    Looking good.

    I like the name. :)

    What's that thing in the bay below the floppy drive ?

    What kind of trim have you used with the window?

    The dragon looks absolutely fanstastic. The one in the front that is. The other one looks good too. But I really love the one in the front.

    And what are those buttons in the last pics for ?

    Nice to get mentioned. :) Thanks. Great project, hope that you can post couple of images of the case and perhaps couple of images from some single detail from the project to http://metku.net/modgallery/ too. :)

    Pretty nice case. I really like the chrome trim around the window too.

    Malibu blue is the color of the paint :)
    The thing below the floppy is a docking bay for my PDA.
    The trim is just C-channel chrome trim, usually used on the edges of car doors.
    Ominousdoom did the dragon etchings with a sandblaster, complement her :)

    And finally, there are 2 buttons, one switch and a headphone jack in that last pic. The switch is for the lighting, the two buttons are reset and power, and the the thing next to the switch is the front headphone jack.

    Looks pretty slick. The etching really does give the case a more sophisticated look.

    I'll give you a quarter.. use it to mod your own badge! :)

    Well it still looks good to me, even though I was under the influence when I first saw it. I think the colours and designs coordinate well to make one sophistocated case. But you're right, I haven't seen many.. :D
