Would you believe I bought the original case used for $10? My affliction with custom bikes has been inspiring me a lot lately. You'll see more of this theme played out in upcoming builds this year. Heres the features on this case. The 2, turbine ducts (120mm & 50mm) were molded with body filler into the faceplate. Very quiet on account they each have their own rheostat speed control. Thats where the skull knobs come in. The window treatment was a disgraded piece of laser cut steel I found. I brushed the surface with swirl marks. The top 80mm blow holes are directly above the MB. It just made more sense than in the middle. Especially since this old case has no rear fan port except for the PSU fan. To be perfectly honest, after firing up the front fans and feeling the airflow come out the rear chassis perforations, the top blow holes aren't neccessary. The paint is Midnight Blue metallic with clearcoat.<br/> Fri, 28 Mar 2003 02:39:58 GMT Bill Owen http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=13713 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=13713"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_3091/832e6a3d6b4a437d76adb448426cd28d/832e6a3d6b4a437d76adb448426cd28d_scale_47_80.jpg" height="80" width="47" border="1" alt="Subzero" /></a><br/>A home computer as high tech cabinetry. <br/> Sun, 01 Dec 2002 15:25:22 GMT Bill Owen http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=13712 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=13712"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_3091/198950c0a989270dabc08b054cdb3223/198950c0a989270dabc08b054cdb3223_scale_51_80.jpg" height="80" width="51" border="1" alt="Dell Eater GT" /></a><br/>Inspired by a German sportscar. This is a functioning Home Computer. I incorporated switchs that I felt are both unique and fun. The volt gauge monitors the power supply. A headlight switch activates the internal blue neon light.
