    i use a panasonic FZ2 digicam...2 megapix only...then i use photoshop CS to resize, give more lightness and contrast to the pics, etc...as every photographer will tell you, you have to use Photoshop to have the real color of your pics, digicam always give "sad" color

    then it might be possible than the project, lasts longer than envisaged ...i have bought a aquatube reservoir for 20$ and a crystalfontz // lcd ( blue ) for 40$

    i don't know if i will use it for this mod or another projetc i thought yesterday...

    :p

    hmm i need advice, i hesitate to make the casemod evolved to this form


    [​IMG]

    i have bougth an aquatube reservoir and a crystalfontz 4*20 // , but i don't know if i keep the casemod like the start, or if it will be better to make this new design...or keep this new design for another project ...

    however, i have no money to bought the other part of the watercooling and it's hurry for me to find money and so, to sell this casemod later...

    So is this new design is better than the first "Dark angel " scketches or not ?

    I think you should use the display and reservoir for this mod, but i think you should keep the same design that you are already using. ;)

    So stick with this design, but try to modify it a little bit. ;)

    hmm ok, i see what you mean...keep the angels engraving on each side , that's all...correct?

    or just try to integrate the reservoir and the display on the casemod like it is...

    I think you should try to integrate it, maby just buy a new lexan plate and mount the display and reservoir. Then do some engravings around it ;)

    Yes, keep the angels on the side. And you should use the same case yourusing now, yust modify the front ;)

    Or what do you wanna do?

    I'd like to see you leave all the sides completely plain with just the awesome engraving. Maybe a stealthed opitcal drive and use the res for another project.

    Mate if you don't have the money for the full setup then go with your origional design. No point putting soemthing in there that will just add to the cost and serve no purpose.
    You have shown that you have the skill with engraving, do use the water theme with another mod, something geared around water.

    yeah, but i'll need a computer decent for the LAN ( one per month ) so the next will be in the 20 of february then 20 on March, etc... and my P3 550 doesn't help me in BF2 & co ! ^^

    that's why i have thought about a new hardware inside , and why don't watercooled it ( so i had need socket A or more , S939 , in µATX )

    i will keep the original design for sure just for my divxbox with this p3 config...

    but 2 project are not so easy to realise, possible, but not easy, but a third! impossible...not enought time and money !

    some guys told me to keep this design for antoher project and keep up the fist design ....but i need a decent config for the next LAN in February/March, so i a config for playing is hurry ! ^^...so my choice are :

    - 1 - keep this new design and realize it , but i need a new hardware quickly ( SocketA and WC or S939 and WC...the motherboard will be in µATX )

    - 2 - keep this new design for another project and use the first design and finish it for my divxbox ( as saying in first in this topic )

    - 3 - finish the project whith the 1st design, sell it, and with the money start the new project design...but for this choice i will need time ! and i couldn't bought it ! lol

    ...hmm...hard choices ! ^^
