SR-71 case
ok this an HP case. im going to mod it into a SR-71 blackbird themed case
dark red and black will be the colors, im adding an 80 mm fan ( preferably a turbine fan) and a grill type thing in the front( a modified A/C vent) in the front. on the side, im going to paint some designs. no windows or light however, to maintain the "stealth" theme. but, if you have any ideas feel free to say them, ive only cut the front area for now.

Re: SR-71 case
ah cool. I love the SR-71, my favorite plane ever. Way ahead of its time, I actually have reprint of a painting of one in my room :p. What kind of paint are you planning on?
Also, you might want to look a the SR-71 and see if there are any other design elements you want to incorrporate into the case, thats one amazing aircraft with alot of sweet lines to follow.
Re: SR-71 case
I say, unless you really want to spend a lot of time and money on the front alone, don't bother with the blowhole. For amateurs (i found out the hard way), it's alot of hard work that you have to assume where to go. Trust me. I'm already on that road.

If you want an aircraft that was really ahead of its time check this out: http://www.avroarrow.org/index1.htmOriginally Posted by Aero

Anyway I think the SR-71 is a great subject for a case mod. Of course as Aero said you will really have to get the paint spot on if you want it to really look like the Blackbird. Oh and FYI the SR-71 isn't painted black, it is actually an extremely dark shade of blue (although you could just do the case in flat black). I don't know how you'll get the colour, but if you do it will be awesome!

Re: SR-71 case
umm looks like your gonna have a vent on top. FTW= for the win, by any chance? =D

Re: SR-71 case
I saw your theme and your ideas and I was a little inspired. I drew this up, think of it as concept art.
