Ok, so I am having a hard time picking out components for a new build. I haven't really been paying attention to the differences between AMD and Intel based processors, nor have I been paying attention to the video card war, so I need some help from all of you. So, to help you all out, and get...

Im curious as to how i would acuratly transfer an image on a computer, to an aluminum side panel. The only way i can think of, out of my limited knowledge of the area, is having an artist paint it on, but that would cost quite a bit of money, at least, if you wanted a decent artist. Is there any...
