Marble Case Look

[Thalasi]

I'm in the process of modding my case and I want to give the sides and top a marble look (seen here and here).
Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Looks like he airbrushed that, OMG imagine if he scrached that bad boy, would be a tough job patching it up.

LOL!

GiZzO: I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one buddy. (Nice site btw, and yes, please make the listening room )

Thalasi: That case mod is an "easy" one compared to the custom paint jobs on others. The "marble" look is attained through CONTACT paper. Pay around $4-$6 and get yourself 15ft of CONTACT paper and go wild on your case. A lot of places sell CONTACT paper, but the marble one is sort of hard to find. I would suggest going to your local Home Depot since I know that they carry it. Just walk in and ask where the "Contact Paper" is.

(CONTACT paper is just a sheet with a design on one side, and sticky adhesive on the other, and the company claims that it can be removed and put on again and again. )

Wow contact paper so thats what it is, so its just kidna like wall paper you just slap it on, interesting. heh and i was thinking he airbrushed that now that would have been alot of work.

Ahh the listening room is coming along did a few testing couple days ago what settings i should use, And the rig im using the test each one constantly. I was gonna do the first 10 of 30, 60mm fans i have this week but i got the flu or anthrax or something no fun. I'll have something for you guys too look at soon while i build it up.

I read somehwere that an estimated 1000 people died as a result of the flu this year while only one confirmed death from anthrax. Im not saying you should hope you have anthrax instead of the flu though
