I 'll remove the sticker, but I don't want to paint the fans because I will use its clearness to see some lightning through it :)
BTW I have paint the 120 mm radiator's fans and place them on top of case
It seems to be big old industrial ventilate system :D
The radiator take its place just under fans in one 5.25 bay, it seems have been build for it :D
dude you have done it again , your first project was among the best i have seen , now you do this . i really feel you should put this one in to some shows as its really a high quality mod , prehaps valve and ati might sponsor you (worth a try) ;) .
This project is awesome. It's the sorta thing you would expect Valve to pay some one to do for the Half Life 2 launch, it is absolutely awesome!!!
Are you an artist by profession/hobby or is the rust effect really easy to get used too. Just wondered if it took a lot of specilist skill to use the paints you are.
When I saw this thing I just said: Whoa. Seriously, you have done another excellent job on another case and that is the best tribute to Half-life² I've seen. After playing the first one ever since it came out, it is perfect for the Half-life² world. A great job that is a purely L33T and perfect case. Very well done. Keep up the great work!
I just thought of something actually... For the switches why don't you use military style switches? The ones with the red covers on them and a silver flip switch under it. Hmmm....I know theres a site around here somewhere with them...
That looks really really pro. You ought to email a finished pic to Valve, and see if you could get a free copy of HL2! I really like the idea with the backlit logo. Also, the bullet holes look really nice. You can tell this is a labor of love...or at least extreme anticipation.
Suggestions:
1) Use conduit to sheathe the wires. That would look really nice coupled with the rust effect, and it would add to the industrial HL2 effect.
funny thing is, is if you made a HL2 pc case when you frist heard about it, it would probably look a bit like this case does now!
still, looking good mr belgium modder!
Well smack my ass and call me Judy, that case is already looking so delicious that I could cry over it! :D
I've been watching these forums for quite a while now, but this case was something that made me join your crew here at Bit-Tech.
I really liked your previous project as well, the attention to detail was the thing that made me interested in it.
And to my opinion your ongoing project isn't going to be ashamed of it at all.
Keep those good mods rolling, the audience is watching

That painjob is just beautiful... Well not really beautiful, seeing as it's supposed to look rusty, but it's damned impressive. What are you doing on the other side? A side panel that's all dented and bullet-holed?
Ok - I realize that this post was left a few days ago, and there have been many since then, but that just gave me a great idea. It might not be perfect for this case, but for another one, it would be a lot of fun to take a new case out and put several (real) bullet holes in it and then use that case in a themed mod - battlefield maybe or something like that - make it look like some beat to hell military computer.
You could probably find some paintball CO2 tanks in a local sporting goods store.
I remember earlier someone posted about N2O (NOX) bottles, but you said that you couldn't get them in the UK. These are cheaper and eaiser to find - and have that sort of industrial look.

I also rusted fangrills, I use these ones "normal" and think it 's better than laser cut grill for the look :)

keep up the amzing work dude!!
.: Fillip :.
I think some small valves would be better, red.
what is the thing on the top of the cd-rom drive ?
how will u hide the cables of psu and fans ? rusty shower cables ? reddish plastic cables ?
just one thing: the plexy circle with the lambda is too clean to go well with the rest of the case..

Sorry for veering a tiny bit off topic.....
(I Even made sure to find one in the UK for you!!)
There are also some on ebay uk
