what I like the best is how you didn't paint the top edge of the side panels.  gives a great look.


Yea, put some tape on it, but some of the tape lifted off from the spraying.. sucks but its not too noticable.  the main thing i wanted to do was let the neon glow underneath the G3 also, so thats why i didnt paint the bottom part of the side panels, its really bright on the bottom. looks nice. 

thanks for the comment! didnt think anyone would pay attention to it.  i thought it was easier than putting another neon on the bottom

I think it looks sharp!  The G3 is nice, keep it.  One thing though....have you thought about putting some clear coat on it and shining it up?

Agreed. The cut out's look nice. I always knew there was a good purpose for that logo. ;D

HAHA thanks guys, yea, at first some people didnt like it, then they come to realize it is pretty sweet looking.

Oh by the way, I did get some clear paint on it, no pictures since, but it does help to keep the black paint from scraping off that way the lights dont shine through the scratches, but i think an ultra gloss coat would help it out! =D

Be sure to post the new pics of it glossed up.  A matching lit keyboard would be sick too by the way.

haha, well there is no original keyboard or mouse, the tower its self is actually a good friend of mine, i was just hookin him up.  But he got the tower for free so there was reason to mod it! =D

But, as for pictures, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get more, unless i tell him to take them lol.  We'll see! =D
