Custom
Painting and Computer Case Mods  |
A custom paint job
with an automotive clear coat finish can take a custom PC to the next
level. Whether it's flames with color-shifting paint, or your company
logo done
with candy shades over metallic sparkles, life is more interesting
when you go beyond the ordinary.

How many times have
you heard the phrase, "Turbocharge your PC"? We don't talk about overclocking
our cars, so why are the marketing idiots of
the world all "turbocharging" everything from
PCs to tax calculating software? It's just stupid and overused. This
project was my way of saying, "Enough already!"
This T-25 turbo (stock turbo from my Mitsubishi Eclipse) blows cool air
into the front of the case. It's more aesthetic than functional, but after
many years of people talking about turbocharging their PCs, this
is the first time it's ever actually been done!

Case
on Fire
(Realistic Flames)
This is our latest case, and our favorite by far. A great
deal of time was spent on the clearcoat to make it like glass.
We're using this for our Core2Duo system, but the case (just the case,
not the components inside) is "for sale" if someone makes an offer we
like. If you are seriously interested in the case, please use the contact
link on our home page and let us know your offer. |
Speed
Racer PC
Overlapping 3D flames, a Mach 5, and a custom
plexiglass window cut into the flame pattern makes this case really stand
out on the desktop.
This one goes to 11.

Death
Before Dishonor
(the
Klingon Case) Something for the
Star Trek nerds.
This case was converted from stock to finished in just 2 days, including
custom side fan and window cut-outs, front fan Klingon emblem cutout,
welded "LAN party" handle on top, sandblast-etched logo on
plexiglass window, and a custom paint job with automotive clear coat.
Oh yeah, and
some red lights for the inside, because case modding is all about the
storebought junk, at least according to the computer stores. |
We
are currently taking a break from painting, but hope to have more time
in the future for some new designs. |
