did a little bit more messing today
made a motherboard tray and played about with ideas for the side panels .
i keep fighting with myself over the side as to what will look better . i think i Prefer the side panels off as it gives more solid straight lines.
So i am considering flattening off the case and coating it then painting .
i just cannot decide
i made some comparisons side by side with my other mod. that extra bulk of the side panels really makes it look swelled like a can of pop that has been shaken up to much. i just cannot decide.
I dont know if you are able to see it so much in this picture but here you go
started making the trimmings for my back panel
i do not think that back panel is coming along to badly considering it started life as this piece or rusty crap i found
this is a chrome viynl wrap that i have used on the top of the case it is very attractive but to exspensive for my tastes so i just bought 1 A4 sheet
i quite liked the front face feature that covers the speaker so i reused it
i cut this piece out and then i tinted it . i was going to fit it over the drive doors and make a back lighted panel with a few words on to flash in sequence . but then i decided not to
i change my mind to much
~
the side project is coming along nice i might give it its own thread
So anyway i cannot decide if i want to carry on with the side panels or not as i think i prefer those straight edges
ah well it's a work in progress
any ideas are welcome. Both the odd and the exotic
