You'd better have it done this weekend, I'd really like to see your pixelated entrails splattered all over that awesome case!

A quick update!!! Have started adding components. It has come a long way from the pictures, but just don't have the time to add all of them now.

Will be adding some all this weekend during the Chey-lan!












More to come!!!

Yep, I do!
I will be posting them in the next few days

I actually gamed with it at the Chey-lan on March 31st!

That is killer!
Also, some powdercoating setups run as low as $100, so if that was something you were going to do often it might be worth doing it yourself. :)

Ok, another powdercoating question for anyone who might be able to answer it...

Obviously it looks like powdercoating aluminum is not a problem, but what about other non-metallic materials like plastic, bondo, JB Weld, etc?

Oh, the irony of that statement.... hahaha...

Simple, but good work. This really wants me to go for that laptop mod I was talking about... It'd totally own both of your projects.... hahaha.

From what I understand, is they do have a special powder for doing plastic. It melts down at a much lower temperature, I guess around 100F or so, but it is very, very fricking expensive!!! I really wanted to powder coat the plastics on this case, but the cost per pound, OVER $80.00, blew that completely out of the question

So to be honest, not really! It just isn't cost effective and I am not sure of the quality of that type of powder.

And Drew, I have talked to the powder shop, and they will do normal colors, IE, Black, white, orange etc... for $50.00 per case, and the more exotic colors like candy apple red, transperent blue, and red, and the metallic colors for $80.00!

Interesting, thanks for the info! I can't wait go get my current projects finished so I can start on my next case mod (which, if you haven't gathered yet, is going to be powdercoated)!
