    Love how it's looking so far EEL, the shiney clear coat with sparkles even made my girlfriend look twice (she's one of them that swap from pink to blond to brown hair to!)

    Hahah, thanks mate! I'll try.

    Hey, Bentleya! Haven't seen you around much, mate. Thank you kindly!

    Hahaha!

    LOL!

    Thanks for the kind words! That's cool she likes it. I used to dye my hair weird colors when I was in high school too; I think we all probably did weird stuff like that or worse, lol.

    I was Captain of the Worse team in high school. I started college 2 summers before I graduated high school. The college girls knew things. :jawdrop:

    Awww, John. That's TOO pink! That thing looks more like Burt from Sesame Street's militant lesbian sister.
    -Now I'm seeing images of Burt driving around in post-apocalyptic Australia...

    OZ is cool. "We want to film another Mad Max movie. What do we need?" "Cars. We already have the landscapes"


    /edit

    Cheaps, you ever wonder if you and I are the opening acts for the E.E.L. concert stage?

    Bwhahahaha!

    You know?....I think I know that chick! :lol:

    Hey, mate! Thanks. Glad to see ya around. Your schoolwork is waaay more important than all this BS so don't skimp on it. You'll end up like me! :lol:

    LOL! There's never enough pink, man. And with that statement, all you need in a lot of orange juice and some protein shake mixes and you're good to go! :eeek:

    Did I just type that?! :hehe: ...I have no idea what I meant by that. :worried:

    LOL...the image of Burt with a pierced nose with a chain connecting it to his ear fighting with Ernie comes to mind. "Push me, shove you! Oh yeah, says who?"

    LOL, not at all. I think we'd make a great messed-up comedy troupe though. The only problem is, we'd be laughing at our own jokes....and no one else would be joining in on the laughs!

    A buddy of mine says all his jokes are for his own enjoyment. As long as he thinks it's funny, he doesn't care if anyone else does. Though, he also says "Sex is a race, first one to finish, wins." His girlfriend doesn't think that's funny.... :worried:

    Nov. 27th Update

    "Under a Gypsy Fangrill..."

    And we have another update pop up here. It was growing a bit so I figured I'd pare it down a bit before it reached terminal velocity. Let's keep things under control.

    Let's get to it, shall we?

    First up, the top I/O for firewire, USB, etc. was finished up. Like I stated previously, I wanted to 'jazz it up' a bit as well as keep things within the theme a bit, so I designed a Satellite of Love shape to contain the ports.

    [​IMG]

    Quick little check on measurements; all good here!

    [​IMG]

    Now let's screw the Lian Li breakout ports onto the bone...

    [​IMG]

    I also finished up on sleeving the remaining fans from Xigmatek. Colors don't really matter, so I used some UV yellow I had laying around.

    [​IMG]

    Now, let's install the top exhaust fan onto the top panel. After poking around in all the boxes and piles of screws I have laying all over the place, I couldn't seem to find any 10-24 or 10-32 socketcap screws about! Kind of annoying, but not the end of the world. So I found the next best thing that will work just fine....some 5mm socketcaps.

    [​IMG]

    Slightly larger screw, so I needed to make sure the fan's screwholes wouldn't split wide open like a hamster giving birth to a rabbit. That requires some tapping!

    [​IMG]

    A couple mins. later, I have some tapped screw holes for M5 screws.

    [​IMG]

    I also installed the bottom wire grill I previously shot with the color-scheme. Probably not necessary, but it won't hurt anything either.

    [​IMG]

    ...And installed on the top panel along with the acrylic grill trim as well as the hex-mesh I previously shot to match the color-scheme.

    [​IMG]

    Lights off to see how they look!

    [​IMG]

    I also finished up on installing the breakout ports on top as well. Everything looks great!

    [​IMG]

    I repeated tapping screw holes on the rear exhaust fan too and installed it, along with the acrylic grill trim and hex-mesh...

    [​IMG]

    ...and a Gypsy grill! Can't really see it much, but it's cool it's there. The ole' girl needed some recognition at least in some capacity, right?

    [​IMG]

    Lights off to see how things look!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I spent some time re-tapping the holes for the mobo standoffs and installed the mobo proper. Some rumblings of wire-management as well as PSU installed and HDD caddy up front. Things are beginning to come together!

    [​IMG]

    And a rear shot of things so far...

    [​IMG]

    I'll have some more coming soon. Whenever I get to it. :hehe:

    Coming along nicely. Glad to see you're still at it.
    Acrylic, lights, cable management - wore me out reading. I need a nap now.

    Wow, quick reply John! Thanks. And thanks for the...whatever it is...on its way to me. ;)

    Thanks! :hehe:...I literally just started installing the guts, man. This isn't a finished project yet. Obviously you're not familiar with my previous projects! :)
