The big red monster I'm still working on...
I'm not sure if you'll see it in the pictures, but it has gold handles, gold expansion plate (where expansion cards connect to), gold metal plate for mounting the HD's and CD-ROM's. Also, its modded with 120mm fan in back and a 120mm fan (radiator is in the picture) in front.

I have 3 UV cathodes anf 1 blue. I think the blue is off in most of the pics. I used a couple different UV reactive paints on the cards and such.

I had drawn a pic for my tattoo back in the early 90's (Pearl Jam days) and thought that would make an awesome window. Spent about 50 hours trying to get just an outline of it. Got it perfected and took it to A-Z Manufacturing in Independence MO and had them do it with a big ole 2000watt laser! Be careful of the guys using under 1500watt ones for aluminum and under 1000 for steel. They dont cut it as pretty and can melt the aluminum instead of cutting it.
I had the plexi etched with the detail of the bulldog by PCMutants. They're a great place to buy everything. The worst problem is that they don't update their site often so u have to call to find out if they have what your looking for, but they're almost always the cheapest in town AND they have free shipping.
Thanks for the compliments!
By the way, check out the fan grills with the lights on and then off! I found that paint at http://www.clearneon.com
 
OK

Here's an update to GrunT the CasE. He's now liquid cooled.

All temps F, Obviously

Asus A7V266-E, XP1900@1800 1.85v, GF3 @ 237/535, WD 7200 80GB

H2O / OCZ Goliath w/Delta 80mm
Room 75 / Same
Ambient case 78 / 83
Idle 92 / 133
Full load 98 / 148
GF3 f load 106 / 111
bridge 96 / 101
hdd 86 / 95

By removing the heat from the hsf, It improved all my temps greatly. Without making any changes to my settings, My 3DMark score went up 300. After some tweaking, I'm now getting 8606. Not bad for an XP1900 with GF3. I need a new board! My ASUS doesn't like to go over 150fsb. I think I'll try the Epox.
 
I just painted my drives today. Right now, I've got my CDRW and my SuperDisk in there now. If you can, I would try to get a charcoal colored paint, as you can see the black is too dark. Kinda ****es me off, but it looks better than have beige/white bezels.

The following case is 12 x 10 x 6 inches in size, weighs 10 pounds, and I custom made it's case from Polycarbonate Plastic (Lexan).
The 300W 1U power supply is sitting on the right hand side.

Well, sence cruzin the forums, Iv desided to do a few mods myself. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas everyone. I started with just a simple paint job and adding some fans in the side. Watercooling, a window, and lights r next. I have some design ideas for building a case, that will come later. I also am going to do the HD window mod along with the cdrom.

and the other side... the case is gloss black and the bezel is a hammered med metalic blue... looks alot better then in the pictures...

the seperation lines between the bezel and side panels must be glare from the flash... I also have the fan guards installed.. looks better..

i forgot to mention the black fades into the blue on the sides of the bezel... well, I guess you can see that in the pic's...

A Friend of a Friend wanted a gaming system built for as little Ca$h as possible. At the same time I was looking into upgrading my computer so I cut him a deal on the parts (I was upgrading anyways). He gave me full authority to do whatever I wanted to the case in order to make it as PhAt as it can get for CheAp. It includes a "D" shaped window, a Window on and above the DVD drive, a front intake, LED lighting, 2 Chromed fans and One White fan, Matching keyboard, Matching mouse, AND matching speakers.

Sorry, I didn't get any pictures in the dark, my digital camera sucks at those.

Total cost to customer = $560
Total cash in my pocket afterwards = $240
Getting payed to mod = Priceless
 
New LAN rig

Woohoo! I got a power sander last week and sanded down my $10 Steel LAN case and now I don't want to paint it because I fell in love with the "delorian" look of the naked steel.

The whole case is only 12" x 15" x 3.5" and will soon house a mobile gaming system. Temporarily outfitted with Celeron 300@600, 128MB RAM, 10GB HDD. In September it might switch to a Duron 900 and 256MB PC2100 DDR. But that depends on how much I enjoy the current setup which is completely silent.

I'll add the blacklight and windows soon.
