Project: Passion

[Datech]

Alright, for once I am delivering my pics on time. Well, most of them. I ended up riding my Ninja all weekend and didn't get around to repainting the face plate. If any of the admins want to consider this mod done with this post feel free, but I won't feel done with it until I finish the face and set it up. I will be ordering the monitor (and Spore) this week, vacation next weekend, and I promised Girlfriend she'd be using it no later than the weekend of the 21st. I won't be modding the keyboard, mouse, or monitor to match on this one, but those may be small paint-by-number mods in the future. I will also post pics of XcOM's Vista graphic mod if chooses to do it.

So on to the pics and the wonderful engravings! I shot these pics at dusk, so the case looks really orange in most of the pics. Don't worry though, it is still a lovely deep red.

Pretty similar to the last time, right?

But oh, what is that?

A heart on fire, electricity running through your aorta, or fireworks of love? Nope, Passion...

Matching floppy window.

Total package.

A towering tower.

Other side.

You can kinda tell I sleeved the wires, but I still need to organize them better.

The glass is completely transparent, so in the dark it just glows, in the light you can see Passion.

When will this thing end?

Tune in next week to find out!

Hey, that came out great!

Yeah the engravings turned out really well, nice work.

Case looks great! Are you going to put anything behind the plexi? Kinda weird looking at a bunch of wires lol. Just wondering how many fans do you have in the case?

[DonT-FeaR]

wow that looks really nice man well done

and good work xcom

Just wondering how many fans do you have in the case?

I plan on only having five max, with the ideal of three to make the case quiet. I will have one on the front blowing air on the hard drives and through the case, one on the back pulling out of the case, one on the CPU, one on the PSU, and one on the GPU. She will eventually get my fanless 9600GT, and I will test it with and without the front or back fan and set up the OC Cooling kit eventually. Why do you ask?

[Computer-Geek]

I didn't see a fan in the front and was worried about overheating =)

good concept

[Datech]

So for those of you paying attention, do you think I should paint the back of the front windows in an attempt to frost them and disallow that much transparency? I've got a bit of spare primer, so I figured I'd get a decent ways away and give it one or two light coats to cover the back of the pieces. This would allow enough light through to glow, but not enough to see the entire inside of the case.

I have a spare piece of each engraved window, so I have testing material. I was just wondering if I should even bother before I do it.

hmm... i was thinking like sand the other side with rough paper... idk if this would work as you want
