Onward and upward.

Picture of the preparation of the side panel for the custom print!



tools needed, squeege, felt squeege for after decal is installed so as to not scratch it after the pre-mask is removed, knife, new blades, and spray bottle.





the print before application:



and the side panel after installation:



then the panel installed on the computer!





Here in the front panel, we see the fan controller and underneath the three switches that control the cold cathodes, and the strobes!



then some inside shots, both graphics cards installed, and the other part of the print matching mounted to the inside of the back panel, to bring the "COSMIC" effect into the case, going along with the matching black hardware, and metallic black paint on the inside of the case!











Notice how the small prints mounted on the graphics cards match the main print too!



Next posts will be tomorrow, some full exterior and interior shots, another little mod to the inside, to highlight the print on the graphics cards, and hopefully some movies highlighting the overall lighting effects!

Enjoy for now!

dude, that's a kick ass side panel. Got mixed feelings about it on the video card, but the side panel rocks!

I did not get the video card either till i saw the side panel again, makes sense though, matching them and all. And getting rid of the red sticker is good. Supposed to look like an nviida card not an ATi card :p

TRUE bugs me a bit (I am a little "monk"ish.) but you could always just straighten it up for pics

the card doesn't look bad, don't want you to get the wrong idea. Maybe me personally I rather it without it, but it doesn't look bad, just a matter of personal taste you know. However, the whole theme is cool, matching it and all.

About the cooler, yeah bro just straighten it up for pics and twist it when not in Photography Mode

No I did not get the wrong idea, it takes more than that to insult me or anything, I understand it is personal taste, and appreciate everyone's comments. See above about my thoughts on the cooler.

Yeah I understand about the TRUE, but the way I look at it, more important for me to be crooked in the pics, the way it is supposed to be, then compromising my cooling by continuously swiveling the cooler compromising the thermal compound

I understand on the video card too, alot of what I do is personal taste, I try and make it appealing to everyone, and modders will respect it as can most for the time and effort involved, but I do not expect everyone to like everything about it.

But thanks for the props, I appreciate it, sooooo much time involved!
