Project: City 17 HL2 Mod by Bilbo Fraggins Completed! (with some bugs to work out)

looks just soo sweet

 

Absolutely awesome!!!



I have been out of town, so havent seen it lately. Totally sweet man. And to the dude who said they don't want a rusty piece of junk, what better comp to be a rusty piece of junk than one that has a pentium 250 mhz in it? Bilbo, man, ignore the naysayers. Keep it up bro!!!

 

thnx man ..

 

now that you are happy with al the replies, "we" (bit-tech family) were wondering if you could make us happier by an update which in turn would spur more copliments therefore makeing you happy.............so....what do you say?

thank you

Just so you all know the side paint will be time damaged a bit so it fits in..

 

maby scratch the window some more to give it more old used look

 

If it was my project i would maby make som holes or nasty deap scratches in the front. it looks to intact.

 

really good ......
keep up the good work . .and i still want some new pics

 

Love the mod. I really like using the PSU as a billboard.
The only thing I would change would be the cathode color to orange or white (just my opinion) and I would make it flicker. I would also make use of the computer badge holder with a nice half-life 2 logo. Brilliant job so far. Keep it up.

 

Or make it tinted kinda dark, but with lots of really, really, visible scratches...

 

I like your mod! You did not copy Piloux. there are dozens of all rust mods out there, Hell I have done 3!. It just that Piloux has gotten all the traffic, which is okay with me. Not trying to take anything away from him. I am one of his fans, and looks like I am one of yours now as well. I dig rusted and aged pc's all my mods reflect this as well.

Any plans on that space on top of the psu? maybe a small network switch

 

Hi bilbo !

I like the green lighting in your case ! that look very cool ! Humm i wanna know how did you apply your rust paint. I mean, how many time did you put a coat between another one. I'm talking about the iron metal effect and the rust effect...

thx alot !

 

Project almost done!

HEy guys.. thanks for your great support of the mod... I am pleased to say that this mod is winding down and coming to a close... There is not much left to do but maybe a mouse and keyboard which i will show you if thats what i do. And also there are some cabling bugs i would like to get rid of... (for better look or course) Other than that you can get a basic idea of the final project. I will let the pictures talk:
Here you go.. ENJOY









Those are the pictures i hope you enjoy them...
I also hope I can bring you guys some more pictures when i work out the last bugs. Thank you for supporting my mod, Bilbo Fraggins

 

Just outstanding! very good job, I like the C17 on right side
Anyone would be proud to call that case there own!
DB

 

Really nice. Just not a fan of the green but it does look nice...

 

Do you have the computer in your bed room? Because I also have a LED light coming out of one of drives, and its a little bitch because I cant sleep with it Plus the amount of noise

 

THnx for your comments guys

No.. the computer is not in my room. Its in my basement hah

 

that's nice Bilbo, you need a backlight behind the C17 logo now
