| The Chrome front fan hole cover was custom drawn then cut from flat sheet metal, sanded and prebent before it went off to be chrome dipped. It took about 5 hours of prep time pre-chrome to make it look like this. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A neat shot of the front with all the blue lights. The HDD light didn't show up well cause it was blinking on and off when the picture was shot. The blue lighting effect thru the front fan is alot brighter at night with the lights off but you can most certainly see the mirror finish of the chrome plating and get a idea of how neat the lighting effects of this machine are. |

Sideshot of the bordered side window with the blue light on. The flash of my camera dims the blue by about 1/2 it's normal effect. The border around the chromed side panel took forever to cut, drill, paint and mount but the effect was well worth it imho. The window is lexan. You can see inside the case I've used wire loom to cover most of the wires. I also used matching blue rounded cables for the looks and they do help promote better airflow in the case. All in all it took over 50 hours from concept to completion and alot of cash to buy all the parts. |
