Default The path that my PC has taken.

The Task: To turn a pathetic PC case into something that doesn't look half bad.

I'm sorry I don't have original pictures. I guess I wasn't too proud of it. You'll see the progression though.

And yes, I did sit an external HDD within my PC. I do know that takes away the purpose of having an external, but meh. Something needed to go into those drive bays.

Close enough to original:

With the HDD in there:

And again:

The epic plan:

And here we are now:

Bleh. I see smudges and fingerprints. Wipe it down with some isopropic alcohol.

Question Re: The path that my PC has taken.

Looks supra-hawt! You need to deck out the rest of it though.

Maybe cut away the side of it and add some plexiglass and some really sweet ass blue neon lights?

Thanks.

That's part of the plan, but I don't currently own a dremel/cbf buying one/don't know anyone who has one. So it's a long-term plan to save on buying a new case. Also, I already have a couple of blue cold cathodes in there, and they look alright.

This is kinda like ricing a computer out. You have the stickers, the cold-air intake and the 'neon' lights. How are you going to incorporate a wing into it?

Pretty much, yeah.

And the handmade window.

The point I was trying to make was that I was surprised at how much it ended up looking like the plan, when I drew that 'plan' before I even knew what I was going to do with it.

Meh.

Your turn.
