. Can it be moved?

    I'm new to mod forums in general, and acrylic case building for certain. I've browsed alot of your mods and was fairly impressed. I'm going to throw something out there that you are probably not used to seeing. My daughters old computer case was falling apart so I decided to jump head first into case building (does that fall under modding?) Welcome to a 12 years old girls dream...flower power.

    Disclaimer: if flowers make you angry go no further.

    Like I said I'm new to acrylics, so there is a huge learning curve here, such as "hot pink" aka neon red, is acually orangish, painting acrylic is hard, and propane makes skinny parts warp. Other wise I did pretty good and only wasted about 2 square feet in mistakes. Also to note, dripped acrylic glue does not wipe off. Well at any rate, here is a link to my still ongoing worklog. Tell me what you think.

    That's pretty unique! Perhaps a way to get girls into modding? As far as i know, there's only 1 gal on these boards, and she hasn't been around for a while...

    That's awesome, like the hippy van of case modding.

    Great work, it's pretty nice acrylic work for someone who claims to be a beginner, I compliment you on the quick learning and job well done.

    Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. I'm not sure about how quick I grabbed on. I must of spend 4 hours a night for 2 weeks studying acrylic help sites on the web before I started. I thank my wife for putting up with it. It has alot of sloopy mistakes on it I don't care to point out :p but over all I'm happy with it. My next build should be much much better. yup i'm not done with this one and thinking of the next one. I was considering a pirate theme and the case would be a acrylic treasure chest...still debating.

    Lol, I did the same before starting my first acrylic case. The treasure chest idea sounds cool! Whatever you do, why not put up a worklog here on TBCS? I'm sure everyone here would love to see your work and progression.

    Project finito! Check it out. This is not her monitor, keyboard, or mouse. She has all that at her mom's house as well as some JBL creature speakers which not only look cool but sound awesome for their size. These are my el chepo spare parts.

    Maybe I should of added to my disclaimer...if messy cable management makes you angry...at any rate its not messy at all. Every vine is placed in such a way that pleased me. Much like pruning a rose vine. I hope you enjoy but mainly I hope she enjoys!
