Sorry to barge in like this, just an idea you may like. I did a window once to try something I saw. Get HP transparency sheets from your local stationary store and you can print with any colour inkjet printer onto them, when it's dry it doesn't smudge or anything. I couldn't believe how amazing it looked. Especially with a light behind it. It has to be seen to be appreciated and it costs a few buck. like R5 for a sheet. You probably also get A3 sheets.

These aren't the best examples for finished product pics but gives you an idea of what I mean: I printed a full anime pic to cover my whole window in full colour. It was amazing.

Hey Synthesis, I quite like that idea! Could work well for an overlap, I'll keep it in mind :)

OTC, Love the symbols, the bottom ones each time, maybe there's a website where I can look please?

Looks flipping good W1k I must say it is definitely a different concept than the standard bling case out there - simplicity has beauty I would say

Personally I don't like it but...there is something about it which has a certain appeal :)

Well done

Uhm, what glow? I think it's just my camera that was on the wrong white balance setting.

Compressor + Airgun + A LOT of wetsanding

I'm not sure yet. I'm scouting around for a black pcb board, maybe a DFI P965 Dark, that would be perfect.

But then it will be E8400 2GB DDR2 and whatnot. Oh and some dual card setup ;)

Hehe I have a few pics with the components in, but I hit a little bump. First of all, I've been writing exams for the past 3 weeks and had no time for this. And then I found out that my radiator leaks in two places, so I need to get that fixed first :(

Hehe thanks :) Each to his own I guess

As I said, Air Compressor + Airgun + Lots and LOTS of wetsanding.

I have some pics of the happening, but it was quite dark in the garage and all the pics are blurred, but if anyone wants to see them I can add them.

Untill next time,

Thanks

I sanded the original stuff first. Then gave it a coat of primer, let it dry properly, wetsand, another coat. Let it dry for a day, wetsand. Then a coat of paint, very light, let it dry properly, wetsand. Another thicker coat, let it dry for a day, wetsand.

That did the trick on most of the parts, some needed a third coat.
