    Default My first Try at modding

    Soo this wil be my first project and proberly the most learningsome
    ill be making a photo movie or something like that that will show the entire *build. ill also add 2 pics with this post to show the case at the moment
    i must say that this is just the best case to mod, perfect standard size.
    45cm long 40cm high and 20cm width.
    it will become a case with cut out biohazard signs and the text Anthrax painted in green on de side and top, also i will chance every led in my case for brigth/dark green led's make green led's shine trough the cut out signs
    anyways for me its the first time so i can need all the help from the pro's and the less pro's *everybody is better then me *

    *im just modding not building a new case
    Pics:
    The case normaly


    Opened


    Running, Gonna chance the blue led's for green ones


    The Sides come off as well as the top.


    AntraxLife,
    Hope you guys can give me all the tips i need
    *first one i need: what kinda stuff you use to paint your case*base colour?
    *second one i need: How do you cut your things out of your side''panels'' without a little disk grinder?

    Nice cat!


    A) A good brand spray can. I use to paint with duplicolor (car stuff paint), but others are ok also.
    B)A dremel-alike tool. But also files, saws and others

    B) Dont-fear inhere even used a hammer and a screw driver. but a dremel like thingie or a jigsaw is prefered
    is that a 120.9 raddy on your case, or are you just happy to see me?

    Default First try: Project-Anthrax

    ok so im new around here and ready to start my first mod
    if youre wondering who i am: check the topic about introducing yourself, im in that one

    So my idea was simple: mod my current computer
    > http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/f...422#post243422

    i was kinda going for painting it black with green*virus like green* Biohazard symbols on the sides and the top...
    but i came with better ideas when i was beginning
    at the moment im actualy cutting,drilling,sawing and trying everything i can to get the symbol *Biohazard one* on the top of my computer out.
    im almost done with that and i'll be posting some pics soon
    im also replacing all of the blue led's in my pc for green once's so there will be green ligth comming out of the top
    once i am started you'll catch the idea but for now you all have to waite for some pic's and update's

    I got one question about painting: i got some mat black paint in a can but what do i need to do before i paint it?
    i took some pic's that will be in the next post

    Heya! Welcome to the forum! I am looking forward to your first project

    As for your question, Commando did a Spraypainting 101 video. The video doesnt work in the thread he made. But I found it on youtube for you.
