It's a very true deep blood red. For whatever reason I have noticed over the years that digital cameras have a problem with capturing a solid image of red while in poor light. They are always off in color to the eye.

Anyway. that is an anodized finish, not a paint

Thats nice dude. It probably would look even better if you died the water with a UV sensitive red die as well, and stick a UV light in there right behind one of the CD drives, on the side facing the camera.

White a possible choice? kinda interesting to see a PC glowing all white....as if its a star or some kind of astronomical object.

What about Yellow too?

Get you some spray paint, primer, vinyl dye, a Dremel, and some CCFL tubes. Its not that hard, its just planning and carrying it out that most people think they cant do. I took an old Dell case, painted it blue with a black cover, and cut flames in the side, and it didnt turn out too bad at all. Granted I didnt go to the lengths that Stress did, like anodizing n ★■◆●, but you gotta start somewhere :)

Paint can't possibly look anywhere near as good as Stress's anodization does ...

No argument there. But it would have been kinda pointless to pay to have a 700mhz computer anodized ;)

you think i care about you saying that making a case look like "piss" even for a chance makes me want to change my mind........and while im thinking about it, who said anything about specific shades of white or green?

another point, what makes you think im going to paint a case in a color that even resembles "piss" just STFU talking to me unless its constructive

Guys, c'mon. Lets all worship Stress' modding sk177z instead of playing gang up on AceCombat. While, fun as it is, its ruining such a good thread. :)[/off-topic]

Another vote here for Fusion. :)

Everybody and their brother does it in almost every thread he posts in or starts. I've done it like three times in the last two weeks or so, so sue me, sheesh. :roll:

Ace, I was using piss figuratively. Looking like piss means it would look horrible. Your choice in colors suck hence the looking like piss or crap, not literal crap, but figurative crap. You're supposed to be a bright guy, I thought you would figure it out ;) Also, if you can't tell I'm just poking some fun man....oh and poking was figurative btw, your cat might not appreciate it literally. ;)

oh and...*bows down to stress and his l33tn3ss*. (Gratuitous Get-MD-off-my-ass line). :P


[spoiler]If you can't tell by now Ace, it is all in good fun. I shouldn't have to post this for you to know that anyways but meh...[/spoiler]

Actually, that's a bad point. This case will be around way longer than the components in it.

Nice Stress, I think it's awesome :!:
If it were mine I would call it "The Forge." With the light plate under the Koolance and the red and black colors it reminds me of a steel mill rolling flat plate :)

All that's missing is some smoke and sparks, but a well placed screwdriver should take care of that :wink:
