Sorry to keep you waiting but my camera had to charge.

Here is all the new fans and neons and stuff:

And a close-up of the fans:

the first pic is your answer

mc-dexter · Nov 11, 2008

i must of missed those updates when my net went off for a good couple of days

yah I loved the idea

and I have to warn you the fans actually came out purple/pink'ish not red like it is advertised

doesnt matter because I'm giving it to a girl anyways but if it was for me iI would be upset

mc-dexter · Nov 11, 2008

ok just noticed you got the vaio logo on the other side, just another thought, how about cuttin the same but add some really dark red perspex on that side?

The painting is the hard part for me it takes sooooooooooooooooooo long waiting for each layer to dry than re assembeling the comp while not scratching the case....

Some day I want to be rich so I can send them out to get powdercoated :cool:

yes it takes a very long time, especially since it is so damn cold where I am having it dry (like 60)

yes that would be nice, so would having a sandblaster though, to save time prepping the metal

I think I am going with the CF film for the PSU and the drive bays
