    Nukem: The never ending project

    And love it.
    Spent a hell of alot of time on getting the panel somewhat reflective. Still need to do rear panel and front panel. (Just mounts and switches)



    It all started out as this little gateway (The hardest comps to MOD because of their panels).

    Then I got bondoing and cutting with the dremel.


    Then paint.

    Then my nice new modding gear came.



    And this is where it stands now after a nice new paint job on the PSU and side panel.




    Dont say anything about the CPU fan...

    That is Flourescent green paint and flat black paint. I still need to paint the drives. Canned spray paint. Reflective finish on the panel and the Green. Not on flat of course.

    The dremel tool I used was just the discs. Bought them from MNPC Tech. They last a long time. Good stuff.

    Thanks. I personally think the Black UV green and Yellow combo look sick. Makes it Nuclear Reactive kinda theme.

    Yeh the circle on the plexi was cut by my drill press with a sizeable metal/wood/platic cutter tool.
    Thanks for the props.

    Very Very ture about hard work.

    I have been playing around with the gateway. Going to finish it up make all the drives mount flush, basic stuff.
