L'Amour means love in french... Yes, how very sappy of me =P
This is my first mod. I'm sure a few of you have seen my idea and design for this posted in the Idea Zone forum, and now I've actually started working on it! Advice is still needed and greatly appreciated though.
I'm starting out with a Thermaltake Soprano. I've taken a photo where you can clearly see the windowed side, front, and top. (The old hunk o' junk in the background is my current case)
I plan on doing a garden/floral themed mod. It'll have a 'garden' on the top featuring a gem tree (or a pretty tree of some description), a pond and the USB ports which you can see on the top will be incorporated into a rockery type thing. The window will have a metal tree design and floral designs painted onto the inside of the plexi. The front panel will also have a metal floral or tree design, fitting the curves. Here is my original design. It has been slightly modified since (mainly the inclusion of a pond on the top, which hasn't been drawn onto the plan).
Anyway, I finally got time to go supply shopping this morning, and I bought a bunch of stuff, mainly for the garden. I bought this absolutely massive piece of foam for the base, and started gluing grass and rocks onto it. Here's a few pics. It's obviously only in its beginning stages.
Yes, I forgot to dig into the foam to make the pond, so I'm just kind of building everything up around it...
I still haven't been able to find a gem tree! I've checked Tree of Life, heaps of gem and gift shops, but nowhere has them. Does anyone know where I could be able to get one?
I also bought the LEDs from Dick Smith Electronics today. I also have some problems concerning these. There are 3 of them -
5mm High Intensity
4500mcd Super Red LED
is what it says on the packet. But I have no idea how I'd connect them to everything to make them work. Can anyone help me out with this?
