    ok... i suddenly got tired of my old cheap white (!!) case.. i want to make a window, but this crap has the old fasion one piece side/top panels... anyway.. just found a nice case...

    Aero S202

    i have figured out a few things to do:

    1: make the bars on the sides change color aswell...
    2: cut a nice window... not sure about design yet...
    3: stelth drives..
    4: mabye some LED fans..

    does you guys have any suggestoins for anything more to do? or have any opinions on of the case is good or bad?..

    Sounds pretty good. If you did any one of those thing then you'd be doing more than i'have done .all i've done is change some LEDs. big whoop.

    For a nice looking case you could etchlike a huge ocean wave and make all the LED like dark blue, or a dark purple. And when you etch you could do multiple heights to give it a really in depth feel. that'd be cool. yep (all of this would be etched into like plexi or acrylic)

    or like one of those futuristic anime scenes where a seemingly helpless girl :blush: is fighting a huge seemingly undefeatible monster:jawdrop: (that a little over the top though)

    wow! i really liked that one... i was thinking about cutting the shape of the window into something (flames or dragons or something like that), but eching it into the plex8i isn't a bad idea aftaer all... (heaper if i screw up!)

    i don't now yet what i really want... just in the "collector" stadium yet...

    i did find some nice tribal tatoos last night.. mabye i'll go for something like that..

    Yeah those fake tattoos do have some good looking images. and when you went to cut out the window( or etch) then you could apply the tatto directly to the surface. that would definently be helpful. and the case look really good.nice choice :clap:

    thanks for the comments :)

    I have searched for 2 days after a good design, but i can't dfind anything that i like AND looks good as a window shape... i want the shape on the window as a dragon or something,... I don't want to make it rectangular and ech in the plexi...

    really? i'm not going to tell you what's on the inside then.. :D :sigh:

    to find a picture and print it was my original plan, but it needs to be a clean design... just an outline if you know what i mean.. i also want the western dragon style... the chinese type has far to many details..

    i want something like this:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    the first one is the cind of style i like.. but on the original picture the tail was all wrong so i tried to make it like a V shape.. but i'm not quite happy with it yet..

    the second one is wery ideal as it has pretty large "window area", but it is SOMETHING wrong about it.. :sigh:

    i like the last one.. i might need to work some on that one..

    of course i scrolled down.. ;) i couldn't find any "bad" pics though.. :worried: :hehe:


    ohwell.. i have the wole weekend to think about this.. i won't get any masking tape until monday anyway...

    oh! what color do you guys think i wnat for the lights on teh inside? blue red or green? I like all of them so..

    blue: matches the light bars... it begins to get pretty usual though..

    red: red and black is nice together.. and tit matches the dragon theme well... it is pretty usual though..

    Green: unusual.. looks nice, but doesn't match blac THAT good... or..?


    Sorry for all my questions... and thanks for the replys!! :thumb:

    edit: http://www.overclockers.com/tips1018/ <---i want something like this! :thumb: :dremel:

    It all sounds good if you used a long slender one, then you could pu to a a right angle in a corner. i think it'll look really good. i cant wait to see it...:eeek: (no prob with the questions. thats the only way you learn)

    Do you want a real idea?

    SVC over here in the states sell that exact case for 30USD (thats like 20 pounds) with a 400W ATX PSU. Its a very common case.

    But take those 'bubble' tubes out and replace them with real tubes hooked up to a cheap aquarium pump. Make the bubbles real and actually move, and you'll be the only one with that feature.

    hazer: i really like the idea! but i don't want water in my comp.... i don't feel comfortable about it. anyway... won't a aquarium pump make lots of noise?

    not really they can be really quiet. bear in mind that some of the pumps people use are designed to be used in living rooms so need to be silent.
    I'm getting a MaxiJet PowerHead 1200 which is herlded to be really quiet.
    Plus if you secure all the joins in the pc then there shouldn't be any problems with leaks...
