Well..I've been looking at building myself a new computer, and have been throwing some paint schemes around in my head and decided on doing an old school army type themed rig
the outside...olive drab green..flat olive
the frame...flat black
for the side panel i plan on slapping an oldschool airforce star on there, like the biplane fighterjets would have on their tail rudder, the star will be cut out of acrlyic to serve as a window and be riveted to the side of the case.
the top i am going to machine some handles to add to the rugged factor...lord knows i hate bending at lan parties and shimmying to pick my rig up, but i'll get some 3mm aluminum and sandwhich the top of the case under the handles for reinforcement..
this WHOLE case im doing right now, is just a test to see what the color scheme will look like together, if i actually like this and go through with it, i'll get a LianLi PC-61 and execute the operation on that.
Here it is all laid out...the front panel was a bitch to get off
enough talk, here is stage one...disassembly!

little clips like these are the reason why the front panel SUCKED
