    So I'm curious... Any particular reason you chose clear acrylic for the X, rather than metal sheets? Or is it so you can show us something within the X?

    Maybe it's a secret =^P

    Anywho, looking forward to the updates.

    some really interesting features on your case. I like the DVD mounting position Might plagurise that in next case if I use a onboard side screen, and the bevelled front looks kinda funky.

    What???

    You received all that free material to do such project?????

    Its not the best project i ve seen and its not even good looking .. the ideas of it are also old and seen them many times ... im amazed as you received sponsoring and did such a lame project:nono:

    But its ok i guess its not finished LOOL

    it could be a lot better with the material you won for the competition and better work in the case i guess the standards of Asus are low .:yawn:

    you know what Raiden, so many of your comments ive seen you write are negative... how about some support for people once in a while..... Done any mods yourself lately, oh wait, yes you have... a little bitter about the lack of interest me thinks.... Someone smack Mr negative with a big arse banhammer.

    good work modcases, Only thing im not sure about is where the X joins the case, seems like theres a bit of a gap there. Love the idea of the screen in the X and the dvd placement.

    Its my opinion ***** at least respect it, for a sponsored mod its nothing outstanding its a normal mod thats what i meant !

    For me the interest aint the best part of a mod .. a mod its to be enjoyed by the person who does it , i meant this is not a sick mod , its a regular mod so please dont hit me because its my opinion as i respect yours respect mine OK?:wallbash:

    And you dont like my mods dont see it ok? :D

    Geez .. i thougth we had freedom of speech i guess not :wallbash:

    I dunno man, theres just a million ways to say the same thing but you went a bit over the top. Not liking the project is one thing but going out of your way to insult another member of the forum?

    I know its the internet and people can lack class here and there but seriously, telling someone their project is lame goes a bit boarderline yeah?
