actually, since u last saw it, i've repainted and cleared the whole chassis, installed the bottom 120mm intake on the chassis, and changed the ccfl configuration a bit.

i know, they have been moved within my dropbox folder so the urls have changed, i will get to that when i get home.

also

this has become a revisit now, im in the process of adding some things now.

sorry for the quality, this pics are from my crappy phone..

resprayed the black base last night, going to clear it today. i have added a floor that will have more purposes then inteneded.


here sits the internals.... needs a new motherboard... anyone got a zotac am2+ mobo sitting around?


i have splatter'ed the chassis itself now, slightly, but there will be some logos on the side of the floor. still needs clear


the floor is a milky white plexi, so it will be a nice ambient light source on the botton of the case. When i have the side panel on it actually looks like it has a tint of orange.
