Hey guys whats up? I've been away from the O/C's.com forums for awhile because I have been working over at Virtual-Hideout.net
My case right now is pretty plain... It is the Cheiftech Matrix (full-tower) case, and its just beige in color. The hardware inside is pretty nice though (check out my sig). So I decided I wanted to do a little modding to my case. I won't be able to do all of it myself, but what I can - I will do.
I have a friend who owns an airbrush shop up in NH. He is so awesome at what he does, check out his website at www.airbrushunderground.com - Anyway, I am going to have him give my case a whole new paint job. I found a pic I liked and went and photoshopped it onto my case. Here is what I ended up with:
BEFORE:
PHOTOSHOP PREVIEW OF AFTER:

I decided I wanted to find some sponsors for the case, so I started asking around. I ended up finding people to "donate" the following things:
+ Cheiftech Full Tower Window Kit
+ Hardcano 8 Baybus
+ Blue UV dye for water-cooling
+ Two UV cold cathodes
I was going cut the plexi for the window myself, but when someone offered to send over a $39 window kit, I changed my mind!
I already had someone complain that my case is going to be "too pre-modded", but I think it's going to turn out nice. I'm having my friend do the airbrush work, but I would do it myself if I was as good as him.
Anyway, you guys think it will look good? The window kit is on its way to me right now, then after I install it, I will be shipping the case off for its paint job. I'll post updates as it comes along...
By the way, if any merchants out there want to "donate" parts/supplies for this project, I will post a big "thank you" w/ your link when I write up the final article for Virtual-Hideout.net!
