that is of the little things that go in the back if you dont have a card in there... the blue shows up on the inside and the black on the out side.

this picture is of the case itself, and it isnt as light asit shows in the picture the flash just made it a bit brighter than it really is...or how room has it showing up.

i will get the pictures of the back, and pictures with the computer in there..i just havnt gotten those yet. the back is black to match the rest of the outside of the case, and i made the inside blue to match the blue theme i guess you would call it i have going on for my computer. oh and ill get the pictures of the mouse here soon too.

Hey I like the color choice... Thats looking real good. What is the rounded part at the top of the case? Is that where the fan goes are something like that? OK, now that you started you will have to keep posting and keep us updated. The color scheme looks to be Black & Blue, will you name your Project??

Here's a obvious Name.. BRUISER;)

Very nice work. Even if you had f'ed it up a little, you can always chalk it up to experience. Heaven knows how many times I've done that. Good job though. What was the process? Did you sand the bare metal first? I can't wait to see the whole thing assembled. :cool:

ok im a little embarised to show this one but i have to...there are quite a few things that i need to do to this part of my case, i am going to cut a blow whole in the front at the bottom, just because i need mroe flow...i also need to repaint all the drives and my reset button, i was just to lazy to do so yet. and im going to make the cd drive stelf. dont laugh to hard at it...

this is just the top where i added my switch for the cold C's inside. it comes in very handy, i didnt want to put it on the bottom, so i put it on the top to be cool like that.

now you can see the back from this picture. and just another picture of the inside. once i get a dremel im going to cut the air vent and just put something else on there so i get some better flow.

well this is the inside with my wireing job, its not the greatest but i tried. i think i am going to try and find some sleves and put that on there but i dont know where i can get them(any one help me out theree?) its not to shabby just needs a bit of touch up.

and there ends the second set of pictures. i dont want to show you my window, because my paint job is just scary...the paint all chipped off and i cant sand if level to get it looking good. do you guys have any tips for that? thanks! tell me what you think i should do to make it look better.

TAZTG - both grills are for fans. i just need to cut them out.
RobsMob - i just used that fusion stuff, and it worked great. it said no need for sanding or priming so i didnt...

It looks good. The wiring is well done. To get the panel flat and ready for painting... You need to get a sanding block, and wet sand that puppy. Start with 220 Grit or even lower to take the paint off. Then work up to 1000 grit to get it smooth. 220, 400, 600, 1000 is all you need and depending on how rough it looks you could probably skip the 400. I like the Blue alot looks sharp..
