Good spray job on the interior. It is very hard to spray gloss on a case and you did stay with the theme. Keep the theme in mind through out the build and happy modding.. Post more picts.

Ok i have made some progress here. I finished cutting out the side panel and then also did a second coat of the case. its looking really good but now i need to wait till next week to start the face. that is going to be hectic. Making a face from scratch. im not to sure how im going to attach it yet. i might just cut off the old clips and glue them on. I will have to see when i get there.

Lightbulb Update of planning for the face.

Ok i have done some planning for my face.
Here is a pic of what my idea is going to be. the hole in the front and trim along the sides are all going to glow red. i have 50 red LED's to go mad with there so i think it'll look really awesome when complete.

Cool Update

Ok I have Ordered the Acrylic for the face of the case, cut to size so its pretty much just welding it together and then modding it. I will also try to get the acrylic for the side window which will be tinted red. I have gone and cut out the fan covers on the case and sanded them (paying alot more attention to the back fan as that will be visible). once i get the acrylic i am going to start updateing more regularly as i will be working on it alot more.

Until tomorrow.

Im think of changing the Project name to "The ATI Project" as me and my friend are ATI fans i think it would be cool then put an ATI logo in the front mesh.

Please comment, Good idea/Bad Idea.

Thanks

Sorry, no update. The acrylic i order they did not have ready. The side panel window that i want a red tint on they dont have in the stock and wont order until they have a bigger order(sigh). so the front should be ready by Monday so i will update on Tuesday again then with the front panel being glued. Hope ill get a bit more of a response then.
