    I just finished one of my projects: Project BlueMoon
    So its time to start a new one: Project: ???

    As with BlueMoon I started with the same generic case
    [​IMG]

    first thing I did was to cut out the windows and sand them to remove the texture and then prime them

    [​IMG]

    they where then wetsanded to 1500 grit and then primed again and wetsanded again

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    the front panel was treated the same as the rest of the case

    next thing im doing is paint them wetsand then paint then clearcoat

    well here are pics of the progress

    here are the parts with the first layer of paint
    [​IMG]

    I then layered it with clearcoat enamel paint
    [​IMG]

    Then after that i added a second layer of clearcoat to make sure it is thick, flat, and smooth.

    [​IMG]

    I have more pics but i will post them later once the post gets to the next page due to bandwidth limitation of my server and cable connection

    anyway, I already did a hdd window mod with a ? etched on it. I also placed the cathodes on their apropriate locations

    the hdd like, I always do, will be diplayed on the top window. The window of the hdd has a ? etched on it.
    I plan to add a green or blue LED to it if i can get one.

    Here another small update. (I have most of the project done but i will post them later when it gets to page 2 because of the bandwidth of my server)

    Anyway, I have an extra keyboard laying around so i decided to modify it the same theme as the computer

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    I didn't relabel the keys because i think that the ??? theme would fit it completly in which the user has to guess where the keys are if he doesnt know already.

    Another plan im thinking is to label ? on all of them. The only problem i have with this is to make them all perfect ? and look exactly the same.

    what do you guys think?
