Damn! that's sweet looking!!! As for the problem.. if you go from a quick post, to a "Go Adcanced" post, it changes anything that you have done with the [img] tag as [url=] tag.. reason for it... Vbulliten thinks of the "Go advanced" feature as you wanting to "quote" what your doing...

It's a pita.. I've had to go and ninja my build log after the fact Some of the pictures went into [url=] tag because of the dang Advanced/quote feature.. yeah, it'll show up right on the "go advanced" but once you hit "reply" it does it thing... grrr

Well I notice that it happens to me when I press the "preview post" option.. As soon as the preview loads it changes all my "" tags to "[URL]" .... and then I have to go change it all back to "[IMG]" manually....it is a PITA

Other than that, looking even better with more pix! I have a question though.. all the small holes in the plexi/acrylic.. is that what you are using for the "rain" effect? (just curious.. trying to picture what you have going on) :)

pretty nice mas. you know what would be cool? make a reservoir out of one of those crystal balls from the 80's



wonder if you could find a small one or fabricate one, mount it in the front bezel or on top.

something like this make a chamber near the bottom to seal off from the current. fabricate a nice bracket out of fiberglass with 2 holes for the tubes to pass through to hold the crystal, mount it on the top panel. thing is though I think these crystal balls are pumped with gas like light bulbs so once you cut into it with a table saw thats it for it.

one more thing mas i'm not familiar with all your builds but have you ever used AC Ryan Ultraviolet Paint? looks nice



I always go by this light store it has all kinds of crazy lava lamps, tube lights, crystal balls, etc in the front window I would like to see more "outside the box" lighting in case mods instead of the usual led lasers, ccfl and led.

it's a inside shot of a Cooler Master 690 a user from a 690 Club House on another forum (used to belong to one when I owned the case) he utilizes lighting well.
