    [​IMG]

    So this is what i have done yet.
    Bought 2 cans of black shiny and sprayed the right side with it.
    Dude it looks awesome, pics comming soon (i hope)

    This is the plans:

    I found a place to buy UV LEDs and pens and they also have very cheap cold cathodes so i think ill buy it there.

    A blowhole in the top, 120mm i think and i yhink it will be a titan aluminium fan. The 120 LED fans are so freaking expencive :miffed:

    I made a fast sketch of a window design:

    Give me ideas please, and a tip for a name!

    Snitch, we even have the same parquet floor! Except the squares in my house are much smaller, so since I'm used to see the small squares, the case looks tiny :).
    Looking at your case, then at mine, makes me realize that I have come a long way...
    Please submit pics of what you have done so far, and I am looking forward to the next update!

    Just realised it will be freakin hard to come up with new ideas...
    Bard already done everything...

    Found cheap UV-diodes, ran happy home and saw bard already did it :miffed: :waah:

    EDIT: (just to dont post to many in a row...)
    I'm going to start cutting the blowhole inte the top as soon as i buy a 120 fan (have to take pictures, im going to write a guide)...

    Snitch, the UV LEDs from jxddata (Sunbeam) are actually just 1000mcd, even though it says 8000 mcd. (I learned that from the microplex.no site, where they also sell these LEDs).
    No I haven't. I'm not finished yet! :D

    When can we expect updates/pics on this project? Now? :lol:

    That's so nice! Makes me want to paint mine too. Is it scratch resistant? Have you sanded between the coats? Are you using clear coat on top? Do you think I'm asking to much?
