Project Rising

I thought it would be neat to make a case off of one of the coolest games for the original Xbox- Advent: Rising. Here's a few of my inspirations-

I've already started on the design. For the front, I will have a circular brushed aluminum look (looks good already, just need to clear coat it), orange lighted accessories, some orange and black paint, and the logo on the front. I think it'll turn out good.

Looks like some cool ideas to work with, lets see what you come up with!

Dont' forget the obligitory xBox controller to USB mod, complete with paintjob and whatnot.

lol. That's not too bad of an idea. I could wire it into the PC :p.

I'm gonna get some pictures either today or tomorrow. The finish on the front's going well, just need to clear coat it with either poly or acrylic.

Got the PSU painted black :>. Here's some pics:

I watched and watched that game from when it was first announced to when it finally came out. It was pretty good. I like the references to Ender's game in the game. Good choice for a mod.

I have a few ideas for the case now. Have the logo on the shiny aluminum in the middle of the front, and etched into the side plexi. Have a cutout of the funky "A" symbol on the top in front of the PSU (for a fan). Make a custom plastic front panel shaped with some bondo and aluminum wiring. Also have my wireless xbox controller to PC mod hidden inside of the PC.

Base coat: Dark Blue
Accents: yellow & orange
Inside: Silver
PSU: blue-black
