Case Vinyl

Post by wit_skapie »

Wazzup!

I'm looking for cool designs to go on the side of my case. My buddy of the office has a vinyl cutter machine, so he can make me anything.

I've got a black case - with a window on the one side. I want to put the vinyl on the other side. Any cool logos would be great.

The guy that works with me - his mom owns one of these machines, they call it a Vinyl Cutter or a Plotter. It's used for making signs etc.
So he can make me anything i'd like....

So i put the vinyl / sticker on over the weekend - not to shabby... not as big as i thought it would be, but thats probably better. I'll take some pics of my case tonight and post them tomorrow - it's nothing special, no real modding - just a few lights...
