Maybe once you see the case in person, you will be able to better visualize your ideas.

Like I said before, you should maybe play around with Google Sketch Up. Throw around a few ideas in Sketch Up and think over the idea. If you come up with something better, change it and think over it for a while. Keep looking at what you have so far and look for the good and the bad.

I am kind of in that stage where you are at. I first struggled to find a theme. Then I realized that it wasn't what I really wanted. I'm not saying that those themed mods aren't cool (like the Doom 3 mod) but it just isn't me. In a sense, that is not my style. So as of now, I ended up having a "theme" that is about style and elegance.

I mention this in another post. It is like a choice between a Hummer that is loaded up with everything imaginable or a Lamborghini (or even a BMW). I'd rather take the 2nd choice.

Just my ramblings, lol. I hope that helped in some way.

Jepp .. i want a theme, but not like, a :alien head or plane you know what im saying ? i want the more cooled down theme, youst a tuch of a game or a movie =) something that remindes you of (battlefield 2142) =) .. im trying to make a Battlefield 2142 mod .. but a little bit cool and smooth version .. some lines and effects from the game!

[SnowFox]

you have any ideas for me ? i need ideas to a Battlefield 2142 mod ? black and blue .. i like those colors =)

.. like i said, i like the cooled wersion of modding!

[Silenced_Coyote]

A Battlefield 2142 theme would be awesome!

Here are a few ideas that will hopefully give you some ideas. These are just some quick and random ideas of mine (not a complete mod) so you can do whatever you want with them, like pick a few or none at all.

Custom laser etched window. You could send in any picture and they will laser etch it for you. They can do it 3 different ways - clear so light shines through, not clear so no light comes through (like a black and white phote), or with color.

You could maybe make your front top door look like the front cockpit of this mech. Just the very front piece with the 4 bolts on each corner.

You could make the bottom front like the middle part of this mech that is right above the cannon. It reminds me of those garage doors. Or use it for the top front. You could even make it slide up exactly like a garage door so you can get to your CD drives.http://media.pc.ign.com/media/819/81...g_3748557.html

You could mod the case feet to look like the blue hovering feet mechanisms. Make them light up blue too!

Or make the case feet look similar to any of the feet on the mechs.
