    I think a keyboard and mouse with the same theme of this project would look great, but it should be modern, because you could run the risk (well you have already really) of looking like blackmesa reincarnated.

    Who's mod is this? Yours or his?

    If he wants to do this sorta theme, then let him. It's been done a few times but so've cathodes and windows, yet you're not saying that they're boring. :eyebrow:

    You shouldn't make the building sit on top of it: you should make the front bezel look like the building instead! Much tighter integration!

    That logo does look sweet! I reckon you should go put it in the window (or build it into the front panel somehow...). Anyway, can't wait for another exciting update... :clap:

    or he could make a front bezel and have the logo cut out of metal with some plexi behind then have a cold cathode or some other lighting that kind of "pulses" for a cool effect

    Finally another update! :D

    Ok.. sry for the long wait i have been very busy. I have changed a few things around that i hope will look good.

    First off here are the pics of the case interior. (all unpainted spots will be covered for nice look)
    Inside of case:
    [​IMG]
    another shot:

    The psu and the mother board slot are painted here are some pics of that:
    the power suppply still needs to be sleeved :D
    [​IMG]
    The mother board slot:
    [​IMG]
    As far as the outside of the case goes i got my parts and started on the window... i didnt like the plain square and i hated the look of the molex so today i went to the hardware store and picked up a 14 by 14 sheet of plexy which i will mount behind the case and hold tight with some screws through the plexy.. that will look much better :) as you can see here is the pattern (you can see the old cut lol)
    [​IMG]
    I also bought some tubing and a neat valve
    [​IMG]
    i think i will put this on the right bottom side of the case
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    As for the front.. i am stuck on what to do.. any ideas plese :)
    just a few extra pics
    the grills are painted, the picture of the lights and the piece of plexy i bought

    i would use that valve on the front
    and make it a light control
    turn it to the left makes your lights glow less
    turn it to the right makes your lights glow more
    and totally left = out
    this may come in handy when your sleepin

    I found this site: Clicky

    Note the banner at the top of the website, nice logo there. You could always email the site's creators (if you happen to speak Russian) and ask for the images they used to put that banner together.
