    I may go with some rust once I get and air brush.

    Small update.

    I cut out the panel for the power/reset switches and such. I used the switch box panel as a template so they match (the one I cut out is the smaller one).


    I then cut out the holes for the buttons and leds

    Then some paint on them both. I also cut out a panel for the usb that will be on the side of the case.

    Ill start final details tomorrow and then some paint.

    thanx for lookin

    I use a dremel for anything small and a jig saw for the bigger stuff such as the front bezel and cover for the lid. I want to straiten up my cuts in the front but I was out of discs until 10mins ago. Ill finish the straining and tomorrow. Today was a to busy a day.

    Thanks for the compliments.

    I got a little bit more work done today on the pc.

    I started by making a support for the lid so it wont snap the other doors of when you open it. It was putting a lot of pressure on the doors so I got some small cable and put some ends on it.

    Then I mounted it to the lid and back panel using some rivets. It may not look great but this was the best and simplest way I could find to do this. Remember, it has to function too.

    Then I mounted the rear hinge.

    I also mounted the hard drive cage using some drill screws. Its easy to detach it as long as you have the front overhanging a table or something.

    The bottom shot

    Some black paint. I know you may think theres a lot of overspray but I will mask off the areas I want to stay black and the green will cover up the rest.



    Tomorrow some more paint and some finishing touches. I should have it finished in a day or two, as long as I am happy with the paint. The real time killer is waiting 4 hours for paint to dry before i can touch it.

    OH, some hardware.

    Old AMD 3700 (free from my shelf) and motherboard. Also a new sata DVD writer from newegg ($30) and a free 160 gig seagate HD. Tomorrow the 8600gt, 1 gig ram, and 400 watt Ps whould be here from newegg.

    Thanks everyone for looking.

    Ok ANOTHER UPDATE.

    something you may be interested in, paint. Yes that was my goal for today and I accomplished it, but dont let me get ahead of myself

    I started by taping off the areas I wanted to stay black and threw on some primer after sanding.


    Then I put on 5 layers of green so I would get a good even coat.


    Well that doesent look right, too new. SO I threw on some black for the darkening and aging effect.



    Then once the paint wasnt to tacky, I took off the paper and tape.



    I think the black handles and black front work well with the color.

    Anyways, i will let this dry a few more hours and then start assembly if I can. I dont want to mess-up the paint with finger prints and huge scratches. I dont plan on sanding any of it down to make it look more worn because I want to protect the metal.

    More pics in better lighting. I also finished the front bezel. I dont know if I will paint the screws or not. The crome look gives it some contrast.







    thanks for looking
