Here's my preliminary idea for the next case project. The case is gonna be either white or black in color. The lambda logo will be clear so u can see the components inside. The Half-Life 2 words will also be clear. Then a red CCFL will light up the logo n words from inside.

I'll b using my old case which has been stripped bare. The ugly wheels will be changed to nicer wheels like the one's I'm using on Project Ch3@psk8.

The front will w using a flat piece of acrylic. This is the pix of the bare front.

The top panel window will most likely haf a Half-Life 2 see tru words like the side panel with the red CCFL glowing tru it. Undecided on this for now.

That's all for now. Pls give me ure opinions on whether u like the case to be in white or black n also waht to do with the top panel.

Here's the all important goggles for eye protection. Don't cut without eye protection guys. Especially true for those using rotary tools like Dremel. U never know when the cutting disc will explode. Trust me, happened to me b4 back when I was dremeling sum stuff for my remote control cars. I'm buying a B&D RTX soonz so prepare with a goggle 1st.

Patience, patience. This case is gonna be a slow n easy pace mod coz my rig's not in it so I can take it easy. Still researching on design while I strip the paint n prepare the chassis for the mods. Also hafta go buy the materials I need.

This will be a more detailed worklog than Project Ch3@psk8. I'm gonna take u guys tru the whole process with pix of every process. With Ch3@psk8 I rushed the worklog n sum of the processes din haf pics n explanations like the paint stripping n all. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

frankly...halflife case mod has been overdone. Saw tons of case mods based on halflife. Not trying to pour cold water on you but don't you know you think you should consider doing another games case mod? Perhaps F.E.A.R case mod or something??

Having said that...I am eager to see whatever mod you are coming up with...good job so far....

Anyway whatever you decide, we will be waiting to see you results. I find it more interesting while you update your work with the pictures and your methods. The finish product nice or not is really not that important.

Last time I bought that paint stripper , similar to yours right now.

It's really effective. It tears out the old paint until my bare metal casing immediately oxidize.. (Shen1 Xiu4.... what you call that in english?)
my side panel had turn brownish...

And it burns and itch my hand terribly if I touch it until I have to rinse my skin with running water for a while.
