Custom Cube Part Deux (56k Be Afraid)

[hainer36]

Ya, i added some french to the title, whatcha gonna do? im canadian, i know a little french :D

Well anyways, my friend saw the case that i built for myself, and since he has more money than brains he wanted me to build him one.

I wont post the design or the actual case, as it is in my other log in my sig, but i will tell ya the jist of it

Colour- Metallic Blue, with a clear coat on top (first time, i didnt need one)
Fans- alot of 120's, i might sell him some of my deltas, but i love em too much
Cooling- Air
Parts- Dont need to know, or im too lazy, you pick

So anyways, it was a perfect Canadian Day to start the mod:

my powerful screwdriver, with a cutting disk on it, dremels wear out too fast, so i made this. oh ya, notice the counterweight :D:

safety first (remember to always wear safety goggles, ear muffs, and even your own glasses, especially if the cutting disk is near the face):
