Might be able to do something with more "pop" if you were to use automative pinstsriping to outline the flames????

just my 2 pennies....there are alot of options with colors and textures with pinstriping, plus it comes in any width up to like 2' wide.

I'll take as many pennies as I can get...

The more I do this (PC mods) the more I hear that the automotive industry provides the best tools and applyable products for PC modding. I should spend more time perusing my local auto parts store... Thanks for the heads up...

yeah automotive is good but still limited obviously i've seen some stuff you did on that firefighter case mod that came out awesome..i think if you got a airbrush kit and went at it you might be a natural..im a tattoo artist and also a painter (airbrush,brush,spray) and i do custom stuff on peoples equipment all the time (computers guitars cars etc) and man the way you can get flames to look with a nice fade is nothing any automotive store can give you...unless its just a decal

I'll have to pick up a kit. I actually already have a small air compressor. (1 gallon tank) Maybe with your expertise, you could provide a direction as to what brands are good/bad? Possibly a tutorial (preferrably free) on the web somewhere?

I appreciate the positve feedback on the Firefighter case.

Random Update

This past weekend didn't allow me much time to work on the mod as next weekend is when we are having our Halloween party. I spent most of it building the dance floor in the back yard and other assorted party-related odd jobs. (Raking, running extension cords, running speaker wire and the obligitory "Dog Sh*t Treasure Hunt" so our guests don't step on a land mine... :eek: ) I did, however, get a fine tipped black paint marker. I have started making the separation line between the pink and the green. It's slow going with the other projects that are taking precidence right now. I hope to make some healthy progress with it tomorrow, as the local forecast calls for showers. I hope to be able to post some new pics possibly tomorrow night.

Better Late Than Never.....

As promised, I have some pics of the finished side panels. Now that those are done the only thing left to paint is the front bezel itself. I will most likely start the bezel sometime next week.

that looks damn good!
the only thing i would have done different is also outline the flames with the black so that where they overlap there's a sort of divider.
and now that the side panels look so nice the drive bay covers look plain, lol.

Hence, the need to paint some flames on the bezel itself. I think I'm going to do something with the area the power and reset buttons reside in.

The Party Is Over.....

Well, the Halloween Party was a giant success. We maybe had 30 people (including the children of guests that showed...) here last night. We had spotlights, moving prism lights, a laser light, fog machines, a dance floor, outdoor speakers connected to the garage juke-box and all of the lumber / equipment / decorations / tarps / etc.. were either already owned by me or donated free of charge for the party. The whole thing was held in the back yard. With New England weather the way it is we needed to put up tarps to keep the rain off our party-goers. My yard looked like a cross between a refugee camp and a Pink Floyd concert. Needless to say I spent my morning hung over and taking down all the stuff. Since the party is over, I can finally spend some time figuring out what I am going to paint on the front bezel. I have attached a pic of the dance floor prior to completion. (I added "Happy Halloween" in the center in red.) Enjoy...

Stalled Project...

Well, Winter is officially upon us here in the Northeast. The snow is flying, the kids are home from school and my garage/workshop is essentially a giant freezer. Until I can find the funds for a viable heating solution, the paint mod is on vacation. I was hoping to get some progress done on it over the past few weeks but life has a funny way of getting REALLY busy prior to the holidays.... I'll post an update when I actually make some progress, but I wouldn't hold my breath because it may be a while before that happens...

As Done As It's Gonna' Get

Well, I know it's been a while since my last update. The holiday season has brought with it some changes. My daughter has taken to using my wife's computer and as such, my wife has all but abandoned her PC. Once the kids get a hold of it, that's it. My wife is now on a "I want a laptop" kick. So, as a result, I am sending the painted PC over to my other daughter (She lives with her mother... Long story. I won't bore you with it here) as she shares a PC with her family. Also, my den is looking a bit too cluttered these days. That being the case, this will be the last post to this project log. I have posted some pics of the final product and will be posting it on the "Case Gallery" within the hour.

I would like to thank those of you who posted advice and helpful comments. I truly appreciate it. Until the next time....

I know everyone here is gonna hate me but I think it looks horrible. I would however like to give you some advice:
1. Work on the coloring on the flames. (its hard matching more than 3 different colors)
2. You could have worked on the paint on the 5.25/3.25 drive bays, it looks really repetitive and almost reminds me of the corny vinyl stickers often seen on the back of SUV's. (although I do appreciate the time you spent on the side panel, it looks great:))
I would however give you an A for effort. Anyone that takes the time to custom paint their case gets my respect.

Thank you for your "A". I must admit though, I am a bit confused about your review. It seems caustic and congratulatory at the same time. (I think it looks horrible = caustic / I do appreciate the time you spent on the side panel, it looks great = congratulatory) Another thing, on helpful advice #1, I'm curious to know where I'm matching more than three colors....
...and on a final note, if you read the entire worklog you would have understood that this project was cut short. Although there was more detail planned for this mod, due to constrictions of time, space and inclement New England weather, it just did not happen.
