Having idea to mod my case based on lord of the rings theme. Currently just still looking for ideas and no work had started yet.

the theme is basically from the Two Tower are the battle to the Helms Deep. Guess i need the airbrush or anything else to paint the picture

if you do it right i think it's gonna be awesome! gotta find a good airbrush artist tho, or you could etch the graphics using a dremel.

I think the Moria gate you can just mask out the design on acylic, then spray it. The side panel you'll probably have to airbrush the whole thing or print it at a poster printing service and stick on the side panel. I have no idea how you can to the top blow hole though, probably need to do some fancy case cutting to make a grille design within the pic of the Ring.

personally i would think that The Eye of Sauron is suitable to be placed at front.. smile.gif
place it at the center of the intake front fan, and make sure that the fan has a red or orange color LED/CCFL smile.gif

besides of placing the design of Sauron's eye at the front, u can also include the acrylic that is flame-designed together with it..and remember to light it up with a red/orange CCFL as well..
with that, we can see that the eye is burning smile.gif

hmm........i knew someone who went for airbrush for the whole casing... (front, top, left, right, rear)

it costs 500 bux....

and do make sure that you already settle down with that airflow of the casing, coz once you airbrush the side, you have to use it already......

if i were you i'd go for sticker instead....coz the normal airbrush is so freaking expensive and it doesnt include the clearcoat......without clearcoat, it is not reflective and looks dull....

it will be best for you to plan out everything first, like the number of optical drive you're having, side panel fan and so on....

if not later when you want to add in a fan on the sidepanel, the airbrush art will be gone
