    usually on most mods, there's always some little thing that i would change if i was doing it, but so far, everything you've done seems to be perfect! :jawdrop: you've got a simple, yet kick-butt design and you're doing a GREAT job of applying the same look to all parts!

    Big Model and Hobby stores may have it or anywhere that sells stuff for architecture students or model makers. I got mine at a big store that sells radio controlled aircraft, model kitsets, train sets etc. (I think it was called 'Hobbyco'). I don't really hang out in those sorts of shops so can't really remember.

    It's made by "a.m.r.i Architectural Scale Models" code AA614. Maybe google or checking your model shops? It doesn't say on the pack where it's made. I'm sure there must be an equivalent (identical) product in the Netherlands.

    That's all the info I have - hope it helps. Good luck!

    I don't know if you have your computer hardware to go in this all figured out but i have some motherboard suggestions for you to keep with your color theme.

    The revision A of the LanParty NForce2 Ultra series would be a great choice in my opinion. Since the new revision includes the 4 mounting holes around the cpu made for aftermarket cooling applications such as watercooling.
    Here's the link to the revision B on DFI's site.

    I've heard some great things about the revision A and I'm sure the revision B won't let us down.

    Perhaps your thinking of a silver style motherboard instead of black like a silver edition from Soyo. For example the SY-KT600 DRAGON Ultra Platinum. Although I do not recommend Soyo boards.

    I can say this is the best computer setup I've ever seen to date. I only wish i could buy one for myself. I salute you. :dremel:

    FIne, fine work there.

    I' wonder if you are planning a full compliment of PCI cards there. I quite like a 'busy' case.

    good work - hope the leg gets better soon!

    with regards to mb steathing - have you thought about making a fibreglass hood to encapsulate the topside with cutouts for cpu and nbridge cooling (plus agp slot exposed) then getting the fg hood chromed? - not suree how much of the mb you want to see ... :)

    I really like the pattern of the radiator front cover.... Simple and well suited to the overall style!

    You are a genius! :clap:

    you know.. i have this huge problem with cutting straight and u seem to do it like nothing w/ a hacksaw?? Is there a particular hacksaw thats better than others or are they just all the same? i was thinking of getting one for myself since it seems to work so well for you! I usually use the jigsaw but if i dont file for 2 hours it'll look like crap :sigh:
