Project monster computer

I would seriously consider getting that picture laser etched into a piece of plexi, then cutting a window in the side of the case to the exact shape of the outline - mount the skull in the new hole and point a couple of red leds at it to make the etching really glow - you'd still be able to see into the case but that would look (IMO) absolutely epic....

I have a few cases this size (or bigger) and love 'em - I have a full tower old-school chieftec dragon...

as well as a Thermaltake Mozart TX...

and finally, my pride and joy (well as far as computer cases go) my server which lives in one of these....

A lian li 343b cube case - this thing has 18 (yup, eighteen) 5.25" bays!!!!

Your love of large cases is not going to make people here look at you funny - most of us love em

I'm down for that... Around how much would you say that would run me?

And I love your cases!

oh 4*4 isn't so bad at all. I was thinking like 12*12 or something large in that range. In that case I doubt you will need to do much to touch the image up. Laser etching is certainly an option but there is a lot of soft detail there that I think will be lost and it is more expensive. You should try this just for kicks, make two transparencies, one with the heavy details and the other with the shading. Then mount them on opposing sides of a Plexiglas sheet to see if the separation gives the image more depth.

Also, if you're really interested in laser engraving, give TLHarrel a pm, he does a great job and very affordable, especially for 4x4"

It scales up pretty nicely actually, here it is a 4 inches square (roughly).

Here is what you could do to separate the depth...

Those look great...

And when I get some money I'll send him a PM. Good lookin out!

Ok here's a pic of the airflow setup.

I know it doesn't make much sense, but it seems to be cooling VERY efficiently. My Athlon 64 x2 4800+ 2.5ghz is overclocked to 2.7ghz (not much, I know, but I don't want to go far due to crap power supply) idles at 26-29C, and under load (iTunes and modern warfare 3) goes up to 36-39C. So not bad temps at all, I think . What say yalls

Looks fine. Thats a normal setup. Front in, back out and top out.
