I did a similar flame design on my case a long time ago.

I didn't go with the all out red look tho :)

Keep it up!

I'm more of a fan of painted flames (http://www.renegadeonline.net/albums/spray/MVC-280F.JPG) but it'll be interesting to see how this turns out...

Mmmm... perty! Me likey the winder.

nice dremeling! Window would look cool with some fading colors on the flames edges. Different shades of red, perhaps. Really nice, cant wait to see more!

I bet some Black outlined ghost flames would look really cool snaking up the side of the drive bay rack. Or maybe even cut flames into it to match the panel.

or you chould etch the flame pattern into the plexi you are going to mount in the recess >make it detailed< then have multiple bright led's >different colors to saturate to the flame style< and get a timing board and have it switch between groups to give it a flickering effect.

Thats always a bonus...LOL

All I get at work is free engineering samples of electronic components, use of the EE drafting department and discrete access to the prototyping machine...it makes it's own PCB's from CAD files...quite nice actually.

Later

Did you airbrush those flame tips or just use spraypaint looks good

eee god get rid of the ECS mother board :p. if your going with w/c then look into a new mobo as those things are horrilbe on many levels. I know it was the frys combo special (believe me i have bought around 3 of them) but trust me you will notice a huge difference with a better mobo. LOL i usualy sell my ecs mobos in machines built with celeron proc to people.

But the case is looking great, cant wait to see more of it.

:D thats good to hear, now take that ecs board to the local pc store and get your 5 bucks for it (if they will even take it). Cant wait to see the finished case (how much did powder coating set you back?)
