Anything...........suggestions for cases to be painted, possible artwork, critiques, you name it.

Well, there is more to a box than just paint when it comes to modding. The Biohazard theme I thinkhas been overdone. And after seeing one that was so over the top, nobody could ever come close to in in that catigory. Anyway, I would say pick something that you can add to it, hardware wise, to make it more of that theme than just paint. Like mine, it has actaul medalians and stuff, parts of bikes and a Ford F150 fender medalian, EL Wire, rally pin and so forth. Things that give it that extra bit of physical being, not just a new suite. A new suite with Inspector gadget properties, I would say. Just an idea. It's a bit more work, with physical mods involved, but it gives it a more personal feel.
So, pick something that not only is appealing but also something that you can add such bits and peices to that makes it even that much more unique.
I first picked the biohazard thing when I first started. Had lots of things in mind, incuding and eerie lighting system that I needed help with. I wanted the intermitent lighting like christmas tree lights where every 3rd light slowly comes on then off, but with LEDs. Would really make a cool affect, but I went with the Harley 100th thing since it was more personal to me.

whoa looks cool !
if the flames were backlit (not sure if possible) would OWN

It would be a lot of dremel work, but cutting out the flames is possible. A thin piece of plexy adhered to the inside to carry the light and a light source...whalah! The plexy would have to be frosted though to catch the light or else it wouldn't work right.

It's a great start there, Demon. Keep it up.

I still have the window side to do..............and I have a blue neon lite to go inside. I will do that later tho once I decide how I want to do it. For now, the right side and front mini-doors will be done with white or light blue basecoat and 3 different shades of Kandy blue (electric blue, hawaiin blue, and cobalt blue) to go over the basecoat.

This will be the FIRST time that I have ever used an airbrush.

BTW, I'm still looking for another 780i motherboard so the desktop is still down.

The case is now painted with 2 coats of white, 2 coats of power blue, and 2 coats of Hawaiian Blue Kandy, along with the 2 doors.

Wraps are off. Due to the 90 degree temps, it didn't take the paint long to dry.

Now I need to do the paint trim and overcoat. This will be done later.
