My Son wanted a LAN rig so I decided to do a build based on Danger Dens 450 case. The case is designed to be air-cooled but I decided I wanted to fit some real H20 inside (not one of those self-enclosed kits). The build will be upgraded to ASUS' mini-ITX Sandybridge mobo when it is released. GPU is an ASUS Geforce 460. The backside will be air-brushed with Dragon Ball Z image by Steve Nunez. Will also have MNPCTech handles and feet painted green. Top will have LDR-style fan grills to allow GPU to get air-flow. Also using unisleeved cable extensions all around (cables will be stealthed by a mesh cage I am making).

That looks wicked awesome. I could never imagine taking my machine to a lan party.... too freaking heavy
 
Heh... what will the DBZ image depict? I hope it's something reflecting the magnitude of an epic tale it seems to be.

I'm still trying to get through DBZ... it took forever for them to down Frieza on Namek - I was so fed up that now, 3 months later, I'm only just encountering the androids... and I skipped the damned nonsensical Garlic Jr. plotline - there wasn't any room for those events in the story... WTH :mad:

So far I prefer the OG dragonball, but DBZ is still a damned cool and epic series.
 
Bill from MNPCTech painted some of his luxurios case feet and handles. Sexy as can be . . .

For some reason I get the idea Piccolo might be good for the airbrushing.

hey man, it looks awsome.

Which radiator are you using? Also i see you have a dual expension slots at the back of the case... and i see only on the DangerDen web page, they have a single expension slot?

did you ask for a costum panel?

So is this case going to scream endlessly as it boot up? Perhaps golden glow around it once it finish booting up? :p
