Boondock saints mod

[Dirty Moogler]

ok here goes.....
i plan to build a boondock saints themed case ....
trying to keep it relatively simple as this im my first whole case mod ....
i have coolermaster centurion 5 which was a present ...
which i plan to use ..it has a premodded window ....
http://www.coolermaster.com/index.ph...+Centurion%205

i plan to put a uv acrylic green cross on the window ....based on the rosaries in the movie....
and to have the words "aequitas" and "veritas" vertically on either side of the window
one more cross on the front panel ...mayb hook it up to the hdd leds so that its flashes with actvity ...

havent really decided for the other side panel ....
i want to incorporate the prayer from the movie somewhere ....but not sure how to do it ...
i was thinking mayb to have it as a border going along the edges of the panel ... or having it painted in the centre ...

anyone hav ideas for the top pannel ? ..
i was thinkin of incorporating an irish flag or erin go bragh flag ...
sorry for not having an pics of ideas ...but having issues with my internet ...
dont seem to b able to upload anything ....

ok heres an update ....
i got the basic layout planned for the windowed side panel ....

want to use uv reactive green acrlic for the cross ..give it a bit more kick

here my idea for the front panel ...

not certain where to put the cross ....so i showed to possibilities ...

also want to put boondock saints somewhere on the case ....any ideas ?

i had the idea to have " The Saints" on the other siden panel ....the t being the cross again ....

yeah if u have noticed i have an obsession with the cross ..think it was such an outstanding image in the movie ...the rosaries the brothers wear....

thinking of gettin a custom fan grill of it done for the top panel if i decide on adding a fan there ..
or on the bottom corner of the window ....help cool my sli cards.....would this juz look too crowded ??

any opinions are welcome

yeah my desk is kinda a mess :p...
and i juz realised theres 3 ash tray nxt to my com ...wow ...:p

i juz realised that some of you may not have seen the movie or remember the prayer so i thought i would post it

"And Shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti."

Sounds pretty sweet eh ??

I absolutly love that movie!!! one of the best films i've ever seen.

On the front panel i would stealth the dvd drive and have the cross as tall as the 4 drive bays.

Maybe a cool idea for the prayer would be to paint it in ancient text

If you're artistic, take that and break it down to a more simple back-and-white only image and etch it into a clear acryllicwindow, backed with black acryllic. Put white LEDs into the sides of the acryllic window so that when it lit up, it would show the faces super-bright and clear but the rest of the clear woudl remain transparent. Like below:

Only the white areas would be etched, leaving you an awesome effect when it lit up, but otherwise rather normal if not.

[Dirty Moogler]

the idea for the etching is awesome ...
dont think i would do it for the main window ...juz makes things a bit cluttered ...and cant see my dfi mobo hehee
right do it on the other side panel ....
only prob is im having trouble getting hold of a dremel this side of the world ...
once i do ...that etch is deff a must ...*two thumbs up*

I like option A more for the placement of the cross, but if you ever plan on adding a second CD drive you're screwed. So I'd probably go with the second option.

Anyways, awesome idea! What a great movie to make a mod for!

[TheNemesis350]

for the cross over the drives, you could section the cross off by just cutting the number of slits in it as the number of drives. then you could add more, and each section could open freely

I would do the cross on the front bays, have the picture or prayer etched into the window and the two words like you have them.

Do some research into what that saying really means and it makes the movie better.

And some of us have absolutely no idea what or who boondock saints is/are. I thought they were some sports team, like Boston Redsocks or something.

Can't help with the ideas, but I just have to say: Yay, you have a frontx too!
Those things rock, don't they? what you got in it?

[Dirty Moogler]

boondock saints is a cult movie from america ...that really neva spread
