I can't wait to see the finished product. Have a good time Mashie, that is a truly beautiful region. Be sure to check out Brunei, I love it there! Rock on Malaysia!!
most excellent idea there crimson, i just perused through them once more and found ones i had somehow missed in the 40 odd pages of this thread. Could you maybe post up some links to where you acquire some of your supplies?
I think he said he may try it
I can't wait to see what the "building" portions of the case are going to look like. id better buy this case just so crimson gets comp'd properly for his amazing work and investment of time and material. Then they should send it straight it to the Smithsonian!
can we stay in a more constructive and effective train of thought people?
crimson did you see the lighting reply i posted before all that trash hit the thread?
I've never tried using them in a case mod, but they make very small xenon charged flash bulbs and driver circuits for the RC airplane industry. If there were a way to have some of them fire at random instead of in a pattern it may be an excellent means to emulate the flashing lighting areas of...
so back to more constructive things....
that storage area would be a keen spot to tuck away a PDA. What sort of lighting are you planning on using inside and around the case?

you can color bondo easily...
http://www.woodweb.com/knowledge_base/Tinting_body_filler.html This article references some of the products available to color polyester filler compounds. I believe this would be the easiest way to cleanly fill your overcut.
Integrating the pda's cradle into say your "martian" landscape areas shouldn't be terribly difficult, in fact even having it seperate from the case on its own "martian" hill or something along those lines would still fit the bill. Wires could be concealed to make them look like pipes or tubing...
crimson,
I know you're all set with that "sound" board to playback Doom3 sounds but I had an idea I just had to share. What if you pull the PDA concept right from the game. You could use even a cheap PocketPC to control servos/actuators(usb/serial interface to a wide selection of eTTL/step...
Forgot to tell all you guys about the lan specials that are running at a number of area hotels. Split a room with as many of your friends as you can and make it cheaper for all of you to party all weekend long with us! Anyone think they can own ZacFu in Doom3?
Ok guys, this is a big one! Didn't get to go to Quakecon this year? Or did you and you're just as addicted as we are? Read on...
