Ahh I see, well when I played it and its not really a "Mortal Kombat Game" its more of like marvel vs capcom thing like a meeting of worlds . You should rent it at least for a night. Blockbuster does the $1 rentals for overnight.

LOL similar, Danke very much.


Hi everyone,

Im really excited, I got the lighting for the case and some more parts too, also finished cutting and cleaning up the hole to the case. The whole project is starting to come together and form nicely now that the hard part is over with. Makes me happy now that I get to do the fun things to it.

Here is a idea I would to do with the case also:

1) Airbrush art (have many ideas floating around) to the flat side panel The airbrush idea is not going to consume the whole panel just a portion.


Now for the mini update

I took a pic of the cut hole. It looks ok I guess, could be better. What do you think ?



Now here are the goodies!





My CCFL's above (blue of course)




Above, these are for the RAM they go on top and create a real cool light effect (like las vegas)



Above, these go in the 4pin periperials and light it up. really cool .






Above the extenders for the pwr supply connections. 24 PIN, 8 pin CPU, and 4 PIN molex. All sleaved and changed the mobo connector end of the cable to black connectors ends. These came unsleaved and had white connector ends.

Thanks everyone for viewing and giving feedback and opinions if you have time.

Happy New Year !

Sorry for the long break, but been busy with work and home tasks. So for anyone watching or curious bout my project check back in a little while i'll have it updated.

Thanks everyone.

Default Finished-- for now.

Hi all,

Well it has been a pleasent time doing this case and a lot of time and effort for the paint job which I think totally changes the apperance of it. It is now up and running as we speak. I want to thank all who commented and repped me on my project, Also any of you who were following it along the way.

A little history about me, the reason why my log is here at OCN is because a member/friend here suggested I put my work on the forums since he thought it was really good and though it would help people and they would enjoy it. I wasnt planning on doing any of that, I was just going to keep it in my house and take it to a couple of lan party's and such. Im am glad my friend said something because it is a decent place here and I enjoy this site and did not think I would get as much of the positive feedback as I recieved. Thank you everyone .


Here is the start of the assembly adventure, Lots and lots of wires, yay.



After much planning, manuvering, routing, pluging and unpluging wires/cables and hours of fitments. Here it is the cable managed interior of Blue Light District.



Now for some more interior pictures. I have wired various Mobo connectors, 2 HDD's 1 CD drive, 1 Xtra-bright cathode, 4 led fans and 1 non-led fan, and 1 led module with a wired switch.

I dont know about you but that is lot of wires to hide and route to make it look clean and neat. It literally took me hours fo figure out where to put cables/wires and make it all fit pleasently and still allow me to access the ones it need easily. Lets take a closer look to see if it came out ok.









That will have to do for now, because that is the best it is going to get.

Now for the outside pictures, I detailed the whole case by buffing and polishing it off with Meguiars carnauba wax. Placed a few case badges on for Intel Core2 Quad and Arctic Cooling and called it a day for now.

I attempted to get the case in the sunlight as to see the metallic effect but that didnt work . So here it is:













Now for the Main Event , The nighttime unveiling of Blue Light District !!!! Drum roll please lolz --- .











So that is the end of this half of the show, Blue light will now take a halftime break. lol. Thank you for watching. Blue light district likes comments and feedback.

I need to find out now how to put a video on here to show all of you how the lighting effect looks with the led's and such. So I going to post away here I see people do it with wmv files and they play right in the post. So I'll be back... I hope you will to see the full motion video of it in action.

Thank you, thanks very much , Actually you'll be suprised to hear they work out Great in fact , with the negative pressure of air flowing in the case its like a vacuum and im running in the 26-28 celcius range right now for cpu and 25 (c) for a case temp.
