    I go to a small Christian School in Mobile, Alabama called the University of Mobile (go figure). 99.99% of the people here don't know what case modding is.

    awesome man!!...clean and simple....very slick...great job!!
    where are you?

    fact: different = abnormal
    observation: everyone is different, therefore everyone is abnormal
    conclusion: there is no normal, express yourself

    really nice paint... i was disapointed with how my paint turned out... i dont know if its because the paint i have is top notch or i just suck at painting... did you just use some $4 spray paint for metal or did you find some special stuff?

    i just cant figure out why everyone who paints theirs on the work logs gets such great results... ive had my fair share of spray painting too...

    I used $4-5 duplicolor acrylic enamel. I had a lot of trouble at first too, and like I said once piece didn't turn out so good you juest can't tell in the pics. With spray can acrylic enamels (which I perfer right now) you have to spray it on very thick because if you don't the paint dries too quick and makes the finish hazy. I found when using this paint it also seemed to help a lot to lay each piece flat and then spray (helps to prevent running and evens out the paint). Hope that helps.

    *Update* My musketeer2 should hopefully arrive before the week's end and if so I plan to install it and also a couple cold cathodes on a rocker switch. Both my cables for the power supply and my IDE cables are silver but supposedly glow light blue under UV, anyone think that I should put a UV cold cathode in there on a rocker as well? Also does anyone know much about the modibility (is that a word?) of a musketeer2?

    Awesome job, especially for a first timer! I love the color and it's painted on really well. The bleck mesh on the side panel looks just awesome, I love it's simplicity.
