Project Ideas - Needs a name!

[FarFarAway]

OK then

New project.

So far I have in my head:

Black Pearl case

Internals powder coated...colour undecided

2 waterloops:

Res here

One double or triple rad for CPU

Laing D5

DTek FuZion

One double rad for NB

DTek Pump

?Enzotech or Eddie NB block?

1/2" tubing/barbs etc

Total overkill I know...but who cares tbh

Fans: Noctua...maybe sprayed I don't know yet

Hardware: current rig:

Xeon 3070

Abit IP35 Pro

2gb Cellshock PC6400 @ 1100MHz

MSI 8800GTX

BFG PhysX card

2 x 160gb Hitachi Deskstar HDD's

SATA DVD-RW

Tagan 1100w PSU

Crystalfontz LCD...maybe

Stuff I have lying around:

Sheet black perspex

Sheet black brushed Alu

CM Crossflow fan

Blue UV Dye

Green and White LED's

Loads of jubilee clips

Lian Li V2000 wheels (silver)

Sooo...inspiration from you guys:

* Colour of interior powder coating

* Lighting schemes

* With lighting schemes in mind: watercooling colour schemes

* Possible window mods (nothing stupid but I can do some etching at a push)

* Small touches

Thinking of going quad though I haven't decided yet tbh

This isn't the project log thread but a starter for my ideas

[jabski]

how are you going to get that res ?? havent seen them anywhere since they got released ? unless you already have one ?

[mrapoc]

Black and Red?

Black and Metallic silver? Perhaps a bit of red lighting? Blue uv dye?

Perhaps a OC3D Kempez window etch? (Might make it unsellable tho)

[FarFarAway]

Res: have

Dtek stuff: have

Only the rads and fans are needed

Go black and purple with white lights. Be different lol.

[Colossous]

Nice case Kempez, nice res too, i got one for my cube and the shroud but i decided on a bay res for fittings sake, going to use it in the future !

What about something really different like black internals, white exterior !!?

[Ham]

Black outside, Blue inside with shocking blue lighting.

Few splashes of orange UV paint.

And a SS in the base

[FarFarAway]

No SS Hamster and u know it lol

But ye loving the Blue inside idea for sure, dark blue I think

OK some more ideas as to what is going to be involved.

I've always liked understated exterior so it will most likely still be black. However the devil will be in the details. There will be a lot of added small touches to the outside making a case that looks special whilst still being smooth. The interior will start off with blue powder coating but highlights will most likely be in Orange to match OC3D colours and I will aim in getting one blue and one orange loop to match.

As I said this project will be detailed but not themed as such with the interior being added to with many small touches such as good modded cable routing and well placed watercooling holders and placement. I am not going TEC or extreme cooling as I simply don't see that as practical for 24/7 usage

I'm thinking the res should be shown through a window in the top of the case as well as the traditional window and proper switches and a custom unit made for cathode/lighting management as well as all the other electrics. I also will be trying my hand at more etching to see if I can achieve a high standard in that.

Noctua fans will be used throughout but I will try to get these painted up in the project colours to a very high standard.

Basically it will evolve as I go along and I welcome all ideas from members
