    This is a tribute to His Infernal Majesty as the title suggests.
    The band has been a long time favourite of mine and I thought that this old server would be the perfect candidate for the themed mod.

    My ideas as follows, 2x 92 mm blowhole at the front and a custom 120 mm fanhole and grill over it and a giant plexi heartagram over the 92 mm fans,a thermo temp reader thingy. Purple paint some windows and a whole lot of etching.

    VICTIM...

    Back to the front panel....sanded the primer with 1000 grit about 10 times, washed after each coat and cleaned (to remove dust)
    then purple coat about 5 times and 2 clear coats...

    this pic is of the power led and hdd led put into a clear acrylic rod and then i used audio cabling stuff and carefully cut out the word H I M into it fit it over the acrylic rod, drilled the tips and put the leds in, so when the case is powered up the hdd led and power leds flash and the HIM words light up.

    It took about a month to complete, and you'll notice there's no hardware, case modding tends to drain the wallet somewhat so i usually dont add hardware, im all about the modding of the case and not the hardware, but one day i hope to be about both of them.

    That 'heartogram' on the front looks a bit flimsy, like someone would knock it and it would snap. Otherwise good work. Theres some great etching there.

    What a tribute! IMO that is one of the best "tribute" cases I've ever seen! Do you happen to have the pictures you engraved in JPEG or something? Cause I really want some of the ideas off of those pics! They'd also be excellent as a background for the PC..... :D

    You do realise that HIM haven't been known as His Infernal Majesty since at least 1995. ;)
