I'm a huge Halo fan myself and I don't believe that green represents the logo well. I think you should go with a red or orange combination or a cobination of the two. I also think the case should have been chrome like the Limited Edition Halo 2.

Ho about the AI Girl???
I dont know if Guilty Spark is in the next one but that might make a nice image. Either that or a Wart Hog.

What do you suggest I do with these images? I don't understand what you're suggesting exactly.
I actually thought about naming my mod project Guilty Spark, as he/she/it will be in the second one from I've read long ago.
Hey blurredvision. Just checed your June22 update. The dark front panel is weird. Maybe it's dark because of the number of coats of paint? Maybe any little bumps in the plastic have been smoothed out, and now you don't get any light reflections that might make it lighter. Hard to say for sure. Maybe you just need to let yours cure for a bit.
I just finished painting my old 19" monitor last night. It was beige, but sat in the sun too long, turned kinda yellow... I used black Krylon spray paint. It came out REALLY well! When the paint was fresh, sometimes it seemed like it reflected funny off of various areas. Once it cured over night though it looked perfect.

I don't know if platic colors evenly with metal. I still think a chrome and orange color scheme would be better. However, if you're going with a Covenant color scheme, then maybe purple LEDs would work.
I like the blue and silver. I think you should put a neon light behind the Halo 2 logo cutout to give the silver background a nice glow, and cover it with clear acrylic instead of frosted.

The reason for a frosted look to the window on the mobo-side panel is because I didn't want to be able to readily see the backside of the mobo tray. It just wasn't pretty. So, I frosted the acrylic over, and will be lighting it up so it'll glow of sorts. The reason for running leds behind there is because there just isn't any room to put any neon or CCFL's.
This is awesome. You are doing an amazing job, I cut out a radioactive symbol in my case with a dremel thinking I was cool, but WOW - I am speachless. i am without speech.
Good reason.
Careful with the LEDs, if you place them right next to the acrylic it will look like the light source is coming from a few spots, instead of an ambient type of light. Maybe if you mount them an inch or two away from the edge of the symbol it will give a better ambient light look. I think maybe a hot glue gun will mount them pretty well to the metal.

That's exactly what I was planning on doing, mounting them around the outside of the logo and attaching them to the back of the panel, therefore as not to have it noticable where each and every led is. Even if I have to place them more than a couple of inches away from the logo, I'll do it.Originally posted by: Cheetah8799

If you are still shopping for LEDs, check out jameco.com. They have a lot. Probably easier if you download their .pdf catalog and find them in there... searching through their website kinda sucks....

Nice update! I'm really waiting to see how the LEDs turn out though.
I like the way you stuck the two blue pieces to the clear window. Makes for a nice effect when one side is cut out of the metal, while the other seems to have the cutout piece "floating" in the window.

Whohoo!! Just got the leds in today. I hope to run to radio shack to pick up wiring and heat shrink, and I'll hopefully post pics later tonight of the results if I do it rightOriginally posted by: Cheetah8799

.Cool. If you want to hot-glue them, Target sells a small hobby glue gun for $2 or so, and a big pack of glue sticks for another $1 I think. i have one, works awesome for computer stuff.
