Very nice work!
How did you mount the 2nd doorpull to the fan?
I like the use of the lion knockers and the paint job very much.
Did you use some thicker beading type paint as an outline for the paint on top and the side? It looks 3d to me.

Only improvement I would make would be the sleeving. I don't like the white electrical tape, but I understand why you'd use it.

Thanks, the door pull is attached to the fan grill using the screw and washer that came with it, I just trimmed it down to size with my dremel. For the top and side design I used more coats of paint to make it pop out, I outlined both designs with an Elmers Opaque paint marker. I would have used white sleeving but when I installed the parts last week the cables stood out to much I had to come up with a quick solution and found a roll of white electrical tape in my toolbox and used it.

I gotta say, I really like what you did with that Antec case. Iv got 2 of those cases sitting around here, would be nice if they looked like yours. Very good job with it, and im sure your sister is extremely happy with it.

The white interior against the black looks great!

wow you did alot of work and it looks great! The power supply sleeving looks ghetto, but oddly i like it... Love all the pictures, great work bro!

I really cant say im a fan of this. the good points are the white painting, you did a pretty good job on that and the cable management is pretty good

the bad points:
the 'sleeving' is kinda tacky, the colour scheme is all over the place, and the stenciling is, well, terrible. oh and the door knocker things....just no.

sorry if it sounds harsh, but its constructive crit.

I never thanked you for the response and tips.

Thanks! Elmer's paint marker, eh? I'll have to look into that.

Still liking the Lions!

@retrogamer - I'm not sure that saying something is "terrible" and something else is "just... no" qualifies as Constructive Criticism. Personal style choices and aesthetic sense, yes.... Usually, constructive crit offers an example of what might be better. Like: This comment is ok, but could be better if you gave some ideas on what the stenciling should have.

Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now.
