After a short stay in the hospital (Yes again), and a bit of time recovering, I've gotten the exhaust pipe finished. It now sports a 1 into 2 split that takes the exhaust the length of the case, A small smoke package sits inside the case (not pictured) that'll throw small puffs of smoke out of...
Update (Pics to come)...
I got the ugly stickers off, but need to go get some of that goof off stuff to get some of the stubborn spots taken care of. No biggie there. Just a little thing.
Extended the exhaust pipe into a 1 to 2 split flared tailpipe, so the pipe now extends the...
It sucks that Pheaton's forums have died off. That was one of the first places I hung out. He also had some nice stuff in CPU. (Yo! Kyle, what happened there, we want more of his stuff in the mag dude!) :)
Hehe, you are talking about the IBM PS/2 and not the Playstation 2 right? Didn't know if there were any people around who'd admit to owning one of those. :) Could be worse, I owned one of THESE abortions.

Translates about the same way, I agree, I'm gonna remove almost all of those decals tomorrow, with the exception of the Harley and one other decal which I think look good on there. Then the next step is to take the tailpipe and mount the 1 into 2 flares on it. That'll likely be somewhat...
Bump... I'm in the contest. I have my logs on here, bit-tech, my own site, velocity reviews and plan to mirror them other places too. Bit Tech moved my log on me because they say it's a "Story with pictures" rather than an ongoing log. It's not, it's ongoing. It'll NEVER be totally finished...
Do ya really think it'd look good without anything there at all? I already removed some of them, but landed in the hospital this past week so I haven't had a chance to do anything since. Can't really even sit here at the computer for more than a few minutes. <ugh!>

Neither is an option, it's already painted and cleared and the clear is not your standard spray clear, it'd take a stick of dynamite to rip it off. Chroming it would be awesome but again, same problem, not to mention cost. I might just leave it with the paintjob and only the high quality decals...
Glad to hear it, I know you'll pull it off. It oughta look real nice, the minimalist approach is a valid and good looking way to go. I've been wanting to put together something in that mindset for a while (Not G5'ish but minimalist to the extreme). I'd like to get ahold of a large brushed...
That's a good question. It's been done before I believe and I agree, the G5 case is very nice looking. Don't know why I like it but I do. Can't really say if it's beyond your level of skill though, that's really gotta be a personal call. You'll need to do more than just drill holes for the mobo...
After a lot of hunting I couldn't find any kind of clear that would apply with an airbrush. So what you see here is a satin finish clear that I used only as a fixative for the paint. It's important to note that AutoAir paints are not complete until they have been cleared. The
slightest tap will...

Airbrushed the paintjob. Badger Crescendo and AutoAir paints with some Badger paints in there too.

The NoS is a class E 2lb oxygen tank, a real NoS tank woulda been too freakishly expensive for the project.
Actually the answer is right in front of your face.

How do you pronounce Graphics? Certanly not Jraphics, right?
It's GIF as in Graphics.
