    Default Arcangel project (my first engraving)

    Hi, I've been looking this forums for a long time and now it's my time ^^
    I have a Cooler Master Centurion 5, and I decided to do it something. I saw some engraved cases and a few weeks ago I found a picture that inspired me. The engrave it's almost done, it's my first worl of this kind. Made with dremel obiously.
    Tomorrow I'll finish it and I'll add more pics. What do you think?




    PD: sorry for my bad english (I'm spanish)g

    i think it's very nice.. the detail is amazing.. and ake me wonder.. how did u get the lines? are they painted after the engraving? or did u manage to do such a hi-resolution engraving that the paint i see is the case's? anyways, congratulations! this is one nice piece of work! u should seal the metal with some clear coat to avoid rusting or oxidation again, A+ from me!

    Thank to all. Let's answer.
    To dgrmkr: I printed the draw and fixed it to the side panel, then used the dremel to do the outlines. Next step is remove the printed draw and fill it.
    To Cevinzol: I used the 105 bit (is Spain has that number), it's the 0.9mm engraving bit.

    This engraving is great! I really like how you used the paint from the side panel as the outline for the engraved picture. Are you planning to do anything else to your case?

    I finished it!! I havent posted earlier because I had problems with my ISP.





    To Silenced_Coyote: I'm going to do a graphic equalizer (with leds) to put it in a 5.25" bay. I want to add a 5" LCD in another bay or a wide 19" in the other side panel. Maybe a window and some more engraving.
