and some other stuff! Like lights and paint and stuff. but that aint important!

here is what the case looked like when i first bought it!

the NZXT mid tower case. loved it. with a little work and elbow grease i turned it into this.

i called it the bumble bee!

HOWEVER! shorted out that mother board and cracked the plexi, so i gutted the case, and decided to sell my laptop to ugprade to a better desktop.

I also decided to put a 120mm fan in the top, and take out the window fan.
here is how i got it to look.

and these just came in the mail today! will be assembling it tomorrow with the help from a friend.

not the most detailed worklog out there, but i'll do better next time!

thanks for looking!

and no, i cant figure out why image shack wont rotate my pictures. i'll use photobucket next time.

Great job with the paint job! What's that thing in the bottom used 5.25" bay? It looks like a media card reader, but I can't identify the long bar...a modified DVD drive?

its a cd reader/burner with a 4 in 1 card reader :)

its ghetto painted black :)

Nice. Did you combine them or did it come like that? In the picture it almost looks like brushed black aluminum.

no it came like that! its pretty old, but works awesome.

building tonight! worklog update later on!

Finished!

the parts

IN!

DONE!

Looks good!

thats looks way better. how did you acheive the color changes?

thanks dudes!

for the color changes, its just 2 different 12" LED's. two green and two UV.
