hi guys

im busy doing some more designing :D the left hand side panel looks a little lonely atm. so im working on a design to spray on it :D im looking at a few modern stripe decals. ive seen a few but i want the panels to maybe look symmetrical. but i might not be able to.

so my design must follow the shape of the side window

okay so heres the mini update

windowed panel
Image

and the other panel

Image

now im still trying to decide if i should spray the blue ontop of the black or if i should do it like gost flames. (you spray the blue lines on first and then the black ontop. so from certain angles you can see the lines and others you cant)

the Ethernet card?? thats for when we go and if i need to share files. then i connect 2 network cables and give out two ip's to connect to so it splits the load... (haven't used it yet but thats why its there)
