one cool idea imo, would be to have a cord wich dangles inside the case from the top with a smal led wich blinks to make it look really Halflife'isch, you know one of those riped of cords that sparkles it may look cool if its done right, if that is possible..
Im not real big on the green uv ram slots either. But im sure Piloux will find something to do with them. Another thing on those Dfi Lanparty boards. There is 3 or 4 red LEDs under the pci slots when you start up the PC and they are so bright they just about outpower any other light scheme you have in there. There also hard to find, realy small. GL mod on
Hi , thanks for comments the left panel is near to be done first the window : this is made from 6mm lexan/acrylic,I use this stuf because of its special properties which will be usefull next... I then shoot it with my dremel-eagle and of course the bolts : here is it after paintjob and one night drying : here you can see why I use lexan for the windows: in fact it make some nices cracks on the surface when you heat it with a heatgun ; that give it a nice old and damage look see you soon for next pics series
HOW DID I MISS THIS THREAD!!! mmmm whatever i'm here now, a coupleof words, love the case and the idea, cograds about your Valve sonpership (if i may call it that),just an idea is put a some sort of small air pump, get it to pump just a little bit of air into the RES (and only the RES) so that you have a constant "bubbling" effect (thats my thoughts for all there worrth)
i'm starting to have instant pain on my hands when i see al those nails on the sidepanel. I'm so happy that i can borrow an pneumatic one for making my Flightcases (witch uses about 100-170 of them).
Looking good there, piloux! Looking good.... Everyone has said it before, I'm going to say it again, "Congratulations on the Valve recognition and sponsorship!" You da man! Keep it up!
Now, don't get me wrong, this is your design. But, why did you use the standard window/door?? You custom made the ones on your last case, why not do the same here? I'm just curious. Other than that, it's looking like it's going to be another winner.
looks good... arnt u guna rust more of it.. having only the rivits rusted looks kinda weird.. ibut good job.. ill just have to wait untill next time to see the more completed version Keep going
not wantin to blow this whole mod outa the water or anthing, its looking good, but considerin its just for a demo conference, how come they didnt just 'loan' yur blackmesa case for that one event.. or.. are they paying you for this one? just wonderin, cus your first hl2 case was amazing, and without borrowing the ideas from it, its guna be a hard one to beat..
