    no offence.... but that first one looks very amateurish. :eyebrow:

    but that second one, thats some decent work, its really asking for a paintjob though!

    you site is offline, i guess due to the crap host and bandwidth excess.

    use http://www.uploadit.org to host some pictures and then you can show them off in a post, rather then linking to that website.

    GNU nader, why do you think the 1st one is a little"amateurish?" It is just my "power pc". Nothin fancy.

    We purposely sanded the acrylic instead of painting it. Why do some of you suggest a paint job? what color would i use anyway?

    for your first pc, it would look better if everything (cd-roms, etc) were painted the same color.

    for the second pc... that's not what i would call a nice finish. don't get me wrong, both of them are pretty good. they could just use a few things here and there...

    Um, how do you make a clean ice cube bacon?

    One thing you could do is put an LCD in the cube and have part of the "frost" cover the edges of the monitor...so you're looking at the LCD through the ice.

    And may I suggest moving your "power pc" components into your ice cube? After all, a modded case is only as good as it's parts, imo.

    Great job on the cube...any project log pics? The more advice I can get on bending plexi the better.

    I think you guys should lay up a little.

    Personally, I think the ice cube look is a good one.

    On the shots of the corners it does look like a large, fuzzy ice cube.

    Maybe put a pulsing blue LED array in the middle? ;)
