Well my mom wants me to build her a computer with a dolphin theme, and i am having a lot of trouble coming up with ideas on what to do, so i was wondering if any one had any good ideas.

get a black case, cut out a dolphin design in the sidepanel, put plexi behind it, then use a blue cathode to light it all up.

i dunno if you wanna spend this much on a case,here is something from newegg made by Lian Li.
just add your dolphins

ummm wow, that thing is gay. i think my mom would even think so, lol i appreciate the thought though. Does anyone know some place that does cstom window etching at a reasonable price?

I have no idea where you can get the etching, but you could get some decals for pretty cheap prolly. For lights you should try something like this http://www.jab-tech.com/Sunbeam-bubble-lig...ue-pr-1884.html

Since it's for your mama I'd keep it simple...something like what ady1989 suggested would look nice. To spice it up though give it a dolphin themed desktop
Dolphin Theme

Edit:Link won't take you to the right page...click on animals under the themes column dig a couple of pages down and look for "Dolphins Frolic"....I know gay sounding but a nice graphic

Edit here's another link...lots of dolphin themes hereMore Themes

Something else I just thought of, not sure how you could encorperate it.
You could get something like this, and put a blue LED under it and it would look pretty cool. My mom had something similar but its an angel and it spins (not on her computer).

custom paint job... green-blue fade with grey dolphin



would be cool if you knew someone who could airbrush too to make the dolphin have eyes and look 3d or w/e...

maybe a custom spray place would do the case panels and keyboard/mouse/monitor casings... would be really cool

for the etching, you could do it yourself, if you have a steady hand, but you probably dont, so you should get it done, but do it in plexy thick enough that you can fit LED's in the side, so you can do this

Thats pretty cool I might have to try that on my next rig.

Loll reminds me of the movie hitchhiker guide when there's the bit with the dolphins and thanks for all the fish loll

My ideas

i like galla's idea


farewell and thanks for all the fish!

how about a plexi case half transparent and the other aqua blue separated in a wave like line with those scented plastic dolphins all over inside on plexi rods Oooohhh! cool!
