took a couple hrs with a dremel but I think it was worth it

I was gonna say that looked like a UT logo...

Very nice but either try to get the edges a little cleaner or use some kind of molding around the edges

Sand the edges with a file, it will take another couple of hours but it will look so smooth.

Great first cut though.

Yeah get some sanding going on...

Also you should get it lit up :)


And how about some resising and [img] codes.

lol yeah I guess I can get the images resized and add the image code to them the side panel its done on is a spare to a junk case, so I will be recutting and fixing some problems with the final product although I have the ut2004 logo to go on a case also.

thinking of adding the amd logo on the case side as well in the corners idk yet.

any other logos that would look cool on a case?

i'd like to see pics when your done. i had a shuttle sn41g2 back in the day that i did the same thing to, on both sides of the small case. i also airbrushed it blue and put a handle on it. go Unreal fans!

You dremeled the edge out of that panel? Aw.. I suggest you use a jigsaw. It was perfect for my project Pi case mod, edges came out perfect, even before filing them a bit. Barely had to, even.

Jigsaws are good for curving, while dremels are not.

You can look at the cut on my Pi case here (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=552345). :)

Second that, a jig saw will do a damn perfect job and probably take a fraction of the time too!
