    Is the window cut-out supposed to look it like it was eaten away by acid or something? I think you should put the flame on the cutout and the window to make it look better.

    looking pretty damm sweet there. just a suggestion for the window, get some cracks and maybe some bullet holes going like the front fan grill. that plus some burns and a few scratches would look so damm good. just dont over do it :D

    good job

    yup, Heat gunis what it is called.
    Looks great. Got any pics of the whole side? Not just some sections of it.

    So, how much more do you have to do on this?

    yeah, the smaller pics show off the imperfections a lot more. Too bad everything always looks a lot better in real life. but still looks great from the pics :thumb:

    If you were to use an actual flame it would make some nice black trails from the blemishes. Could even use a cigarette lighter now that the blemishes are already there to add the blackening. Looks awesome as is but it might so up better from farther away.

    This is just amazing. I can't wait to see the motherboard sleeve and the aging on the plexi :D

    I really like the idea of burning the plexi, especially if you can get it smoky and slightly warped while still being transparent in places.

    wow... just... wow...

    you so have to melt a fan hole in the acrylic side panel... just because... maybe you could make it look ripped out, like a headcrab had jumped thru it or something ;)

    HOLY MOTHER OF GOD Sc0rian, you have a MASSIVLY HUGE sig :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop:

    If I were a mod.. I would sooo shrink your sig... and then like put in
    "I ownz youz :eeek:
    *pygo" And then, make it so you can;t change it for like, a year.

    oh, and as for the stuff being down.. do you need some hosting??? I am soon coming into a co-located server w/ 10mbit fiber pipe to the net :naughty: on a p4 1.5 w/ 384 megs of pc800 rdram :D In a week or so it should be up. Hopefully by this wednesday. if not, then next week.

    also Bit-tech uses 500-1000gb per month, do you think you could handle that? (refer here for a complete discussion)

    what.. I don't wanna handle that... not with a ten foot pole on my server. My boss would kill me. literally.
    I was offering image hosting ;) only a tid bit too... not like a gig a month or something... I am talking little wee bits... but then again, there is the video on my p3 600 sitting at home right now :rolleyes: It pulled 3 gigs since I put it up. Actual bandwidth to... not just, clicks on the link.

    Looking good. I pretty much agree with the others that have said it would be a good idea to add a little blackening.

    This thing is just amazing :rock:

    WOW, i just read through the whole thread, and this has definitely progressed. You have a lot of ideas cooped up in that case, its truly brilliant. My favourite part would have to be the watercooling reservoirs, the deconstructed paintwork on the base part is simply brilliant. nice job, very nice.
