    From what I could see, it looks nice. The pictures are kinda small, can't see much. Is it watercooled? :cool

    Nice card. I have the EVGA flavor. I only get around 12K in 3D 06. But my quad rig is down for a PSU RMA. Dang PSU was cranking almost 13 volts! :eek

    The little E6600 chip is ok, but I miss my quad! (but I am too lazy to pull 2 motherboards and swap them.

    Damn Crash101, that is one fine looking system you have there!! Does it run as good as it looks?? Whoever did that artwork did one fantastic job....it looks great!;) Did you do it?

    thats a nice looking rig youve got there mate, you should be proud of it:clap

    kinda makes me sentimental...i used to be heavily into modding, until the wife got fed up with it just got a nice system built into a standard coolermaster case these days

    Yes I did the art work and well I am thinking of changing it as the game prey is a little old and although it looks good I think it is time for a change .
    This system runs so fast it amazes me no end . I am getting a new CPU for it this coming week the Q9550 , I am getting on Monday this week The MCRES-MICRO Revision 2 reservoir and some coolant as well and some lighting next week and then the mega CPU for me !

    I just am not big on case windows. Love how they look in other people's cases, guess I like mine plain on the outside. I do have a window on one of my older cases, I am thinking about scratching it up so it has a 'frosted' look. So you could see lights, but not much detail...

    Can't wait to see the 'new' look!! With your imagination and talent I can only guess at what it will look like!!;) With all the modding you do, do ever get a chance to play with your machine???

    I am going to redo the side panels I am looking for some star trek posters . I am going to change the scene and the theme .

    Stubby R.I.P. (September 3, 1949 - January 26, 2011)

    AHHH! A 'Trekkie,' huh? That's cool!!;) Which U.S.S. Enterprise are you going to use? Kirk's or Picards? On second thought, why don't I just mind my own business and see for myself when it's done:-D
     
  33. CRASH101

    CRASH101 Private First Class

    I like kirks best of all . I think I have to take a trip to kinkos to do some blowing up of the pictures I have . Need to make them really big .

    Well since I could not find a poster or even a picture the size I wanted to work with I am going with Iron man ! or at least some of him rolleyes but I went ahead and took a picture of it for you .
    It still needs 4 more coats of finish but I think it looks cool this is after one coat of finish and I took the picture wet and on my table .

    http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/2758/dsci0002.jpg

    Now there are a lot of things going on here . First off I sprayed the face of the picture with spray glue to give it texture . Letting it dry I then coated the entire surface with mat finish 4 coats to ensure a great seal . Now it was on to lacquer this is going to take about 4 days one day for each coat it is going to get much better looking as the process nears the end . I hope you like it I know I do . ;)

    Iron Man, now thats a pretty good look for a PC, looking forward to the end results on this Crash.

    Hey so is it you found a poster of Iron Man then stuck it to the case sides and lacquer it? or is this your own spray artwork copied from a poster? impressive either way.

    To echo Halo's words...IMPRESSIVE!! I like it and, IMHO, I think you made a good choice. Still, the Enterprise would've looked pretty cool to. Even though I've never seen the 'Iron Man' movie, one of my all-time favorite songs is 'Iron Man' by 'Black Sabbath!!'

    Crash, dang... that is nice! :dood How are you applying the pictures to the case? Or are you painting them or what? Great job!
     
  43. CRASH101

    CRASH101 Private First Class

    I am using plain old pictures I found off the net . I print them out cut to fit and glue them on then I put a few coats of varnish on them to give them shine and protect them . That is all I do .
     
  44. Fred_G

    Fred_G Heat packin' geek

    Well, it looks great! I love the simplicity of the application! Nice.
     
  45. CRASH101

    CRASH101 Private First Class

    Thank you . it is a bit hard to do as when you start to put the varnish on the paper has a tendency to lift up and wrinkle this is very hard to control but I manage some times it takes me 2 or 3 times to get the picture to stop curling up . I so hate that part !

    Stubby R.I.P. (September 3, 1949 - January 26, 2011)

    Crash, you never cease to amaze me!! That looks totally awesome! I did some modding once, yeah I put 2 blue LED fans in my case!!:-D It really looks good Crash, and I'm just curious how your going to handle that fan on your side panel. Keep the pics coming!!!
     
  49. CRASH101

    CRASH101 Private First Class

    Thank you very much .
    That side panle is going to be the hard one but I will do it and post pic's . I am doing some more to the top and front of the case right now , I hope you like it I know I do . ;)

    I meant to ask you Crash, what brand case are you using? Just curious! You know, with your talent and PATIENCE, you could always buy a few mid-range priced cases, (just the cases) mod them to someone's specs and sell them. Hey, with the way the economy is these days, a little extra income sure wouldn't hurt!;) Just an idea, one which I'm sure you already thought of!!
