Kreij Lives On
I think that @Norton title is good, because we are doing this to remember and honor the memories of a great man that passed way here in tpu.
I'll star the EU KREIJ case maybe in next month.
It will be (something) Dean "Kreij" Kortenhoven edition, a small casemod to remember the "little" cosmos here in techpowerup.

thinking about having this printed on a decal
maby to put on the side of the case

That´s a good idea and if if could remove the background of the picture to remain only Dean in black and white theme would be awesome.

My thoughts, too.
Dean would have gotten a real kick out of this, lol.
 
I tried various ways of cutting the image I could'the get one clean enough with just the fore ground

Could ask @TheMailMan78 he's a wiz around Photoshop, if not I'm happy to cut and feather it out.

crop top and right side. what ever else left will be just background for "white" Deen
 
sent them a email asking if they would do custom sizes
ill have another whack at editing it when the new rig gets in this laptop is way slow for GiMP

This is just plain amazing. So proud to be a part of this community. @OneMoar this just proves that the memorial went to the correct member. :respect:
 
this is what I got now after fiddling around

what do you people think about getting a transparent decal and putting it on the case window perhaps with some LED back-lighting if I put a large one on other side of the case it won't really be visible

That's pretty neat! :toast:

I would hold off on ordering until you have the case in hand so you can test fit a paper copy first to check for proper sizing. ;)

yea was gonna do that anyway :) gotta laso a fellow TPUr todo some editing
@RCoon yo is there any way you can take the deenv2 image and replace the black-boarder with a transparent layer my hands are no-ware near steady enough for that
also if you know any text-effects-fu that would be great I am by no means a artist lol
as @Norton knows I plan to
add my own goodies to it
3GB 7970 ,4 More GB's of Ram for a total of 8 + 128GB SSD for it in-hand by the end of the week provided the rest of it gets here by then
:roll:

of course ill re-donate the unused parts back to you for use in the next give away + some of the stuff I have sitting around doing nothing so the odds of having another system to give away are very very good :rockout:
for those of your that read the spoiler there will of course be a Upgrade log and some decent photos :) and a surprise that will be revealed all in good time :)

It´s just like @Norton said, BTW those 12"X 18" are pretty big and I don´t recall the exactly measures of side window but it´s more close to 20 X 25 cm or 7" X 10" the whole window.
The best is wait and measure for yourself when you get hands on the box:toast:.

Will have to wait until tomorrow when I'm at work. Got CS6 there and some spare time to do it. All my out of work hours are filled with reviews and far too many spreadsheets.
 
No hurry at all box is not even here yet

So you want the entire black background to be transparent? Does that include all black parts that are part of his body and face and what not?
