Well guys I thought I would finally post as I have been a lurker here for some time. All of you have some pretty mad skills. This is what i have been working on. The case started out as a stock silver chieftec matrix series tower. I then ordered the door with the side window as I didnt have the time to cut one. It stayed like that for some months. Then the spark hit me. After many weeks of chain smoking, enough obscenity from cutting hands and spilt paint, and some time spent in local junk yards this waht we finished with(minus the front which is still drying). It is kinda of a tribute to cars/truckdrivers. There are accents on it that appeal to both. MY father was a mechanic most of his life , therefore i was around all sorts of vehicles my whole life. The system isnt that great as far as hardware specs but it gets the job done as far as I am needing it to.
