USMC case

[SgtM]

One small update for today. I changed the LED's in my window fan from red and blue to just blue. The fan you see in the back will probably go to 4 red LED's, and be mounted as the front intake. I've also got an idea for my DVD burner that I'll (hopefully) get to try out tonight. Remember, everything is in a temp case.

Are you moved into the new place yet? I am anxious to see you get crackin on this!

I just had an idea when I was looking through your work log. I'm not sure what your metal working skill is at but what about making a fan grill to look like a rifle badge?

[Spacehonkey]

Oh yeah I almost forgot to ask. Are you going to have it play the Marine Corps Hymn whenever you turn the computer on?

I don't know what's going on today with me but I just can't stop thinking about your case.

I'm anxious too. I went to the lender today to get the loan paperwork done. We finally got the offer signed by the seller. Now, I just have to wait for the loan to close (up to 45 days because it's a VA Loan) and then after that we have to give 30 days for the seller to move out. I'm hoping that everything goes quickly though. I know that the seller already has a new place about an hour from here, so we'll just see. I'll be able to do little things up until we move though.

Both of those are really good ideas! +rep. I don't know about the rifle badge fan cover, but I might be able to pull off Sgt chevrons out of aluminum. I thought about putting collar chevrons (the gold ones) on the DVD/CD drive covers. I'm not sure how it would look though. As far as the Marines Hymn, I would need a soundboard for turn on, but I could definitely make it so it plays that on login. Then maybe play evening colors on shutdown.

I also had another idea for the window, I have to do some testing on that first though. We'll see what happens.

Workshop in the new house.. keep in mind that none of this is my stuff. Who knows that they'll leave behind though.

Well, I tried out my optical drive mod last night on an old drive I had. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to pull it off. I'll have to open the actual drive to be modded and see how much free space there is. I didn't get on the window idea. I'll see about trying that on Sunday.

::EDIT:: just had another LED idea. This one won't be as evident as the fans, but it's going to be cool.

[SgtM]

So here's what I'm thinking for a bit of ambient lighting. Install a few LED's behind the motherboard. You know how the neon underbody car kits look? I want to achieve that effect behind the mobo. Now the hard part.. What color should I use? I have red and blue (more red than blue). I'll have to wire up a few and see what it looks like. I'm thinking that to get a really good effect, I'm going to have to sand down to metal behind the motherboard, and polish it up a little. Thoughts or suggestions on that anyone?

cool idea, would go for red, you know the led sanding trick?
