    do a cool ninja pose pls :naughty:
    great looking window.. though i think it would look cooler if you focused on only one color inside the case. since now it looks like a rainbow or something.. thats nice in a way.. but if it would be all green it would be hell a lot cooler imo. :thumb:

    also make a cool window on the top in the same cool style. and maybe a window on the other side as well :D go dremel go! :dremel:

    Amazing work so far! :rock: I love the clean cutouts and the inside lighting.

    Definately should paint it though. How about black? A nice metallic blue would look cool too. If you decide to paint, invest in some Duplicolor automotive paint. Best stuff ever. :thumb:

    thanks all, the paintjob id going to be a piano black, i hope i can get that kind of gloss. the two green lights at the front arent really lights. they are holes that i drilled for something a while ago. they are going to be filled and painted over.
    i think i might do the top window, but im also putting in 2 blowholes on top, i dont know if a window would look good with them. i have an idea tho. as far as a right side window its not gonna happen, thats where all my wires are hidden :thumb:

    Nice decision on the window, much better than the standard design. Is it spposed to be in the shape of the letter "y"? Maybe a "G" & "L" for Green Lantern.

    hey, thats a pretty sweet looking window! Great design, i like it :thumb:

    The case is gonna look pretty sweet in a gloss black. And I think a side blowhole would ruin the overall effect a bit, but if you really need one, probably put it under that grey lock thingie.

    keep on modding
