I love the rust theme also. Looks like it will go great with a HL2 theme (which reminds me of how pissed I am that its not out yet )

Veel Geluk ! ;)

;) oh man i love the cd rom, and that total coloring scheme, amazing job so far. i might have gone for a smaller case though, easier to mod into the whole mesa atmosphere not to mention the upsides of a small case to a lan, is it an aluminum case - `cause it doesn`t look like one to me?
a bit heavy no? (and tey computer folk don`t have muscle let them carry a 21"er to a lan party once...)

anyways - subscribed!

Piloux, here's a different question for you. Let's say you finally complete this long wanted HL2 case of yours. What would you do to make the system inside look perfect with the case itself?

My apologies...looks like a firewall configuration issue. I'm not allowed to access the site that's hosting your pics.

Will have to wait until I get home, I guess...

Great work. The rusty case is a tough thing to pull off well. Looks like you are on your way. Good luck.
