WWF Royal Rumble Case mod

[itsbrad]

Well Im a dork and love wrestling. I have a 1996 Royal Rumble Pinball machine and want to incorporate it into my PC case. This will basically be a visual job not so much changing the case but changing the way it looks via vinyl or whatever.

Here are some pictures of the pinball machine...

Basically I want to take the backglass image and somehow transfer it to vinyl and have that be on the side of the case. Other than that I dont know what I want to do with the case. Anyone have any ideas? The case will be beside the pinball machine so I wanted it to match or at least have the theme...Any ideas are appreciated!

I know this is more engineering than you had in mind, but here is an idea. And it is themed:

OHHHHH I may have to steal that and use it! That would be CRAZY but Id have no idea on where to start, using wood I would guess it would be possible. That is a good idea and I appreciate you posting it! Here are some pics of the case that I will be using.

Thanks

Ok i did a quick photoshop job and here is what I came up with....

No problem, go ahead and use it, I drew it for you. I think it would be fairly easy to build for the most part with some tricky areas but if you pulled it off it would be cool as hell.

yea dude sick concept...but 1 thing i think should be included in all custom built cases is drive stealthing. and yes wood will be nice..even nicer would be yellow and red acrylic but thats tybrenis's area.

Dang it guys, now I want to build it. I may start taking some measurements and see what I can come up with Maybe Ill make a small model out of aspen wood tommorrow and see what it looks like...

HaHaHa...The bug strikes another! I can help you design it and work out the structural stuff, I am fairly good with that. Lots of other folks here can help with the rest. Glad you liked it.

Cool idea. I've been a wrestling fan for a long time. Hope you do the photo-shopped version justice, looks awesome.

Doing it in anticipation of June's ECW One Night Stand.

Hahaha no I didnt, but that would be a cool case. I like all the different possibilities youve considered. THe window etching will be bad!!!
Nah this case Ive wanted to do something wrestling themed for awhile, and since Ill be moving the desk and computer down to the game room, where it will be beside the pinball machine, I figure I might as well make it fit in down there...
