Well, as a lot of you must know, the rocketfish is a perfect case for modding. its a blank slate to mold into whatever you wish. From what was supposed to be just a adding a few fans and putting in a window, I'm now planning on making this into another pink floyd case (for who don't know, mnpctech did a "the wall" themed mod before).
I got the inspiration for a "the wall" themed mod because I painted the inside of my case red, not thinking of doing anything further at that point, but more brainstorming led me to this idea.


the screaming head will be etched into the window, the hammer will be on the mesh (paint is a crappy image editor, lol...), and the mesh will be backlit with a red cold cathode. The front is as it seems, I will paint the album cover and the hammers onto the front of the case.

Here is the progress so far, mainly just cutting, painting and cable management.

I will also get some u-channel for the cable management holes when i buy the mesh, as well as some case feet as those plastic stubs the rocketfish comes with are pathetic...

Can't promise much progress for a while, as I'm taking summer classes, and I'm going away this weekend for the 4th, but I promise to try to get as much done as possible.

i have taken off the paint from the panels, sanded them down a bit, and primed them for tomorrow, when they will get a fresh paintjob.

right... if you actually read my post, I did say that mnpctech already did a mod on that theme, mine is completely different...
 
Not going to lie, that face is a bit creepy! But it looks like it's coming along pretty well.
