Looks great! Your arm must hurt like hell from all the sanding Do you have a blue ccl AND UV-wires in there? If the ccl is switched on, won't that make the effect of the UV-wiring just dissappear? But thats were the two switches on the front come in, right? Put some mettalic accents on the front (the powerbutton for example), that would look great. Can't wait to see more!
I agree with that, but i think some black flmes or somthing like that would look killer on the bare steel
Update 20October2005 Here's today's update. Starting out... It's Tux head! Almost finished... Done! Yay! Ooer, it inverts too... So there you have it, and once again please leave your feedback. - serial_
WOW Tux looks really cool that way What are you going to do next... are you going to give the cover some black accents or are you going to leave it as it is? Great idea
Update 21October2005 *light pics removed* Now let's switch sides... And again... So there you have it, that's what i've been working on whenever (literally) i'm not at work. The case is just about finished, I still have a custom fan controller to build and some other details to work out Just fyi the case is all clear-coated, so it's nice and shiny. w00t! Aboslut Tux... Thank you everyone who has commented for your support and help, and for everyone who hasn't yet... Please leave your comments. - serial_
DAMN!!! i love the bare metal look....would you think i could achieve the same look with a belt sander also what did u cover the metal casing with to protect it?
looks good i too think you need some black accents on the case and some metel accents on the bezel but looking good
I would have used a belt sander, but didn't have one. Just go over it by hand at the end to set the grain you want. I used a 150 then smoothed it out with a 220 grit. I wanted to see a grain, otherwise i'd have gotten into even finer grits. I used rustoleum's crystal clear finish for it, to protect from rust and oxidation - serial_ P.S. Thanks for all your comments, please keep'em comin'!
Pics. I just thought i'd throw up some pics of me using The Tux Files how they're supposed to be used... The Tux Files in action. Props for recognizing this movie... The way it should be... Amen. Don't forget to leave your comments about the project. - serial_
