My new case mod
Pics
Started out theming it after a M4 Sherman. Added a side and top blowholes, intake and exhaust respectively. Full paintjob. Going to add front USB to the front bezel. Paint looks uneven in places because it still hasn't completely set. Not bad for a 7 year old Gateway case.

I think it will now serve as a Call of Duty dedicated server. Seems fitting.

Nice.
Battlefield 1942 could also be worthy of this.

I see you have onboard sound and an additional sound card.
This thing is going to be loud!

Onboard AC97 crapola vs Cmedia 8738. Cmedia wins.
Btw, for anyone that cares, specs are as follows:
AXP 1800+
512 MB PC133
MSI K7T Turbo Rev3
Radeon 8500le @ 275/275
Cmedia 8738
3com NIC
300 watt PSU
20 GB Maxtor
Pretty good server overall.

I don't mean to be rude, just truthful. I think what someone here referred to as Camo paint, is actually the overspray streaks in your paint changing the reflection of the flash. Correct me if I am wrong, you used one color green, right, and there are no patterns except the star…?
Next time, don't use a spray bomb (aerosol can), and try to use a compatible clear coat for best finish results. Always spray the final coats wet, but not so wet that you a run, or drupe...as long as the whole surface is wet looking, it will dry the same, without showing the overspray...

The final coat wasn't dry when I took that picture. I could take another picture now that it has evened out, but I'm incredibly lazy and don't feel like lugging this system back into the kitchen to take some pics.

Very cool. Needs a gun turret and some treads!
If it's true that wherever you go, there you are: how come so many people look lost?

This is what I was thinking. I thought you said NEW CASE mod I'm not trying to be a jerk but where is the mod in this case? Dont get me wrong I like the paint job but there is no mod. I think you did a great job on painting the case and all the plastic parts but where is the mod. Other than that it's cool. I like. Did you use special paint for the plastic?
 Growing up I've spent half of my money on Fast cars, fast women and Booze the other half I just wasted!

It's got a nice GI Joe look to it.
BTW, where is the 12" action figure? He needs to be sitting on top of the case when it's done!
