from most auto stores ...

auto paint stores are the best place to get custom paints from. i got a sea-green/silver mix from a napa paint store. they mixed it up for me and all ... for a case i was fixing - looked awesome.

I like the setup, its more or less what I'm going for once I get a case without a window obstructing a front panel vent.
Only difference is I'll suspend my HD in elastic strings in a 5 1/4 bay and use a blowhole.
I've owned that case also, and I've also put a makeshift exhaust in the pci slots before.
What kind of temps are you getting with that hsf?

The URL has changed to www.mashie.org. I don't know if it should be part of the Gallerys, User Cases or Guides and Articles since all cases are made by me.
Click to expand...

Well, I put it under Gallerys because it was a site that I founded
so thats why its under Gallerys, I just moved it under User Cases
If you want me to remove it I will, but its a great site

From Another Thread:

I posted previously about my case but never posted any pics :p I have pics now, but they aren't that great because I used my webcam instead of my digital camera since I'd wake my parents up at this time of night by digging it out of my dad's office. Anyways, this is my server with a nicely modded case:

IONWD2
Custom Server

OS

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 RC2

Hardware

EPoX EP-8KHA+
AMD Athlon XP 1900+ 1.6 GHz
1024 MB 7.5 ns cl2.5 266 MHz PC2100 DDR
Antec Performance 1200 Server Case
Enermax EG365P-VE 350W PSU
Elsa Gladiac Ultra 64 MB AGP 4x
Dell M990 19" CRT
Creative Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer
Altec Lansing ACS45.2 35 W
Harman/Kardon HK195 12 W
Promise FastTrak TX2000 ATA/133 RAID Controller
2x Maxtor DiamondMax Plus D740X 7,200 RPM ATA/133 60.0 GB in RAID 0
Asus E608 8x/40x ATAPI DVD-ROM
LG Electronics GCE-8520B 52x/24x/52x ATAPI CD-RW
Seagate TapeStor Travan 20 GB ATAPI (IDE)
Intel PRO/100 S Server Adapter PCI (LAN)
U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCI (StarBand)
APC Back-UPS CS 500 VA (300 W)

Cooling

3 80mm intake fans (one blue LED fan)
2 80mm rear fans
1 92mm PSU fan
1 80mm PSU fan
1 92mm upper-rear fan
stock AMD cooler (60mm)
stock chipset cooler (40mm)
CrystalOrb on GeForce2

Modz

1 80mm blue LED fan in lowest fan bracket (intake)
1 12" blue cold cathode tube below PSU
Scorpio Blue Translucent rounded cables for all IDE and floppy devices
Custom acryllic side (done by myself) with 7 "port-holes" in a pattern (I think it makes the case look unique)
Custom etching of an ion/atom on one of the port-holes (done with a Dremel tool :p)

Pics (very poor quality) at: http://www1.ionwd.com:8080/pics (will be very slow since I don't get the 150 kbps uploads promised by StarBand)

I'll have better pics up soon but I think you can get an idea of what my case looks like from these crappy ones. Please post feedback/comments.
