Hi SpookyTheModder

Welcome to the board :thumbsup:

[mdzcpa]

Welcome to LN Spooky:)

Looking good so far...love the detailed progress pic. Keep us posted on how it turns out:)

[WesM63]

Welcome and nice case you got there.

[SpookyTheModder]

Thanx for the welcomes and compliments. It is really nice here. But as for the case i wish i remembered what it was so i could give yall a before pic. but NEways i messed up on painting so i have to get to home depot and get two more cans of spray paint. and the best part is the people at my grammas bodyshop are gonna let me do a automotive clear coat. oh yea, its gonna shine!
im also planning on doing an etching lit up with green leds and a blue cold cathode. i just have no clue on what to etch. If yall could possibly get me some pics to work with.... I just need some ideas. so anything you think would make a good and yet origonal etching just post it. thanx:rolleyes:

[Drake]

Well, what are you into? Anime, cars, girls? How much work are you willing to put into the etching?

For a bit of inspiration, you may want to take a peak at other's work and go from there. Here's (http://www.liquidninjas.com/gallery/) a link to the LN gallery, though not much artwork is done besides what Tailin has submitted.

[EDIT]: The PimpRig Gallery (http://www.pimprig.com/old/modules.php?op=modload&name=mediaGallery&file=index&do=showgall&gid=2) is another good one, with a bit more art than we have.

[SpookyTheModder]

Anime. just cant find a good pic to etch, and im doing this the right way, so im willing to put as much wotk in to this as nessesary.

[Drake]

See if Anime Wallpapers (http://animewallpapers.com) doesn't help. Pick your popup stopper though...

They also have a few links to other places.

Good work.

I was thinking of using mesh like what's on the Antec TruePower ATX connector but would rather not have to take the molex connectors off.

Can't wait for the next update. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Turned out great!

How long did it take you to do the etching?

[SpookyTheModder]

took me like 1 and a half hours

[unacceptable_risk]

dig the case spooky.

Hey fara, a pair of pointy tweasers will have those pins out of the molex plugs, no need for snippage.

I am about to snip my psu cables to exact length and sleeve with stainless steel braid, then clear tube to match my ide cables.

I have also bought everything I require to make custom length tubular ide cables......hmmm perhaps I'm a wiring freak.

I get a cam tomorrow, so pics to come.
