IMPERIAL DEATH CASE EPISODE II: THE CASE STRIKES BACK (higher quality pictures)

Still Jeff! More brightness = mad cool. It would make the whole CPU glow at night if you add wheels to the bottom and a neon on that bottom LOL.

lol @ scrotums.

i see enough civics and integras driving around like that and it bothers me! neons are for signs and computers, not cars

i know more bright would be better but believe me, its fine....for now muhahah. let me finish the computer, watercooling, and raid, and then we'll see how i go in terms of other stuff.

very nice. Some of those pics don't show up. I go to bed every night listening to the star wars theme song. I think it's called About A Girl. May the Force be with you. Anyways, good job on that case. What'd you use to cut out the insignia?

jeff i LOVE it nice job i love the shape on the window kick ***!


now here is my one suggestion. If possible, while it may be a pain in the ***, i think it would look even better if you paint the inside of your case black so you dont see the ugly grey in there.

just an idea. keep up the great work

That's a great mod! It looks very professional.

I have a suggestion for the 'nighttime' pictures, though. It seemed to me that you had your camera set to 'auto-flash' so that when it was dark, it automatically flashed. When your camera is in that mode, the shutter speed/aperture will adjust as it is expecting the flash to light things up better. When you cover the flash manually (with your finger), the picture will turn out overly dark. If you can put your camera in a mode where the flash is forced off, they shutter/aperture will adjust accordingly as it is not expecting the flash to add light, but will take a picture based only on the amount of ambient light and will probably turn out better (brighter).

I would like to see some better pics with the cold cathode light in the dark!

i'm going to borrow my friend's digital camera again to take pictures of my new car, and when i borrow it i'll take a few more, but i don't think there's a way to turn off the flash on his camera. believe me, it looks good, nice and bright

what'd you use to make the edges nice and smooth with no jaggies or scratches? also, how'd you attach the plexi?

 

[Jeff Bolton]

i used a rounded bit with my dremel and basically sanded down the jagged edges carefully. one of the bits came with my tool but my dad used to do mad woodwork and had some bits hanging around that fit into my rotary, so i think i used one of his that was a little more grippy than the one that came with mine. then i used one with less bite to really smooth it out.

to attach the plexi i used liquid nails. awesome stuff!
