Wow. TBH I had pretty much forgotten about this but today I remembered it.

I didn't have any of the photos on my hard drive as they would be long gone. I mean damn, we're talking nine years ago.

Some of you will recall where I have mentioned about being stuck with a crappy Celeron D rig for years because I was so broke. What I didn't mention was the fact that I had at least done something original with it..

This rig was built in 2004. Back then case modding was in its very early infancy and any mod, even subtle would end up being talked about. Though what I did here may seem like nothing now I can tell you that getting an Intel rig into something that was just not designed to take it is a major undertaking. It's easier now thanks to removable motherboard trays that can be easily fitted into the back of a G5 case but back then you had to do it all yourself, including any fabrication.

The pics of the rig were in my ex wife's uncle's machine shop where my office was based (I was living with him at the time).

So here it is - Radiomactive. What shocked me was that it was still sat on the server my friend gave me access to all of those years ago :lol:

haha no ! the paint was from Krylon's warning range.

Was a serious amount of work that. All had to be stripped and sanded and then white primer, white base coat, luminous paint then tons of clear.
