Looks awesome. You should just mount a fan in the rear lined up with the Zalman 9500 cooler as an exhaust for the CPU heat.

what i get to do this weekend :)

darn panels keep disappearing...

with cool pics on them :D

expecting all the flames to take about 2 hours? 3? should be worth it :) ordered some things off xoxide, i hope they get here in time..

This is a really good idea, I hope it all works out for you, keep up the good work!
Custom cases are the next biggest computer accessory and there are not that many sweet looking ones out nowadays.
Good luck if you do decide to keep up with it in later years :D

**forcifer** · 01-23-2008, 09:13 PM

planning on it :) btw, PLEASE, if anyone is interested in buying it, contact me (pm, email, ANYTHING) i really need the money badly. would probably spend it on getting some plexi/acrylic and building a case out of that. and if you do, ill cut in whatever you want..

**forcifer** · 01-25-2008, 05:08 PM

finished the cutting. again, i cant stress this enough, peoples comments are awesome...really makes nearly breaking your wrist worth it :) (im dead serious it hurts like hell to type now)

its done :)

is you compare it to original pic of what the flames were supposed to look like, i actually really screwed up. but it still looks pretty good to me

without flash

i dont know if you can tell, but some of the flames are REALLY close together. i was seriously debating if i should just use black paint instead (i have it)

decided not to and am very glad i didnt :)

just another shot of the burnt one.

the clear coat is drying as i type this.

all comments very much welcomed

dang child!

**TheMatt** · 01-25-2008, 06:33 PM

That looks awesome.

01-25-2008, 06:38 PM

Awesomeee

**forcifer** · 01-26-2008, 09:25 AM

small update in what i have done, huge one in meaning :)

pretty much what i did: got some plexiglass and frosted it. i frosted it by using 400 grit sand paper and a automatic sander. it worked amazingly well as you will see. i also clear coated the burnt parts, but thats to keep a mess from happening, and to almost freaze the charred where it is. enjoy :D

worlds best glue drying mechanism ever

if you cant tell, thats a brick of clay. my dad likes to do pottery in his free time, and that stuff is DENSE

there is something under there.. ;)

hehe now i get to wait 12 hours for the glue to dry =.=

o...m....g..

this is perfect...the frosted just filters the light, letting it almost glow. perfect for me :D

the back side. all those spots are just where i glued. but thats also the frosted look i got with the 400 grit sand paper

:D

anyway, hope you enjoy, and comments welcome :) thats how ive gotten a few of my ideas, at least the flame one, are from comments (someone gave me the flame idea but i cant remember who sorry)

HawMan · 01-26-2008, 09:28 AM

This is brilliant. Very Good work.

Enjoying the pics, keep 'em coming,

**forcifer** · 01-26-2008, 02:20 PM

everything put back together! been about 4 days now XD

with the top on. the frosted really looks good with the flames, at least to me.

more of an artistic view...

the entire case pretty much. you see some chipping around the window, but thats because of flash it really is nearly impossible to tell without flash

close up on the window

it really is acrylic, better then nothing so stuff doesnt get into the comp (cats) and looks more professional :)

the backside. you can see the glue spots, which is a bummer, but not that bad. not expecting people to shove their head into my case o.O

a closeup of the frosted effect. the window and that plexi both came from the same sheet of plexi, just that 400 grit sand paper pwnz

WTF haha yea its geese. i got bored waiting for glue to dry and i noticed them outside my window

all comments welcome (starting to sound like a broken record yet?) im serious though everything people have said has so far helped.

**forcifer** · 01-26-2008, 03:29 PM

what i get to do for the side panel :) should be awesome if i do it right..

**Go The Power** · 01-26-2008, 08:14 PM

This looks really good, well done.

You gave me a idea what I might do for a tech project

.

**ashumann12** · 01-26-2008, 09:13 PM

How about a side panel like this?

**forcifer** · 01-26-2008, 09:36 PM

possible? yes. likely? no. lol the inside thing would be held in by the 5 little points. i have case nearly finished, minus back panel and other side panel will get pics up in about 2 min if you want to stay around

**ashumann12** · 01-26-2008, 09:44 PM

Just messin with ya. That one would be tough unless echtched into plexiglass, It's kind of my logo!

Post away, got a good thing goin, keep it up!
